Notes
- I most associate The Hermit with Covid-19 lockdown, and the kinds of shifts (personal, cultural, social) the individual experiences when forced into prolonged isolation. The Hermit is usually associated with a sage, someone who’s spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting. But phenomena like lockdown and cabin fever teach us that sometimes isolation brings out the worst in us instead, and sometimes we resist and deny the growth that comes from looking inward.
