Description: The Hanged Man is suspended by the foot from a gallows made from a T shaped cross of living wood (The Tau Cross). His arms, folded behind his back, together with his head, form a triangle with the point downward, while his legs form a cross.

The geometrical figure concealed here is that of a cross surmounting a water triangle. There is a nimbus of shining energy around his head, and his face shows an expression of deep entrancement rather than suffering.

The Hanged Man represents the reversal of the mind rather than of the body. A silent and unobtrusive reversal of one's way of life, combined with a living tolerance of the ways of other people, is the aim of the practical spiritual seeker.

Divinatory Meaning: Shows that surrender to a higher power causes a reversal in one's way of life. In spiritual matters, it brings wisdom, prophetic power, self-sacrifice. May also mean suspended decisions, a pause of some kind in one's life.

Reversed: Being absorbed in physical matters. A pre-occupation with the ego. Resistance to spiritual influences, arrogance. False prophecy.
