A Hermit is a Tarot card, which is kind of like a special type of fortune telling card. It usually shows a picture of an old, wise-looking hermit, who is alone and sometimes has a lantern. This card symbolizes wisdom, intuition and inner knowledge. It tells you to go within and search for answers to your questions. It's about learning from your own experiences and not being afraid to be alone with your thoughts. The Hermit card can also mean introspection, patience, and thoughtfulness.
