( Hermit: one that retires from society and lives in solitude, especially for religious reasons. )
" Going inward may lead to madness and the abyss, for the unconscious is filled with images that you may not yet understand, lurking and waiting to lure you ever inside. Like a person who gets lost in her own dreams, the hermit may find herself stuck in a world of her own, alone, trapped, unreal."
