The Hermit Witch

The Hermit Witch I love the world of Tarot and have my own personal twist when doing in-person readings. The cards offer guidance to help us look at what is already inside us.

I don't think they tell the future, but can give us perspective and direction.

Our Vision card, the Ace of Swords, has us truly starting the week off fresh and new. We are being asked to start right back at square one and really look at how we think.

It's time for new ideas and perspectives. Do you have a problem needing solved that has been nagging you for a long time? It's time to look at it from a completely different angle. This could be something specific for you on a personal level, but this energy is something that is definitely permeating on a global scale.

There is this need for truth and clarity right now. The old way of thinking just isn't going to cut it. Be open to creativity and ideas that inspire you instantly. They could very well be what you need to focus on right now. And the ability to manifest them is possible!

Our Lesson from the Sacred Rebels Oracle this week is that convention isn't going to cut it anymore. Like I mentioned with the Hermit as our Manifeststion this week, we will have to start listening to what calls us from deep within. It's time to let it out and follow what truly speaks to us. That means even if the path we want draws attention and judgement from those that demand we stick to the script, keep our heads down and do as we are told.

Those days are done. The world is changing, and fast. And those that are going to stay afloat and bring the world into a new, bright future are the people willing to be authentic and fully themselves.

We have to be willing to lean into the discomfort that drastic change can bring and experience the shock that extreme newness can cause. Novelty and change is good for the brain when it is willing. Fear is the only thing that will hold us back.

So let's go into the future with openness, love, and excitement. Change must happen.

The Healing card for the week essentially sums up everything I have already said. The Empress is the nurturing mother earth, wanting to protect and love all her children.

We have all heard at one time or another that humans are the caretakers of the earth. Often interpreted in more harmful and controlling ways it's time to look at this role with the eyes of a mother ourselves.

We all look for that safety, love, and security only a mother can provide. Nurturing and wholesome. But we can only find that if we embody that way of being ourselves so that we can all be that for each other, leaving no one and nothing neglected.

We are stronger together. Nature works in a network of interwoven connections, and we are part of that. It's time for us to work together and rediscover how we can nuture a planet that niture's us.

The Hermit as our Manifestation card this week is asking us to pursue a calling. Normally this card asks one to take a deep spiritual journey inward. But what does a hermit do with the wisdom they have gained once their pilgrimage of solitude is ended?

They share their wisdom with those who will listen, spreading knowledge and skills for the betterment of everyone.

The best way to be of service to the greater good is to pursue what has been calling to you from deep within. What path has been calling your name lately? I imagine you have already been seeing little signs and synchronicities lately. Whatever it is, it will lead you in the direction of where you can do the most good with the most impact in your life.

Doing what you love can be fulfilling for yourself, but it often leads to helping others find their way too.

The Star is reminding us that we all have the power to keep hope alive. Humans are survivors. We all have stories in our family histories of relatives, maybe long gone, who struggled and persevered through much of history's darkest chapters. But what seems like long long ago actually wasn't and we are still living with the echos of those stories.

It's time for us all to learn from them. From both the hardships and the hope that got people through it all. Yesterday's Knight of Cups and today's Star partnered together reminds us that we can only get through what might be coming if we work together, take care of eachother and keep alive that which is the best parts of humanity: our ability to have hope and show love at even the darkest moments.

It's time to open ourselves up to the possibilities of the future, rather than fearing what's to come.

This week's Vision has us shifting our focus outward rather than inward. It's time to look at what we do, why we do it, and who we do it for.

The Knight of Cups is most closely associated with chivalry and love. People often associate him with the knight in shining armour trope. But I think it can be more accurately associated with self-sacrifice and acts of service. This knight is a humanitarian and community minded.

The question you are being asked is what do you do to help others? Not just the people who are closest to you, but your community and even the world as a whole. And do you do it out of love?

The quote that comes to my mind when I seen this knight is from Spock: "The needs of the many outweigh the few, or the one." And another quote that is shining brightly across social media right now is "The only thing more powerful than hate is love."

So how are you being of service these days?

February 13, 2026

Our oracle this week is asking us, through all your journeys, and goals, and how you move through life, do you do it with love, or judgement?

Is it about competition or nurturing? Division, or connection?

