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.

Hello Luv!!! Bad result last night heh???? Anyway, I have sent scrapbook papers by rolling them up and putting them in a tube - depending on how thick your kitchen roll insides are these are quite useful to protect them a bit.. if you roll them tightly enough they won't get flattened...
Woohoo, thanks Georgina, they sound great, and I would be perfectly happy with Viv's idea of a tube, or you could even fold them if it's easier, as I will more than likely cut them up for a minibook anyway! thank you so much, I'll email you.
