Page of Wands, reversed

The Page of Wands shows a young person staring at a budding wand or staff.  He appears confident that this staff or wand is part of or contains all of the solution.  The staff is a symbol of leadership, direction, while the buds represent growth or a growth opportunity.   The lizards on his shirt represent renewal, rebirth, change.  The feather in the cap represents higher spiritual thought.

In the reverse, we can say that this card represents lack of direction, being stagnant spiritually, or unwilling to change or accept change.

When this card appears in reading, one should look and take inventory of the situation and themselves to determine the best course of action to move from being in the rut and back to a place to begin or start fresh again.

The Hermit

The Hermit is an individual who is standing on top of a mountain, he holds a light in his right hand, which has the Star of David.  He is a person who is a beacon of hope and light to those who seek for him but at the same time he's always searching for deeper truths and understanding.

He also holds a staff in his left hand, the staff is a symbol for guidance, direction, and sometimes even correction.  The mountain the Hermit stand on represents journeys, accomplishment, overcoming obstacles while his grey beard symbolizes experience.

The Hermit is a private person, in this image there are no trees, houses, rivers, buildings, he has retreated to the most solitude place - on top of this mountain he is closer to the heavens and able to her it's voice clearer without having to filter out the noise of everyday life.
