The Quest is the sacred journey to find personal enlightenment. Though many a hero may set out for some precious artifact such as the golden fleece, it is often the journey to such a jewel that proves to be more valuable than the bauble itself.The Quest does not exactly match any of the Futhark runes of the Norse. However it's meaning could be defined simply as: The search for enlightenment, knowledge, etc.
In the Rider Tarot, the Quest is the Persona of the Hermit:
In readings, the Hermit often suggests a need for time alone - a period of reflection when distractions are limited. In times of action and high energy, he stands for the still center that must be created for balance. He can also indicate that withdrawal or retreat is advised for the moment. In addition, the Hermit can represent seeking of all kinds, especially for deeper understanding or the truth of a situation. "Seek, and ye shall find," we have been told, and so the Hermit stands for guidance as well. We can receive help from wise teachers, and, in turn, help others as we progress. Keywords: wisdom, solitude
