The
Hanged Man
A figure is kneeling over a toilet bowl into which
he is being sick. In his hand he holds a glass.
Is it water to cleanse his body, or alcohol to propel
him further into intoxication? His face is not visible
and therefore we can not gauge if he is suffering
or revelling in the purging of his digestive system.
Why would some one drink to the point of being sick?
The card is one of mystery. The Hanged Man finds
pleasure in reaching this state of intoxication;
he has a taste for what normality brands as distasteful.
Dignified: The sacrifice of present
attitudes for the benefit of future gain. The road
ahead may be one of uncertainty but go with the
flow and life will find its own path. Below you
lies discarded waste, in you hand is the key to
progress, and above you lies the unknown. Suspend
your judgement to follow your gut instincts, drink
from the glass and embrace what the future has to
offer.
Ill dignified: Your own self-obsession
and self-indulgence have brought you to this place.
The Hanged Mans face may be hidden but it is not
hiding his discomfort. He fears to look up for he
knows not what he will see. Too much too drink and
all you'll be seeing tonight is the toilet bowl
and your stomach contents.
