The Hanged Man hangs suspended, upside-down, from the living World Tree which is rooted in the underworld and supporting the heavens.
He is hanging on the tree of his own will. His right foot is bound to the tree but his left foot remains free, bent at the knee. His arms are bent, with hands held behind his back. This is the card of ultimate surrender, of being suspended in time and of martyrdom and sacrifice to the greater good.
This is the archetype to meditate on to help break old patterns of behaviour and bad habits that restrict you.
