Today’s Card of the Day is the Hermit - Angel Paths

Timely: For the past little while I have been considering what my path is. I have taken many courses and read plenty of material (it’s growing and changing all the time). I seem to be searching for the perfect fit, yet I know that no matter what I choose to do it will be the right way for me.

As well I was just saying yesterday how when I began to realize this side of life I literally went from a socialite to a hermit. Eeeerie. 

The Hermit (or sometimes Lord of Time) is numbered nine and is usually depicted as an old man, carrying a lamp or staff. He picks his way carefully through the terrain. The Lamp of Knowledge he carries is a magical receptacle for all the knowledge and wisdom he has acquired through many years of study and meditation. The staff represents the weight of his experience, upon which he leans for support.

The Hermit lacks human company, as the teaching/learning process is often one of aloneness and solitude. He is an adept, someone who knows the inner mysteries of life. He has reached the point in his journey where nobody else can help - he must rely on inner resources, previous experiences and sheer faith in the light which leads him.

When we walk the path of the Hermit we travel deep inside our soul. Here we discover the name of the god or goddess residing within us and bring back the keys to self-knowledge and mastery. After this, we live from the centre of our self and become content with our essential aloneness. And perhaps, after this, we will be ready to teach others what we have discovered.

Today’s Affirmation is: I dwell at the centre of myself.
