The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man represents a time of surrender and letting go of control. This card encourages trusting the flow of events and having faith in the universe's plan. When reversed, it indicates resistance to necessary decisions and disconnection from inner instincts. The key lesson is learning to embrace uncertainty and trust in one's inner wisdom.

Upright Meaning
A young man hangs from a tree, suspended by his leg above a group of sleeping wolves. The Hanged Man has surrendered himself to the mercy of the situation. He smiles despite the discomfort of his position and the danger he faces. His body could be torn apart by the monsters' teeth if they awaken, but he hangs calmly. If you draw The Hanged Man, it means it's time to go with the flow. Release the reins and trust the stream of events around you. This is not the time to fight for control over the situation. Trust the Universe, be at peace. Believe in yourself.
Reversed Meaning
You are desperately refusing to make a decision that must be made. In doing so, you are only delaying the inevitable. If this Arcanum appears reversed, it indicates that you are not at peace with yourself or have lost faith in your inner instincts. Life continues when you manage to overcome internal resistance.
