Here we find the influence of Hod in the Astral World (Yetzirah) with Jupiter's expansive nature being restricted by the dualities of Gemini ♊ providing a desire to go off in too many directions at once.

In this sephirat we find the angelic choir "The Beni-Elohim" who divert these dualities to an intellectual framework so that each can be understood, allowing the thinker (Hermit) to balance up his/her thinking and sow the seeds of understanding.

Connecting Hod to the all-important psychic consciousness of the Anima Mundi in Yesod is activating path number 19 "The Sun" ' relating to the astral triangle of The Personality (The Hermit being the activating path of the Higher Self in the Ethical Triangle).

The path of The Sun is Resh, composed of a masculine (intuitive, dynamic Yod) and feminine (intellectual, formative Heh) - it is these two energies which are balanced by the Beni-Elohim to produce an equilibrating force (Vau).

This path (The Sun) is the highest path of the human intellect, the point of connection of the human intellect/consciousness with the higher wisdom and bookishness of Hod, combining with the "vision of the machinery of the Universe" (DF) found in Yesod.

Here then in the Sun we see the "fluidic waters of chaos" (the aether of the wise) being organised by the work completed in Hod.

This is brought together in the consciousness of The Hermit, following the path of Temperance where he removes the spiritual and ethereal essences from the corporeal - purely directed by his will alone he brings into spirit his body so that it tempers his consciousness, thus forming something new which is more than the sum of its parts (a personal alchemical Yod Heh Vau culminating in "Heh").

This process is necessary to The Hermit, he must prepare his personality for the influx of light (conscious illumination) as he ascends his Mercurial path towards The Higher Self (elevation).

He is compelled to distance himself from any pressures that distract him from this path, to isolate from mundane aspects that might try to dissuade him from his task of crossing the Abyss.

We see here the birth, death and resurrection found in the lunar path of the Moon, the Hermit is symbolically the crayfish climbing out of the murky waters of his subconscious.

He also encompasses the same energies of The Fool, by becoming the "wise old age of the child" in being pure and innocent again due to his new found awareness by the Higher Self of The Supreme Spiritual Self, his emerging from the darkness into the light of manifestation through the microprosopos.

The light is symbolised here by his lamp - refering as it does to Tiphareth (illuminated consciousness) powered by Chesed (the Hermit's spiritual inspiration found in meditation of the knowledge of Hod and Yesod's mysticism).

In Chesed the abstract concepts he has learned form the roots of new activity in his mind, it is the sphere of the formulation of the archetypal idea - he receives the inspirations from spiritual influence without any form of physical interference as an impulse from the sphere of exalted consciousness.

The Hermit is then the Magician traveling in the Chariot, his spirit is lifted out of the earth domain to "fly" across the heavens - he becomes an outcast from his earthly physical world through his innate self-discipline and communion with spirit, the Higher Self, the H.G.A.

He is our guide then to the Higher Consciousness that we seek, his influence is the light of the spirit which will drive and guide us through new unfamiliar pathways, he is the "Lord of Shortened Force" in the eight of Swords, lighting the Hermetic Path as Mercury - The Teacher of Mysteries.

Due to covid and such, I decided to put together a workshop about tarot and Kabbalah. If you're wondering about my studies, I am a pupil of Eduardo Madirolas, a very respected and graceful kabbalist of traditional Kabbalah and also of hermetic Qabala.
