What does the Hanged Man Tarot Card

Getting to the discussion of the twelfth Arkan I hasten to note that this is one of the most dangerous and regressive What is an archetype. Power which unfortunately is still great. At last eon, this represents the archetype of what had a positive value and represents the spiritual initiation, but now, as Crowley wrote: "under the authority of the Fire lord Zone, a water element (when it comes to water under the Abyss), definitely hostile, unless the contrary is not right opposite, implying the wedding. But this map is the only question - "Atonement" sunk element, and therefore all reversed. This idea of the victim, subjected to final analysis, is false, we can assume this character an evil legacy of the old area. " A young man with closed eyes hangs over the waters. He was hanged for the heel to the coiled snake, and the waters over which it hangs, just teeming with snakes. Head of the snake literally rests in his heel, so you'd think she would bite. At the uppermost point of the map shows the ankh, the symbol of eternal life. Must very carefully examine every element of this card in order to understand the essence of what represents an archetype, which is represented on this map. First of all, it is a direct allusion to the idea of the crucifixion, and the Christian ideal of suffering and humility as such. According to legend, the apostle Peter asked his captors hung him upside down, so that death will not be compared to their god. This ideal has dominated the last eon, and in principle was a necessary compensation, the brutal mores that prevailed then. But now, as we have Crowley writes: "The main purpose of the wise must be deliverance of humanity from this arrogance of self-sacrifice, from the scourge of chastity, faith must kill confidence, chastity should die of ecstasy."

Recall that a "hung" like any What does the archetype presented in a large Arkan e is not a reflection of one idea, and the source, emanating a certain set of ideas, at first glance unrelated to each other. That's the definition these arhitepicheskih ideas we are going to do. The first thing worth noting is the closed eyes of young men hanged. Closed eyes are traditionally a symbol of ignorance, unconsciousness, immersion in an illusion, and no real knowledge of themselves and the world. Can cause a huge amount of mythological and literary parallels, confirming this obvious conclusion. It is appropriate to recall that Jung considered the worst sin of modern man of his unconsciousness. 

This unconscious, not in any case should not be confused as to dosoznatelnymi What does the archetypes represented by the first four What does the archetypes, and with superhuman level of consciousness when subjected to such a radical transformation that can be said, though in the usual understanding of consciousness is not (20 Arkan - eon). Y "hanged" we are talking about, sorry for the taftalogiyu, conscious rejection of consciousness, according to the principle, "I do not want to know." As an example, can be reduced motivation traitor in the first part of the "matrix", which here is one of the images arhitepicheskogo Judah, as well as the fact that in the stocks of the past, hanging was associated not only with Christ but also with the already mentioned Judas, and their hidden identity is one of the Gnostic mysteries.

Lack of awareness means the domination of the instincts and emotions. The motto of this type may be the phrase "emotionally - so true." In order to better understand what is meant, I would recommend re-read those chapters of the novel by Milan Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness of Being", which refers to the Quiche. Let me remind you that the final determination of kitsch - this Kundera: "The unlimited despotism feelings." In terms of Thelema, we can say that we are talking about the love that will not controllable. Emotions are traditionally correlated with the elements of water, I think this fact is no one cause objections. With the elements of water and this correlates Arkan, which fully confirms our hypothesis - is the letter meme, maternal water. As we know water can be, the noble waters of baptism and purification (Arcane 17), the dynamic flow of life (Arkan 7). It also refers to the stagnant, swampy waters.

Psychoanalysts have long been tied universal motif hanging on the tree (in the form of Prometheus to the rock), with labor issues, the fetus and umbilical cord. Of course, too konkretistkoe explanation of psychoanalysis is difficult to recognize exhaustive, but it certainly has its symbolic truth. Thus, Arkan was hanged, may be related to able to call in psychoanalysis "Oedipus complex", when the ego is unable to break the psychological umbilical cord is tied to the mother, and has a suspended between childhood and adulthood. That's what this account wrote Jung: "The neurotic rejects full of erotic feelings in order to remain forever a child of his mother." According to Jung the Oedipus complex, it is not the biological and psychological phenomenon, caused by fear of life, an escape from the formation of personality ago in the womb. I venture to suggest that Dion Fortune, claiming that "He who began his spiritual journey ahead of time and does not draw all the lessons his way no matter in Kether, and Klipot.
