The hermit reckons these pages are just about the hardest thing to write on a personal website. He could come off sounding way more smartarsed than he is (that would be hard), or arrogant, or self-centered, or self-absorbed — or all of them. To avoid that, he keeps this page as short as possible, just giving you some basic information.

What is a ‘Eremit’?

Hermit (noun, masculine, german: Eremit)

A hermit (old greek ερημιτης, eremites, from old greek ερημος, eremos, signifying ‘desert’, ‘unhabited’, hence ‘desert dweller’) is a person who lives to some greater or lesser degree in seclusion and/or isolation from society.

In Christianity the term was originally applied to a Christian who lives the eremitic life out of a religious conviction, namely the Desert Theology of the Old Testament (i.e. the forty years wandering in the desert that was meant to bring about a change of heart).

Often – both in religious and secular literature — the term “hermit” is used loosely for anyone living a solitary life-style — including the misanthrope — and in religious contexts is sometimes assumed to be interchangeable with anchorite / anchoress (from the Greek ἀναχωρέω anachōreō, signifying “to withdraw”, “to depart into the country outside the circumvallated city”), recluse and solitary. However, it is important to retain a clear distinction between the vocation of hermits and that of anchorites.

During the Romantic period of the 19th century some wealthy estate owners would pay imitation “hermits” to inhabit their properties, as living garden decorations.

Hermit as well as ascetics, confessors, martyrs have been often canonized in the middle ages.
