WHAT DOES THE HANGED MAN IN A TAROT SPREAD MEAN?
from:This is another card when it appears in a reading is likely to
leave the enquirer a little unsettled.
What does this strange image of a man hanging upside down by his
foot on the gallows mean?
Some are worried that it means something unpleasant is about to
happen or even that someone close may decide to take their own
life by hanging.
There is no need to be afraid of this card or indeed of any of
the others in a Tarot pack.
All Tarot cards are generally metaphorical in their meanings.
It may be a puzzle to work out what the meaning exactly is but
that is what the Tarot is about. It makes us think. It makes us
question our lives.
So if we study the image of a medieval character hanging by one
foot we might think that although he isn't comfortable in this
position, he isn't in any real danger either.
In Mythology this figure is said to represent the Norse God,
Odin, who was said to have hung from the World Tree for nine
days to gain entry into the underworld and learn the secret
meaning of the Rune stones.
In order to gain this knowledge for mankind he was said to have
wounded himself with his own spear and plucked out his own eye.
So the appearance of this card can call for some kind of
personal sacrifice for the greater good.
This may be time, energy, money or some other valuable.
It may be necessary for you to give one of these things up in
order to make progress in your life and gain some future benefit.
The Hanged Man may indicate that is also necessary for a drastic
change of perspective.
Let any problems or obstacles in your life become a challenge.
Let the difficulties you may face in the act of sacrifice build
your character.
This card deals with the long term and bigger picture.
It's about seeing the wider truth and going beyond petty
arguments with those around.
It goes beyond a need to be right at all times.
Remember the true sacrifice is made with no hope of gain or
desire.
