The card
An old man in a gray cloak stands alone on a snowy peak, leaning on a staff and holding up a lantern with a six-pointed star inside. His light reaches only the next few steps of the path. The card invites a quieter stretch of time, away from the noise, to hear your own thoughts and find your own way.
Upright meaning
Solitude, soul-searching, wisdom.
Reversed meaning
Isolation, withdrawal.
