Doublet Fortune Hanged Hose Marseille Marseilles Pendu Rope Tarot Telling Upside Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Pendu," or The Hanged Man, is the twelfth card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck. This intriguing and enigmatic card depicts a man, dressed in a medieval doublet and hose, suspended upside down from a tree by a noose around his neck. His legs are crossed in a lotus position, and his arms are bound behind his back, creating an image of surrender and sacrifice. The historical origins of this card are unclear, but it is believed to represent various themes, including renewal, sacrifice, and transformation. In the context of a Tarot reading, The Hanged Man can indicate a need to let go of old patterns, to surrender to a situation, or to gain a new perspective on a situation. The image of The Hanged Man is often associated with the Marseille Tarot deck, which originated in France in the late 16th or early 17th century. The Marseille Tarot is known for its distinctive style, which features detailed, hand-painted illustrations on heavy, uncut sheets of paper. This particular print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the rich history and intricate details of the Marseille Tarot. Despite its ominous appearance, The Hanged Man is not a card of death or misfortune. Instead, it is a reminder to embrace change and to find the hidden opportunities that may be present in difficult situations. The card invites us to look at things from a new perspective, to let go of our attachments, and to trust that the universe has a plan for us. The image of The Hanged Man has captivated people for centuries, and continues to be a popular subject in the world of Tarot and paranormal studies. This print, with its stunning detail and historical significance, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Tarot and the mysteries of the human psyche.
