The Hermit and The Tower
A season of solitude lights the way to inner truth. This card suggests withdrawing to reflect, seeking wisdom within, and letting your inner lamp guide the path.
A sudden upheaval shatters false foundations, revealing truth in a flash. This card suggests that disruption, though jarring, clears illusion and frees you to rebuild on solid ground.
