Major Arcana 9

THE HERMIT

Basho, a cat, walks alone on a cold night road by the light of a lantern. Looking back on his long journey and experiences up to this point, he wondered, “Was this really the right thing to do? What is the ideal I am seeking?” Basho looks deep into his heart.

Although he can only see his feet now, a large universe spreads out above his heads and gazes at Basho.

Looking back on your growth, what ideals do you see now?
