Tarot Meaning of the Hanged Man by littleneptune
Hi everyone! I derive a lot of my major arcana meanings from the historical 'root' meanings and their names, but I'm wondering about the Hanged Man card
I can see where the concept of suspension comes from (the suspended figure) and the notion of sacrifice (inverted Christ figure), but from what I understand, the original meaning of the card referred to punishment of criminals
I never see 'punishment' mentioned as a possible meaning for the Hanged Man
What happened to this meaning for the card?
