Message the show & share your thoughts!2025 was The Year of The Hermit (and still is for a couple more weeks).While I didn't move to a mountaintop cave (and you probably didn't either), The Hermit still had lots to teach me this year (and probably you too!).In this episode, I briefly review the imagery, meaning, and archetypal substance of The Hermit... Then I share five ways I worked with The Hermit this year — often without even realizing it in the moment. Some of these involved internal shifts, big downloads, and changes in routine. Others came from external experiences and interactions with other beings — human and nonhuman. My hope in sharing my examples is that you'll be begin to notice how The Hermit showed up for you this year! But if you want more help with that, join my Reflecting on the Year of The Hermit workshop on December 29.HEAD TO THE EVENTS PAGE for details on this workshop and others coming up this winter, including another on the Wheel of Fortune (and The Magician), our cards for 2026.If you enjoy the show, please subscribe, leave a review, and pass along to your creative and magical friends!
