For today’s card I have drawn The Hanged Man
from the Universal Waite. I particularly like this depiction because the man
looks quite relaxed in this awkward situation. He has a halo for enlightenment
which is a symbol of The Hanged Man I don’t find in many of the other decks I
have.
The Hanged
Man is the archetype of the victim. There is a standstill and there is no room
for change or action. Life is put on hold and mostly it is involuntary but
sometimes we can welcome it. Who hasn't been in a difficult situation when
suddenly you were “rescued” by the flu or a heavy snow fall
More often
though we have to accept the situation and know we just have to wait it out.
Rain, floods, boring family dinners, a broken leg; you name it.
But
sometimes when you are in The Hanged Man position you can be surprised by an unexpected insight
or idea. Because the situation at hand is different than we are used to we tend
to see things from a different perspective. Priorities can shift overnight,
spiritual beliefs may change rapidly.
Today I
have to go to the dentist and when the chair is reclined, I feel like the Hanged
man with my mouth wide open at the dentists mercy. I wonder if this visit will bring me some
halo thoughts.
If he gives you any "happy gas" there's no telling what thoughts you may have! :D Hope things go as smoothly, quickly (and painlessly) as possible.
ReplyDeleteWe don't use happy gas only local anesthesia :)
DeleteEverything went well so the halo must be made of my happy and relieved feelings.
Glad to know that your visit went well regarding your visit to the dentist, Ellen. Being anxious is a common feeling for a lot of people as well as kids before seeing the dentist. What I would usually do is try to calm and relax myself before going on an appointment. Good day! :)

Thank you for stopping by. Never thought I would get a comment from a real dentist.Relaxing before I going is still hard. but I am not the anxious as I used to be anymore.
