The Hermit


The Hermit

The Hermit, the lunar male, retreats from the company of others to replenish his soul in solitude as he communes with the natural world. He listens to the language of the birds as he writes and sketches in his journal at twilight time. His guardian is the barred owl, he who sees keenly in the darkness and embodies silent wisdom. From the sacred smoke of burning sage, visions rise of spirit animals. The loon, with its primal eerie call, leads the Hermit into the waters of his dreams and ancestral memories. Wolf, the moon’s ally, reminds the Hermit that he is part of a pack or tribe, even when he spends time apart from it. The merlin is a magical, shapeshifting raptor who shares its name with the Wise Old Man of Arthurian legend. All three are teachers of the Hermit’s soul.
