The Hanged Man | Tarot

This extraordinary symbol is almost unintelligible in the double-headed cards. Properly, it represents a man hung head downwards from a sort of gibbet by one foot (his hands are bound behind his back in such a manner that his body forms a triangle with the point downwards), and his legs a cross above it. (Two sacks or weights are attached to his armpits.) He symbolises Sacrifice.

The Hanged Man

upright meaning:

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound

Selfishness, Unbound, Partial sacrifice.
