Hermit is out at night with a big heavy lamp looking for travelers who can use the warm bed and good meal he has to offer them back at the hermitage. He is a service monk. His clothes identify him as a doctor.
Moon is trouble. It’s another card Tarot Verbatim is heretic about because Tarot Verbatim reads the scene on the card literally, and this scene is a humdinger. It’s the address of Hades, the god of the underworld. The two towers are landmarks to it, as well as to the edge of the flat earth where you fall off and are never seen again, and also where ‘the dragons that be’ live.
