Hanged One
I'm suddenly seized by desire for this deck... And most of the cards I've seen online look wonderful, I can even live with the 'least favorites' from a couple of posts back!
Except that Hanged One...
(seen in the first scan in this post here: http://www.tarotforum.net/showpost.php?p=2263780&postcount=24)
It makes me shudder every time I see it - it's like I can almost feel the noose around my own neck!
Plus, I have a thing about the Hanged Thingummy preferably being at least some sort of reversed - and certainly NOT hung by the neck (that made me trade the Legend, too).
(and I wasn't bothered by the Hanged Bunny in the Buckland Romani! Funny how that works)
Still, the other cards are so lovely...
I understand that what the book says about the card makes the Hanged One less shocking, but still; what if I were to use the deck to read for someone, and that card would come up?
It's funny, I can deal with very gruesome and bloody 10s of Swords, or Deaths etc, but this Hanged one....
Anyway, since I'm not sure if I want to post in the enable- or in the de-enable thread, I thought I'd post here.
Has anyone had this card come up in a reading they've done (for someone else)?
How did they respond?
