12 The Hanged Man

Click on the card for more info.

The Dream  
Under a calm, blue sky and above the radiant, flowering Earth, a man hangs upside down, suspended by one foot from the tail of a dragonfly. The dragonfly emphasizes that this scene is not one of torture, but a part of a natural process. The young man's life is in limbo, but his face shows only acceptance and absolute faith at this moment of total surrender to a higher force. He seems to be listening to an inner voice. He may be looking for an answer that is the complete opposite to all he has previously believed. Perhaps he has deliberately sacrificed himself to attain some desired goal. He could be in a trance, or in a state of illumination as a result of the increased blood flowing to his head. In any case, the pattern of his everyday life has been reversed and a new outlook is demanded. The water flowing beneath him symbolizes that the young man has risen above emotional turmoil to accept this suspension of his usual way of life. The enforced waiting period may be viewed as a way of gaining a new perspective.

The Awakening  
A new way of looking at things is needed. This period may seem restrictive but you are being forced to become more introspective, to listen to your higher mind. Waiting has its place in any plan. Try not to become a martyr, but do not be afraid to make sacrifices or be unwilling to adapt to changing circumstances. If you feel powerless, blocked, or stuck in a rut, you must "lift yourself up by your own bootstraps."

The Enchantment  
The word "yoga" means union. Advanced students know the power of upside-down postures. Try "The Bow": Lie face down on a rug. Let your belly relax. Reach behind with both hands to grasp both ankles gently. Exhale. Slowly raise your trunk and legs at the same time. Hang as you breathe in this position for fifteen seconds. It will reverse your focus, directing inward your mind and your energy.

Always perform our Enchantments in a safe manner. Use caution with scissors and all sharp objects. All candles and all fires should only be lit in well ventilated areas and in appropriately strong and fireproof metal or ceramic containers that are stable and have walls to prevent sparks from leaping out. Never leave a candle or fire burning unattended.
