In her quest for validation and strength, our fool must figure out her next step. The illustration on the right shows her either closing her laptop or opening it which differs from most. The Hermit is usually carrying a lantern, representing inner light. In most cases she is standing at the top of a cliff or at a crossroad, lost and looking to the lantern to reveal the possible roads ahead.
