The Hermit
Since the symbols of the Hermit are pretty straight forward, this was a relatively easier card for me. The concept of the Hermit I can relate to, so often I enjoy solitude, I could be happy just with myself and my art, books and old movies.
Solitude is a wonderful commodity and not one to take for granted.
I used the imagery of an ancient forest with stone steps going upward toward the top. Hidden in the green, the appearance of the symbol of Virgo, which is the sign my boyfriend was born under.
I placed the ultimate gypsy Stevie Nicks ascending the stairs as the Hermit, holding the staff and the lantern. And on the first step is a frog trying to ascend after her, representing me seeking wisdom from the Hermit of the forest.
I used Stevie's song, Sorcerer
Sorcerer, who is the master
A man and woman on a star stream
In the middle of a snow dream
Sorcerer, show me the high life
Come over let me put you on ice
