“And then I saw a man in terrible suffering, hung by one leg, head downward, to a high tree.”
P. D. Ouspensky (1878–1947) Russian esotericist
Card XII : The Hanged Man http://www.sacred-texts.com/tarot/sot/sot23.htm <br class="br">The Symbolism of the Tarot (1913) <br class="br">Context: And then I saw a man in terrible suffering, hung by one leg, head downward, to a high tree. And I heard the voice: —<br>"Look! This is a man who saw Truth. Suffering awaits the man on earth, who finds the way to eternity and to the understanding of the Endless.<br>"He is still a man, but he already knows much of what is inaccessible even to Gods. And the incommensurableness of the small and the great in his soul constitutes his pain and his golgotha.<br>"In his own soul appears the gallows on which he hangs in suffering, feeling that he is indeed inverted.<br>"He chose this way himself.<br>"For this he went over a long road from trial to trial, from initiation to initiation, through failures and falls.<br>"And now he has found Truth and knows himself.<br>"He knows that it is he who stands before an altar with magic symbols, and reaches from earth to heaven; that he also walks on a dusty road under a scorching sun to a precipice where a crocodile awaits him; that he dwells with his mate in paradise under the shadow of a blessing genius; that he is chained to a black cube under the shadow of deceit; that he stands as a victor for a moment in an illusionary chariot drawn by sphinxes; and that with a lantern in bright sunshine, he seeks for Truth in a desert.<br>"Now he has found Her."
