MILIX

I was God's best contemplating death with a Gillette

But no man is ever worth the paradise manifest

(Björk Songs as Tarot Cards, Part IX)

“I dive into it / Down to the bottom / Underneath all currents”

introspection, inward focus, inner guidance

seeking greater understanding

solitude, withdrawal from the outside world

I live by the ocean

And during the night

I dive into it

Down to the bottom

Underneath all currents 

“[The Hermit] requires retreat from any ‘high life’ and loud company, and stands for a time of self-reflection and self-realization … For most people, the silent loneliness of the Hermit appears unattractive, but behind the Hermit is the wisdom of the High Priestess.” (source)

(See the High Priestess (“Sweet Intuition”) here.)

I drop my anchor

This is where I’m staying

This is my home  

“The Hermit has set out in search of internal fulfillment and has found the light within … There is no reason to chase after the deceptive light of that which is external and transitory. When you repose in yourself, you have come home.” ⁠—Gerd Ziegler
