Edmonton Tarot: The Hermit (IX)


Interpretation: The Hermit card denotes solitude, introspection and soul-searching. The person who draws this card may be at a crossroads in a relationship or in life. It is time to re-evaluate and seek something more.

Image: The Riverdale Labyrinth is my favourite labyrinth in Edmonton. This portable Cretan labyrinth is set up in a local community centre four times a year, once in every season. The labyrinth is made of long strands of golden beads stitched down on a large base of blue and violet broadcloth. I never miss a chance to walk this labyrinth!

  1. I hope to walk a labyrinth one day. It looks like a great way to do some walking meditation!

  2. That is not what I expected the Hermit card to be, but I like it. Crossroads need lots of thought.

  12. Seems like there's a lot of we hermits around which is a nice feeling. To walk around a labyrinth in a sacred manner is such a gift to a hermit. Maybe someday I'll walk one in Edmontun.

  21. Nice picture. I'm not sure if I told you I had contacted a woman who was teaching?/monitoring?/making available?/ labyrinth time in this area. She never contacted me back and I've lost her address. When the time is right I guess ...
