Seal of Nature 2018
Here are all the seal clues. I put the full answer messages into the first clue for posterity. Enjoy!
You lift a golden tarot card depicting the Hermit to your face and run your thumb over its smooth and glossy surface. Black-blue hoarfrost spreads across the image, biting into your skin and radiating outwards from your touch to corrupt the card.
As the frost fades, the background of the card about the Hermit stands out in sharp relief:
Decay everywhere you look, an estate abandoned, the ceiling has been brought down.
[spoiler]
Before a wall of earth.
You see a single exit leading east.

You reach out and touch a golden tarot card depicting the Hermit.
The area fills with mist as an uncomfortable chill creeps in, obscuring your immediate surroundings from view.
The mists cling to the ground possessively, exploring every nook and cranny. Just as the world is about to be lulled away by the eternal chill, sunshine fills the area, suffusing it with warmth and vibrancy as life triumphs over the touch of the Void.

Comments
palm trees bend over an ancient mosaic of purple inscriptions, the sand cleared away from the stone.
[spoiler]A strange mosaic.
Palm trees form an outer circle around this area, cutting it off but leaving the inside undisturbed. A large slate lies in the dust of the soil here, untouched by time or mortal machinations. Deep purple whorls dance about the slab of stone, intermingling with violet flares and mauve inscriptions. Similarly coloured veins of sand extend from the stone into the ground. Small bugs scuttle about, but they do not tread upon the stone, steering away with a care eerily reminiscent of reverence.
