About the origin of the Tarot de Marseilles, we know few things but we can but say that the Tarot de Marseille play appeared in France under the reign of the king Charles VI.
The Empress
The Hermit – Arcana VIIII
The Hermit is the ninth Tarot card.
This tarot card is represented by an ancient man wearing a cape and carrying a lantern, walking with a cane. This ancient person seems to walk with caution.
The Hanged Man is one of those images in a tarot card deck that are recognizable even to those who have never had a reading. His illustration is based on the Norse god Odin, who hung from a tree for days to learn the secrets of the Runes. This card brings with it many paradoxes that may be hard for you to wade through and sort out. Admitting dread will give you enough courage to conquer it. If you resist being controlling, everything will become more controlled. The Hanged Man instructs that these lessons can only be learned and understood if you stay still long enough to learn them. You can’t go forward in life while you are struggling in place. Some things may have to be sacrificed for an overall gain.
The last five cards in the major arcana are some of the most significant cards in the deck. They demonstrate the last parts a humans life.
