Why an audio course
=================
The purpose of this audio podcast is to help reinforce key messages by audio, while you clean, exercise, mow your lawn, or drive great distances. There is no charge for this content, and it is intended to provide short, snappy microlearning to help beginners keep practicing and reinforcing the learning. The best way to learn Tarot cards, is to keep practicing working with the cards. 

Rider Waite Tarot Card Deck
=======================
I learned how to read cards on the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and the instructor I had said its easiest to have everyone on the same deck when explaining the symbolism. With time, I was able to transfer that knowledge to other decks. If you are a beginner at learning Taro, below are some links to the Rider Waite Tarot Deck to follow along if you need a set of cards.

About Carrie and  @QuickLearnQuests 
===============================
I have been reading Tarot cards for 30 years for fun. I took a two and a half day course, and I was so excited to be able to take the mystery out of getting readings done for myself, and to be able to do them myself. We also have social media channels, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and all major podcast distributors such as Spotify, Apple, Audible and many others under the handle @quickLearnQuests. I am focusing mostly on my podcasts and YouTube at the moment, but I will expand into more social media more consistently when I find my feet.

Welcome to the "Memorizing Tarot Cards" podcast, your three-minute lessons on learning and memorizing each card using symbolism. I use the Rider Waite Tarot, but you can view the card while you listen using your own Tarot card deck or a computer. Today, we're exploring the Hermit card, focusing on reversals. Let's start with the divine meaning of the card and then its meaning when reversed.

The Hermit Upright represents introspection, inner guidance, and the pursuit of wisdom through solitude. It's a card that invites you to step back, reflect, and seek answers. However, when The Hermit appears reversed, this reflective energy can become isolating or imbalanced. It can suggest that you've withdrawn too deeply or feel disconnected from others and struggling to reintegrate. The reversed Hermit often signals that while solitude has its benefits, excessive withdrawal can lead to feelings of loneliness or a sense of being out of touch with the world around you.

So what does that mean when we see the Hermit card reversed in a reading? When the Hermit card reversed appears in a reading, it's a sign to evaluate your relationship with solitude. This card suggests it might be time to reconnect with others and bring balance to your alone time and engagement with the outside world. It may also indicate that you must be more understood and connected to your purpose. The reversed Hermit card invites you to find a way to share your insights or reach out for support, reminding you that you don't have to go through challenges alone. 

So, what is the best way to memorize the Hermit card in reverse? Tying the card to a personal experience helps me remember it. For example, my reversed Hermit card moment was when I was re-entering the world "in person" after COVID.  It was a huge adjustment not being in the office, socializing with people outside of video, other than my husband, and having the freedom to interact with people without considering the rules or consequences.  Once the restrictions were lifted and we could interact, it was again an adjustment for me.  I was comfortable with not going out and working from home.  Like many people I worked with, I didn't want to return to the office.  Once my Hermit Card was reversed, I needed to reconnect with others for my well-being and mental health.   Truthfully, I am still working on it.

That's all for today's episode of the Hermit Card Reversed. Remember, to memorize tarot, keep practicing tarot.
