My Secret Place

Hi all, this is my titchy little card for Tuesday Taggers this week,the theme is deck the halls with boughs of holly, no boughs but lots of holly on the background and i die cut the holly embellishment and stickled the berries, added one of my favourite santas and hey presto a card.Today is my 42nd wedding anniversary, how good is that?

The prize this week is the wonderful compo. stamps from Lovin Ink, so cool!!!

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
