Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is.
Go hungry; keep your existence lean.
Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it's all about.
The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of.
If you're never tested, you'll never define your character.
What card am I?

I have to say I'm glad you haven't guessed it yet. :)
BUT..... I don't want it to get that far where a 'list' has to be made. :(
I have a feeling it won't....it's a pretty easy one. :)

The Magician!
He would be able to get by with less stuff, since he has the power to create and improvise.

Strength....?
There is a definite need to draw on reserves in this passage I feel.

How could you JM!! :(
All good answers...I think the couple in 5/Discs have maybe already taken on what the passage suggests. After all, they could be seen as walking away from offer of help.
Also Strength is another I thought would fit, but sadly, still not the right answer.

Kissa.....Henry Rollison wrote the words, but I have no idea where the passage comes from. Thanks for reminding me. :)

Sorry Kim.....the card I have in mind is more to do with spiritual awareness. Or should I say...the search for it?

The Hanged Man?

JEWEL- RY YES!!! THE HANGED MAN IT IS!!!
There are those that feel the image of the Hanged man is that of the shamanic god Odin. He, allegedly, put himself through a gruesome ordeal. Not only did he wound himself in the side with a spear, but then hung from the World-Tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights without food or water. This was in order for him to understand the secrets of the Runes.
This is about working towards spiritual enlightenment.
There are things we need to see and experience in a different way before we are able to understand what it is we are about. You know, how we ‘fit in’ and ‘operate’ in the great cosmos!
Over to you Jewel-ry!
