Hanged Man Tarot Card, Hunting Ground Of The Paradoxical Bat
Hanged Man Tarot Card
The Major Arcana tarot card, The Hanged Man, represents a world where consciousness is given up to sleep and our nocturnal eidolon, in the image of a bat, is released to hunt through our dreams. Here is where the waking mind sacrifices its sense of self-identity to the paradoxical bat so it will be free to roam.
This path corresponds to the element of water related to the powerful Plutonian depths of our subconscious minds, where contact is established with other dimensional entities.
Because our traditional concepts of language are not understood by the beings we encounter at these depths, we are compelled to seek out new and diverse methods of communication as outlined in Dream Linguistics.
Here, Poseidon rules, and it is wise for us to remember his title of Earth Shaker because of his role in creating earthquakes, which was the possible cause for the destruction of Troy.
His title illustrates the impact this realm can inflict on our everyday lives.
