Whose Spirit Shines Brightest? Lets unpack this messy business. Shall we?
In the dusty annals of the ages, while the Hermit quietly contemplated in meditation about the cosmos from his lonely cave (probably complaining about the lack of decent Wi-Fi), the Hierophant was busy anointing kings and enforcing doctrines from his gilded throne.
Oh yes, the Hermit, bless his simple soul, probably considered a patched robe high fashion while communing with the Almighty. Meanwhile, the Hierophant was likely tripping over his gold-embroidered robes, busy blessing the latest tax increase and ensuring everyone knew exactly who was boss and divinely appointed to tell them what to do.
Winner? Depends if you think enlightenment comes from within or from a really impressive bling-bling hat.
