I'm the tarot hermit. I suspect a lot of people might be -- all my answers were veering between literature and science. I am intrigued by the tarot, though predictably don't have any belief in the supernatural. But it was going to be instrumental in a short story, and I like the heritage, and the idea of different decks representing the same thing in different ways, and perhaps even the idea of a reading just as introspection.

Piers Anthony has several books obsessed with it, another aspect of him that I find quite pleasing, slightly worrying, and overwhelmed by others.

There was a choice of five decks: cat, chinese, dragon, fantastic and winged. I expected the dragon to be coolest and the cat people to be kinky, but of all the pictures I liked this old man the best.

You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

When the Reeve raises the new sun, they declare its shape to the assembled Jomsvikingar. According to my lj, [livejournal.com profile] emperor's sun was in the shape of a bicycle wheel with the spokes filled in. To my shame, I can't remember what shape my own sun was, in 2000.

Ah, 2000 was your year; that's as far as the website goes back, and the committee weren't listed.

Hmmm. Clare's email forgot to mention that, thank you. Maybe I should make it a vyvan shaped sun ;)
