Which Tarot Card are You?

[Dave Monroe]

You are the Hanged Man (Hanging Ghost)

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of
fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear
of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in
the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered
himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge.
Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given
no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last
day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from
the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down,
scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be
found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about
suspension, not life or death. It signifies
selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make
yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain
illumination. You see the world differently, with
almost mystical insights.
