Tarot by HH
There is a bar in a near-by town called the Hanged Man compete with a Marseille-like rendition of the "Il Traditore"
I have only been in there once, and only briefly, but the criminal aspect was readily apparent! I often *see* the card indicating that someone need to turn themself around; change their behaviour or their mindset
On more than one occassion I have seen the card (twice recently in conjunction with 7-Swords) indicative of criminal activity
Some of the antique decks show pieces of silver or a money bag with the figure, referring to Judas Iscariot and his act of betrayal Judas was The Traitor in Medieval and Renaissance thinking
Judas did not hang himself in a flyflot position, but he did hang
I recently saw some small reproductions of Medieval Shame paintings
No wonder the family and friends of criminals were ready to surrender the criminals to the law! The card also speaks to traitorous interpersonal conundrums and to traitorous emotions as well as those times when we are at our worst regarding health
Now! Have I succeeded in muddying the waters sufficiently?
It's in the cards! HH
