What is interesting about the Hermit, in it's symbolism. We see the star of David in the lamp. His wand is yellow. Gold is portrayed by Yellow. Therefore, consider he is guided by the brilliance, and rest upon his "Faith" or God. Strength (8), is one of the three Virtues contained in the second set of seven cards as seen in RW. In Christian terms, it would refer to their "Faith". In being number Nine, we see completion. Attainment is achieved in the tens.
I'm not sure, but can recollect that Christ was born under the tribe of Judah, which was also that of King David? Please correct me if I'm wrong! Therefore your association with him being a disciple of Christ is probable!!
In another way, we know that Christ is also named "King of Kings", in Tarot it would mean, The Emperor, as he has conquered Kingdoms, and rule Kings. Dionyssus and Zoroaster who lived thousands of years before the Christian has even been thought of, classified and developed the hierarchy of choirs among the Angels. Here we find Kings, Princess...etc, every planet has it's King and other dignatories.
I will, once done with the deck, compile a doc, and host on Google, of how the angels fit together!
Blessed be.
Ps. Have a good look at the Masonic Alchemical Orouboros!!!!! We see the Star of David.
Lion of the Tribe of Judah
(See Lion's Paw.) Symbol of the Messiah, which can have different names for brethren of different religions. Judah was symbolized as a lion in his father's deathbed blessing. The lion was upon the standard of the large and powerful tribe of Judah. "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" was one of Solomon's titles. Christian interpretation of the phrase springs from Revelation (V: 5), "Behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof." The idea of a resurrection is curiously interwoven with the lion in all ages and was connected with resurrection long before the Man of Galilee walked upon the earth. In ancient Egypt, a lion raised Osiris from a dead level to a living perpendicular by a grip of his paw; Egyptian carvings show a figure standing behind the Altar, observing the raising of the dead, with its left arm raised, forming the angle of a square. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, considered as signifying a coming redeemer who would spring from the tribe, or meaning the King of Israel who built the Temple, or symbolizing the Christ, must not be confused with a mode of recognition.
And now I've stumbled across another very interesting reference. This pertains to the Fool and I will post this discovery on that Thread, WOW!!!!!
I truly thank-you for your posting, MY, MY....... I will always learn!!
Bless you!

. These five numbers are different letters and creates an opportunity to expand on matters within, but beyond the Cosmic as we have it now. I consider them to be in the spiritual realm, beyond Tau/Tav---Cross---Christ----Odin?????
