Reversed Hermit with Eight of Swords – a toxic mix of self-deception and fear. The light of wisdom grows dim while the walls of swords close in. You're building your own prison out of illusions and self-imposed rules, losing track of what's actually blocking you versus what you think is in your way. There's always an escape route, but it's much harder to spot when you're stumbling around in the dark.
