I like to say sometimes with Tarot, all roads lead home. Every observation ultimately becomes a personal observation. The stuff that drives you crazy about other people? It says more about YOU than anyone else, a lot of the time. The problem you have over and over? About you. The things that happen in your life, the lessons, the problems, the recurrent patterns? Always the same common denominator, man.
If you look long enough, every window eventually becomes a mirror. Even if what you see doesn’t directly reflect your behavior, reactions do tell you something about yourself.
“Damn mirrors!” as one of my Tarot peeps says. Then we laugh, knowing that once you’ve caught that reflection, you may be able to ignore it at times but you cannot un-see it. Growth accomplished, damn it!
This is the energy of the Hermit. He withdraws from the world as a method to explore the universe. Every answer he finds within.
When you see the Hermit, you may want to set aside some quiet time, not just to “solve problems” but to meditate, relax, and regenerate. Sometimes it’s not until we quiet the din of everyday life that we can hear the voice of truth.
Are you feeling “Hermity?” (Yes, I just said “Hermity.” Deal with it.)

I love it when I am feeling hermity (love that word!!)
tomorrow I will have some hermit time for meditation. It is silly but meditating is often the first item to mysteriously disappear from my to-do list.
Honey I usually say “FU**ING mirrors” hahaha. I’m looking for some down time to be “hermity” love this word but it’ll have to wait until company leaves and I have some damn time at home/dixiblog/domains/afoolsjourney.com/public_html alone for God’s sake.
