Texto original de Waite (1911)

Simbolismo interior (original)

The variation from the conventional models in this card is only that the lamp is not enveloped partially in the mantle of its bearer, who blends the idea of the Ancient of Days with the Light of the World. It is a star which shines in the lantern. I have said that this is a card of attainment, and to extend this conception the figure is seen holding up his beacon on an eminence. Therefore the Hermit is not, as Court de Gebelin explained, a wise man in search of truth and justice; nor is he, as a later explanation proposes, an especial example of experience. His beacon intimates that "where I am, you also may be."

It is further a card which is understood quite incorrectly when it is connected with the idea of occult isolation, as the protection of personal magnetism against admixture. This is one of the frivolous renderings which we owe to Eliphas Lévi. It has been adopted by the French Order of Martinism and some of us have heard a great deal of the Silent and Unknown Philosophy enveloped by his mantle from the knowledge of the profane. In true Martinism, the significance of the term Philosophe inconnu was of another order. It did not refer to the intended concealment of the Instituted Mysteries, much less of their substitutes, but—like the card itself—to the truth that the Divine Mysteries secure their own protection from those who are unprepared.

Significado original del derecho

What he originally held was an hourglass — the attribute of Time. The lamp came later.

Documented imagery

Attested by surviving objects or texts

Before the hourglass became a lamp, he was Time

In early Italian decks this card is called Il Vecchio, the old man, and it also appears as Il Gobbo, the hunchback. In the earlier scheme what the old man holds up is an hourglass, the fixed marker of Time (Il Tempo), and the classical personification of Time is precisely Saturn with his scythe and hourglass (Greek Kronos). Only once the hourglass became a lantern did the weight of the card shift from time passing to lighting the way and searching.

Esoteric correspondence

A sourced traditional claim, but constructed inside an occult system

There is a star in the lamp, and two titles folded into one figure

Waite writes that in the lamp "a star which shines in the lantern," and that the figure "blends the idea of the Ancient of Days with the Light of the World." The first comes from Daniel 7:9; the second is a title of Christ. He also says the Hermit holds the lamp up on high, meaning "where I am, you also may be" — the opposite of a recluse keeping himself to himself.

Two older readings, struck out on the spot by the author

Waite names and rejects two men in this entry. First Court de Gébelin — the man who launched the Egyptian-origin theory in 1781 — who called the Hermit a sage in search of truth and justice; Waite says he is not. Second Lévi's account of occult isolation, of keeping one's personal magnetism from being mixed with others'; Waite calls that a "one of the frivolous renderings which we owe to Eliphas Lévi." Both of these rejected readings are still in wide circulation today in second-hand material.

Virgo and the letter Yod

The Golden Dawn assigns the Hermit to Virgo (Hebrew letter Yod). Yod is the smallest of the Hebrew letters, shaped like a single point, and is often described as the stroke from which everything else is begun. That is where the register of selection, refinement, and small things carrying weight comes from.
