I'm still waiting for mine. Monumental size? Hurrraaaa!!
Dear FLiz,
Here be the extract from the booklet re. my Hermit. I hope you don't mind that I quote myself.
Finding herself at a critical crossroads, she has retired to her austerely well-appointed cave in the tranquil desert to have a good hard look at herself, her life and the path that may lie ahead. She is her own teacher, for nobody else can do that work for her. She will have to be both sensei and chela. She will examine her motives and her desires, her principles and values. To see where she needs to go next, she will ponder cause, effect and possibilities. Perfectly content with the task in hand, in harmonious agreement with The Necessity, she retains a sense of ironic detachment -not to mention a sense of humor and the knack of not taking herself excessively seriously, much to her familiars' great relief and amusement.
Traditional meanings: Wisdom. Inner teacher. Spiritual retreat. At ease with oneself. At ease with being on our own.
Reversed: Misanthropy. Superficiality. Insularity. Barren isolation (splendid or otherwise).
Hope this helps.
Dear Truelight,
You must forgive my doppey mind and godawful memory, but where else have we met other than here at this forum?
Anyways, thanks for the congtats & all that. I'm totally delighted that you're happy with the deck in spite of its monumental size. (It worries me that some folks will find it not easy to handle at all, see?)
However, it would seem that Shiffer are willing to bring out a smaller version, so that'd shut me up.
Stay wonderful and have fun.
