What is Your World View?
created with QuizFarm.com

I'd like to meet:

The fallen. People like Jimi, my dad Walter, Hetfield before the black album. It would be bad-ass if I could meet a pre-Columbus ancestor. Even better if I could visit those times. But besides all that, and despite my apparent anti-social behavior, I like people. Usually. I am a loyal friend to those worthy of such friendship. I appreciate real genuine people who are not judgemental and narrow-minded.

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.
