The Hanging Man, XII

The Tarot Hanging Man is about surrendering the pursuit of material wants and gain and redirecting your footsteps toward God. When you suspend yourself from the way you think things should be or want them to be, you'll be able to see how you've been making useless sacrifices. These sacrifices are not necessarily huge ones, like Jesus dying on the cross. They can be other things, like spending time and money trying to achieve or maintain the status quo. Pausing to meditate on your relationship with God can help you gain perspective and clarify your priorities. In other words, it's time to crucify the ego.

 

Keywords: Sacrifice, surrender, limbo, seeing with God's perspective, principles, acquired wisdom, hanging in there, and, when reversed, martyrdom or useless sacrifice

John 12:24 – Unless a grain of wheat falls… it remains alone.
