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.

Jody, I love this painting.My grandfather worked in a cotton mill in High Point NC for fifty years. My grandmother started work at a cotton mill in fourth grade, I have a warm place in my heart for these abandoned mills.
Thanks Tracey….cotton mills were the heart of the town where I live leaving it pretty much a ghost town when they closed. Chester has two 'mill villages' for the Gayle and Eureka mills... owned by Leroy Springs. There is still much pride and good memories in the older citizens that grew up in these villages but sadly they have become high crime areas now…edging out the remaining original families.
Me too jody…. I love these old buildings too….so much history….so many stories to tell!
I didn't grow up here, Sally, so I don't have first hand experience in the Mill life but from talking to the folks here it was like an extended family. Ever so often SC Public TV will air a program on these cotton mills and I love seeing them. I've always been drawn to the past. Your Charleston is just 'alive' with it and I do so love the few times I've been on the home & garden and plantation tours there.
