Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Hermit
Upright
Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance
When The Hermit card appears it is time for drawing your energy and attention inward and finding the answers deep within your soul by taking a break from everyday life. You understand that your most intense sense of truth and the most valuable knowledge is within yourself. You leave behind the earthly issues to set off on a spiritual journey. Now is the perfect time to go to a place where you can get closer to your authentic self and observe personal purposes and principles.
The Hermit calls you to go into your inner world and encounter a deep sense of solitude and meditation. When you allow yourself to harmonize into your inner light, you will discover the answers you need inside your heart and become wiser. Find the light shining in your soul and you can create your unique path now.
The Hermit often arrives when you are at a crucial period in your life and considering a new direction. After looking at your soul with a deeper, more spiritual understanding, your priorities could shift as a consequence.
Finally, the Hermit may be shown in your life as a spiritual teacher to help you raise your vibration and develop your consciousness. He will guide you on finding your answers and solutions within you.
Reversed
Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal
The reversed Hermit can show one of two situations: you are not taking enough time for personal observation, or you are taking too much. The Reversed Hermit encourages you to create more space to meditate and spend time with yourself if you struggle to know your spirituality. It may be time to go inward and rediscover your greater mission on this planet. You may have been so busy dealing with the daily concerns. So you have forgotten to listen to your inner sound.
If you have already been spending a lot of time contemplating on your inner world, then the reversed Hermit may urge that you may be taking this isolation thing too far. Are you literally becoming a hermit and cutting yourself off from the external world? Do not underestimate the importance of staying united with other people, even while you are going through your spiritual journey.
The Devil
Upright
Shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, sexuality
The Devil card symbolizes your shadow side and the negative forces that hold you back from being the best version of yourself. You may be at the effect of negative obsessions, thought patterns or addictions. You have found yourself caught between the momentary pleasure. Just as the Lovers card, Devil also speaks to duality; however, you are choosing the path of immediate satisfaction with the Devil, even if it costs your long-term health. Just like you have sold your soul to the Devil!
The Devil card often arrives when you have been thinking you have no control over your dark side, and that you can never break free from the hold of negative forces. However, deep down, you know it does harm to you, and you are doing it yourself damage when you trap into these needs with lower vibration. You need to accept the hold they have on you to break free of these negative addictions.
On the positive meaning, the Devil can also present a powerful attachment between two people, such as a new love affair still in its ‘honeymoon stage’. Be careful, because, with the Devil card, this healthy attachment could also turn into a co-dependent bond if you lose touch with your intuition.
The Devil could also signify your wild side and sexuality in a love reading. Also, it can symbolize strong chemistry and sexual attraction with your partner. You may be exploring your darkest and wildest fantasies. If you can do this within a safe space, it could be a very enriching adventure. However, it can easily turn into something that may be threatening or harmful to your being, so, set clear limits ready to go.
Reversed
Releasing limiting beliefs, exploring dark thoughts, detachment
The reversed Devil card can often be shown when you are on the boundary of a breaking point. You are being invited to your greatest potential, however, you must let go of any harmful habits or restricting beliefs that may hold you back. Let go of concerns and release any limiting beliefs standing in the way of your growth. It is easier than you think.
The reversed Devil calls on you to drop things you know are dangerous to you and your personality. It could be about creating a healthy diet, using less social media, quitting drinking and smoking, spending more time in nature, or focusing more on your purposes.
The reversed Devil may also be a warning that you are hiding your darkest self from other people as a secret. You may have thoughts or fantasies that you don’t want others to know because you feel ashamed. There is also a need to admit who you are and forgive yourself for the ideas you have.
Finally, the Devil reversed encourages you to train the detachment state, a state in which you defeat your attachment to the longing for things, people or ideas, and free yourself. It doesn’t mean you don’t care for them; you free yourself from dependency.
