hello I'm Ellen Goldberg and I welcome
you to at our moment from the school of
Oracle's in this segment we're going to
look at the card of the Hermit the
Hermit is the ninth card in the series
of Tarot Trump's the Major Arcana a nine
is a number of completion as it is the
last of the single-digit numbers in fact
completion is the name of the number
nine the Hermit is the fool returned to
the mountaintop after an entire cycle of
experience now instead of being a fool
he's away show her he's holding a lamp
to guide the way for others so that they
too can reach the top of the mountain
which is a symbol of spiritual
illumination make of yourself a lamp
said the Buddha and this is what the
Hermit has done now the hermit's Hebrew
letter is yard the actual building block
of the entire Hebrew alphabet yard y ou
D in English is a magical letter it's a
seed this card is ruled by the sign of
Virgo
some say Virgo is a virgin which is not
a virgin in the sense that we think of
someone who has never had sex because
actually the Hermit is an intense
spiritual sexual ecstasy because we only
see half of him the other half is turned
towards the divine Virgo is really
virgin like a virgin forest meaning
complete and whole unto herself this
card given the attribution of sexual
intercourse by the Sepher Yetzirah to
the letter yard because this is the
casting of the seed of creation the
Virgo that we love is much more complex
then people would know it is where our
chemical transformation takes place
because Virgo rolls the intestines and
in the intestines real physical
transformation takes place when you're
going to be come and adapt we find him
alone sometimes the card is drawn and
you see it as dark night but the Hermit
is never alone he's constantly
accompanied by the divine the staff of
the Hermit is the magic wand of the
magician whenever you see a person drawn
in the Tarot in profile with a white
beard they're showing you that this is a
version of God for the wise old man of
meaning is always shown in profile half
towards us half towards the spiritual
reality sometimes this card is the inner
teacher and it will show up in your
dreams I find that the Hermit shows up
in dreams as a wise old man or a wise
old woman more frequently than any other
archetype very available and you can
invoke this when you go to sleep it was
said in the Greek Gospels in the Gnostic
Gospels that the original idea of
solitaire meant to be unified in fact
the Christ said I Jesus say this that
when a person finds themselves solitary
they will be filled with light
but if they are divided they will be
filled with darkness when this card
comes in you're reading on its upper
polarity it has to do with Union it has
to do with being taken care of and the
presence of the inner teacher it's wise
it has foresight this
provision because Virgo takes care of
the world and feeds the world she rules
the time of the harvest when this card
is on its lower polarity you may find
yourself divided from your own inner
nature to solitary feeling isolation or
instead of the wonderful maturity that
this card brings when it is used in its
highest sense you may find someone with
a Peter Pan complex who refuses to grow
up immaturity refusing to take any
provisions for the future and just kind
of like the ant and the grasshopper
if the grasshopper just living for today
and not thinking about what may come
tomorrow
