The Hermit also symbolizes the turning away from a predominantly material way of life to a life filled with inner wealth. Often we see celebrities who own several mansions and millions of dollars but are deeply unhappy due to inner emptiness.
These people often lack a sense of their inner desires and needs. They are under the illusion that through money all needs can be satisfied.
But only if we dare to go on the arduous path to self-awareness like The Hermit, equipped only with the bare essentials, will we realize how we can attain deep and lasting happiness in life.
The Hermit is equipped only with the essentials for his journey, foregoing any ostentation or luxury so that he can concentrate entirely on himself.
