What Card Are You?

You are The Hermit
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Okay, so I never put too much stock into personality tests administered online but this one came out fairly accurate! Try it for yourself.

________________

Perhaps it was Providence, or the Universe that led me to draw the Magus/Magician as the first CAD I have done for nearly a year? Whatever forces were at work, it fits perfectly. I have been juggling a lot lately...work, family & friends, new ideas, old habits. You get the idea.

The Thoth deck is my prefered choice for self-study work; when I read for others, I often use the Rider or Morgan deck(s) but when it comes down to my being able to relate to a card through its imagry, nothing compares to the Crowley/Harris collaboration.

I am not a student of the O.D.O or any other Mystery School. But the connection I get with the symbols and archetypes and nuances of this particular deck almost make me wish I were.

One of the things that struck me most deeply about this card as we journeyed through today was that the figure bears a striking resemblance to the crucified Christ! In fact the symbology of Hermes' caduceus and Jesus' words: John 3:14,15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, 15: that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. ... were more than appearant albeit, hidden in plain sight until now. Then, again, there is the Emerald Tablet edict of As above, so Below; how this made itself obvious to me came again through the recorded words of Christ: on earth as it is in heaven... Consider me a dolt but I never picked up that correspondence before today.

So how did I manifest the Magus today? I purchased a new Tarot journal in which to write down my observations.
