The Hermit (A remete)

Here we see the Hermit Card—the Wise Man—card number nine, showing four fingers on each hand. He is a hermit—a steward apart from the ten thousand ‘I’s. He has four furrows on his forehead, forming a pyramid, and one more over his left eye. On the top of his staff is a circle, and beneath it an orange square. His first finger touches the circle, while his bottom finger touches a square, like the sculpture in Goethe’s garden
