The lantern dims, its glow hidden beneath the cloak.

In this episode, we explore The Hermit Reversed—a time when solitude turns to seclusion, and reflection drifts into avoidance. The Hermit’s wisdom grows distant here, buried under distraction, fear, or the ache of disconnection.

Through story and symbol, this card reveals what happens when the search for truth becomes a retreat from it. This card calls us back to our own flame, asking: Have you withdrawn for healing—or have you simply stopped looking outward?
