What Tarot Card Are You?

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.

It was a relatively nice day and I was quite excited to see people building outrageous aircraft just to crash into the river. Thinking that the crashing will start bright and early at the advertised time of 11:00am (which is incredibly early for the boyfriend and I) we got there to meet an already large crowd. Walked around the dock looking at the competitors and their creations who are all vying for crowd favorite by putting up a performance. Afterwards, we waited around for the event to start but it was postponed because of the gust created by Hurricane Earl. The sun was bright though and we were getting a sunburn amidst crowds of Jersey Shore wannabes. We were about to leave when the event started around 1:30pm, saw a few crashes in the jumbotron and left not long after. Didn't seem anyone designed to fly since all of them dropped like a bag of rocks.