Often when we take on something we tackle it with fear and struggle like it is a huge obstacle to overcome.  Forgetting to take care of ourselves or others, focused only on the outcome.

When all along the way there will be opportunities to connect with people, nature, the universe. Often through simple acts of opening up and connecting with ourselves.

If we slow down and take the time to make sure we are healthy, grounded, and centered. Then we can focus on where our intentions are coming from and point them in the right direction. This becomes contagious as we then find ourselves capable of helping other and also, more importantly, allowing others to help us.

The Three of Wands as our Healing card tells us that it is important to be an active participant in the planning and creation of our own future. The choices we make and the actions we take determine who we are and where we go.

This card is not about sitting around and waiting for life to come to us. That's just not how it works. If you want to see things and do things and meet people and have adventures,  well then, you gotta get up off your couch and go find them!

And what if what you are doing right now is exactly what you want to be doing? Then how do you keep yourself motivated when things go wrong or it starts to feel monotonous or futile on the way to the results? That is solely up to you and your perspective. How can you be your hype person and persevere?

We don't wait around for someone else to do it.
We can be our own heros!

The Seven of Pentacles as our Manifestation card this week is a bit of a heads up. Make sure the hard work you put into something is gonna pay off.

When we decide to take on an opportunity presented to us one of the first things we ask ourselves is if the effort will be worth it in the end. Now this may seem confusing and the past two cards this week have been telling us to be more positive and take things on. Well, we can still do that, but being optimistic does not mean everything will be easy going. You still have to do hard work and make some sacrifices to achieve anything worth doing.

This card is saying, check in with yourself on a regular basis to make sure you are putting your efforts in where they need to be. Make sure you are using your time and skills wisely and efficiently all along your journey towards your goal. Because you first envisioned a plan one way, doesn't mean you have to keep it that way if part way through it proves to be not working. Reassessment or discovery of new information and skills might warrant a bit of a redirection to improve the plan. And that's okay!

The change and growth along the way is just as important as the destination.

This week's Power card, the Ace of Pentacles is a pretty straightforward message and directly relates to our Vision from yesterday:

Say yes!

If you stick to the vision of focusing on what you do have and stop dwelling on the past, it may seem suddenly like opportunities will magically start popping up from the most unlikely places. They were there all along, you just didn't see them before, or were too busy saying no to everything.

But now, you realize anything could be possible, and it all depends on your choices. Anything could happen if you just give it the energy it needs to bloom.

So don't be a stick in the mud. Say yes to something, it might be fun!

The Four of Cups as this week's Vision card it telling us that we are focused on the wrong things, and that has got to change. Because if we continue this way, we are bound to miss some beautiful opportunities coming our way, or lose the beautiful things already in our life that we have been ignoring all along.

For some of us, it's about dwelling on our past mistakes and the shame it makes us feel. If you stay stuck in the past and continually beat yourself up about it, then when an opportunity comes along to give it another try, you may be telling yourself "why bother, it never works out." Change that perspective: what have you learned from those mistakes, what can you do different? Have you grown as a person since those past events happened? I imagine you are not that same person now. It's worth it to try again.

For others it is about romanticizing the bad mistakes or daydreaming about the things that are out of grasp instead of seeing the choices that are right in front of us, already within our reach and probably a hell of a lot better for us. Do you maybe have a bit of "the grass is always greener on the other side" syndrome? Do you always want the flashier, fancier, more expensive solution, when what you need right now is already in your life and can give you what you need?

Look around yourself and see what and who you are grateful for, and what can serve you and your purpose that is already in your life.

This weeks Lesson from the Sacred Rebel Oracle is Inner Trust. We are being shown that this is not a time for holding back or being small. It's time to trust our intuition and move towards what we feel it is guiding us towards. Even if we can't see why.

This week's wheel speaks of massive, life altering changes. And this card is saying we can't make these changes unless we are willing to take big leaps of faith. And that requires us having faith in ourselves.

Believe in yourself that you can do the things you have always dreamed of but were too scared to leave a comfort zone for. Remember, that comfort zone you have been in may very well have been an illusion.

Express yourself without fear. Whatever the outcome of it is, you will grow and learn from it. You will bring change to yourself and possibly others.

This week, remember, change is good no matter how scary it seems. And no matter what comes your way, trust that you are who you need to be right now to build the future for who you will be.
