I do recall that it reminded me of Legba in an impatient way, as it were. Cusp. Moment of decision and know that you have to give up the easy path.<br/><br/>If I were to guess about a person's views based on it being the card they identified with I'd sort of assume that they viewed their life as an uphill slog that demanded constant reinvention.<br/><br/>What I was getting at before was more to do with its popularity. The cards one usually sees (in my experience) people attaching are things like death, the devil, the tower, strength based on rule of cool. And of course the various minor royalty. The hanged man doesn't follow the rule of cool thing, I've never heard someone lay claim to it as 'their card' before. :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Heh. Rule of cool can go bugger off in some dark corner. I personally hate anyone that latches onto things for no other reason than "coolness". It feels incredibly shallow.<br/><br/>Hanged Man is a good representation of my life, at least, the last two years or so; and probably for the rest of this year, too. I've also adopted it because it indicates a change in perspective. I have always been told by others that my perception of things is quite unique; the hanged man card reflects that, in that, depending on the deck, it's typically the only card where right side up is upside down.
