Her take
The Hermit climbed up there on purpose. Look at the lantern: he shines it into all the dark corners of his mind and heart, checking what got locked away years ago and never reexamined.
The rest of her read
Where The Hermit lands on the Fool's Journey, what its number does to a spread, how it reads next to another Major versus next to a court card, and what changes when it shows up upside down. Every one of the 78 has this, written once, in her voice.

The teaching
When it lands reversed
This is the library entry, the card on its own. In a reading she reads The Hermit against the cards around it, its position, and your question, and that's where the actual story turns up. No card means one thing every time.
