This card came up for me the other day in a daily reading. I've just finished my exams so naturally i'm ready for relaxing and quite contemplation and things standing still over the summer, the traditional meaning for the card.
In the Fant though, it doesnt really give me that sort of hope, the man looked really hanged, like DEAD. There was no hope of restful retreat , and i associate the hanged man with Odin hanging on the tree to receive the runes. True the Fant Hanged Man is truly a card of sacrifice, but it seems a very bleak, like rather than a willing sacrifice he had to give up his life rather relunctantly....
Any other thoughts? Why would Hertz design this card so dark? so bleak?
Blessings,
Sezo
