About Me |
|
| The Munsters .. Add to My Profile | More Videos I look hard for the beautiful in the ugly--the swaggering ballet of the homeless, the confectionary flow of sidewalk urine, the shining micro-cityscape of piling refuse--and so on. To see poetry in the everyday, in the struggle, in the triumph, in the loneliness of simple existence, in the natural composition of the frozen moment which echoes each breath,--that is the true caretaker of my own contentment. I enjoy the stimulation of thoughtful argument, the challenge of philosophical contemplation, the posturing of socio-political discourse and when (often, perhaps) that fails and the whiskey is driving through the veins, and decades of thunderous music pounds between my temples, a little brawling replaces any textbook for lower learning. A trainwreck in a cemetary is the timely irony that I seek to emulate. |

You are the Hanged ManSelf-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound. With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain. The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes. The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights. What Tarot Card are You? |
