The Hermit

Definitely  aligned with The Hermit


The number 11 card in the deck.


A bespectacled well dressed man carries a book under one arm.


In the standard tarot the Hermit is most universally depicted as carrying a lantern to light the way for others.  This hermit is the modern light bringer, his lantern is a book. He is most definitely a teacher and is probably respected by his students.


In present and future aspects he represents one who will educate and enlighten others. In the past aspect, one who has already done so. It may also indicate a simpler version of this as one who would rather read a good book than socialize with others, a hermit or recluse.


Inverted it would take the connotation of a bad teacher, one who dispensed poor information or withheld facts. One who likes to keep people "in the dark".
