The Hanged Man

I am not a huge new agey kind of guy but I do read tarot occasionally and I was kept up all last night with dreams about the book release on Sunday. The thought of this image taken by my dear friend Noah J. Ehlert made me think of the hanged man. So I doctored it up a little and whattya know! Worth a share:)

The Hanged Man: Symbolism 

letting go

having an emotional release
accepting what is
surrendering to experience
ending the struggle
being vulnerable and open
giving up control
accepting God's will

reversing

turning the world around
changing your mind
overturning old priorities
seeing from a new angle
upending the old order
doing an about-face

suspending action

pausing to reflect
feeling outside of time
taking time to just be
giving up urgency
living in the moment
waiting for the best opportunity

sacrificing

being a martyr
renouncing a claim
putting self-interest aside
going one step back to go two steps forward
giving up for a higher cause
putting others first
