About Me
My Tarot Card Is The Hermit
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.

Oh, wow! Now that's *early* plastic! Nice take on the theme and a very nice shot!
I haven't seen a rotary photo in forever. We had one when I was a kid.
Great shot for the week's theme.
I remember these phones and My Mother's pride in her first "Princess" PINK phone. My mother loved anything PINK to excess. Most of us siblings shun the color to this day. I was dressed in pink and looked hideous with my sallow colored part-Indian skin.
I remember those, too! I haven't seen one in a very long time.
OOOOOh, where did you find one?? I would love to dial again, what fun!
Wonderful choice for the theme, happy PH and happy weekend :)

And you could drop that phone off the roof and it would remain intact.
My sister had one like this until recently. They were much more solid than the modern things. I love the way you framed this.
How cool to have access to the past like that! Really neat shots.
If those wheels could talk, imagine the stories...
I remember those phones... the rotary sound was amazing.... great shot! Mine is up here.
Those were great phones. Nice and solid and made lovely click click click noises.
Have not seen one of those in years! Thanks for stopping by :)
& the ring! No chance you'd miss that call! lol Great entry.
PERFECT! I love what you came up with. So clever. Great photo. I remember my phone like that. I even had one that was bright red and we called it the "bat phone".
I played too! I’m just running behind in visiting others. Come on over.
Have a wonderful weekend!
GREAT subject for this weeks theme word! I miss that old sound too! Thanks for visiting my hunt ! I appreciate your visit
Goes to show plastic has been around a while! Cool!
