What Tarot Card are You?

[Dave Monroe]

You are the Hanged Man

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.
