to put my thoughts and inspirations
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.

Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. Sorry you wre unable to email me, - this is my email:

Anyway,as to your question re the Nicecrane images, I just open an image or in this case a whole sheet of them in my photo editing program, I use Photoshop elements, but any program will do exactly the same, if it's a single image, I re-size it to the size I want it, if it's a sheet I just print the whole sheet. I use my printer's best settings though, and smooth paper or thin card, that's all there is to it. I don't understand why yours turned out like that, as they are all high resolution images. If you still have problems, email me and I will give you the designer's email and you can email him directly.
Hello my lovely, great to hear from you. Hope you are well. Hugs Cindy
