"Alone atop a snow-capped mountain, a lantern held high in one hand, a staff in the other: the Hermit moves at his own pace, lighting just enough of the path ahead."

Symbolism and Origin of the Card

This card is from the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck, published in 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. It is the most reproduced and studied tarot deck in the world: each card tells a complete scene (unlike the Tarot de Marseille, which is more symbolic and abstract in its minor arcana), making it the visual reference for modern tarot reading worldwide.

Voluntary withdrawal, introspection, wisdom gained in chosen rather than forced solitude. The Hermit does not flee the world: he gains perspective to better understand it, before returning to it.

What does The Hermit card mean?

The Hermit symbolizes introspection and wisdom acquired through a period of voluntary withdrawal. It is the card of solitary reflection that precedes an informed decision.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is FSC certified, so it comes from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
