Aruhani, my beloved dehar. (I'm very close to Lunil, too.)

Edi Gathegi, actor. (Yes, I'm aware that he's in the *gasp* Twilight movies.)

Am I the only one who sees a resemblance? Hmmm.

For information about the dehara, read on. Enjoy.

Who Am I?

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.
