#THE HANGED ONE

Journaling about shame back on 7/7

THE HANGED ONE RX💡| Suspending our disbelief and allowing ourselves to open the mind & alter our consciousness is how The Hanged One thrives. In its reversed position, we can find ourselves being too literal & too rigid; unable to find the flow. This card’s reversal also speaks of bad trips; not allowing ourselves to lose control can put us in a bad way when experimenting with substances that make everything that much more integrated. Neptune serves to show us our potential when we step out of the limits of our rational mind and tap into a more imaginative space. It’s the planet of dreams, but also of nightmares and delusions. The Hanged One Rx also speaks to a state of mind that requires compassionate grounding; it serves no one to try to get yourself or others to *snap* out of a damaging mindset. It may come up in our readings when we’re in need of a reality check, or when we are not allowing ourselves to explore the limitless potential of the Universe.

Expertise can't help you here.

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Ok, ok I get it. Calm yo tits. There’s no need to take that tone with me, and there’s no need to scream at that volume 😳 The attitude 🤣 Major Arcana across the board 😳

Some cards I've pulled recently...

My opinion on the 'would modern au Harrow be goth or Catholic' debate is that she would be both and it would throw everyone off. She goes equally hard on both of those things and no one knows what to do about it.

Using Lo-fi Study Nights at Seacaster Manor as a way to boost his popularity and help further the goals of his friends while also refusing to acknowledge that the actual purpose is to never have to be alone in that big empty house is PEAK Fabian behavior. Can anyone hear me?? Lou I am in your WALLS

Cards for the day

Card of the day: the Hanged One

Bark of the hanging tree (what am I learning?): King of Cups / Silver Maple. Lol silver maples are literally associated with the element of water because of their sap. I love when playing card decks accidentally make sense within the tarot system

Letting go of: Change. Have I become addicted to my own emotional chaos? I think I want stability, and yet I get drunk on my own sap. Maybe it's easier to give up control to emotions than to hold responsibility for them. "The Beloved Dead of Change whispers, this too will pass."

Allies I am unaware of: Wheel of Fortune, 10 of Swords, King of Pentacles / Buffalo

Change sent me burrowing underground. So I can find stability again. This isn't a bad thing, it is just what I had to do. My higher self insisted I make tea this morning. I am trying to listen to myself more than the many energies that want to be expressed thru me. It's fucking hard

I wish I was a phat buffalo on the plain, unmovably large, emotionally sedate. They represent abundance, strength, and unity with their bodies providing multiple resources to plains tribes. Maybe my pain serves a purpose too.

Shit's not that serious: Joker & 3 of Cups

Am I allowed to have fun? Do I forgive myself yet for the times my cups drunkenly sloshed on people? Because holding onto shame doesn't help anyone heal

Danny: Hey, I need you to be my boyfriend for a week.

Jason: What.

Danny: My parents are coming over and I've apparently accidentally talked about a partner more than once and only realized when they said they wanted to meet them.

Jason, currently still solidifying his power as a Crime Lord: Excuse me?

Danny: Let me get this out of the way, I do not consider you at all a person of romantical interest and a friend. But I need you to act as my partner for only a week until my parents go on their merry way over to my sister, okay?

Jason: Is there, quite literally, no one else to ask this?

Danny: You're my only friend who lives in Gotham, plus we share the same apartment.

Jason: That's almost sad.

Danny: You in?

Jason: Sure, why not.

Maddie: Danny, honey.

Danny: Yes mom?

Maddie: I don't mean to.... question, who you choose as your parent but. Well, me and your father was just wandering if he was a... [Maddie gestures with her hand] you know, one of those.

Danny, uncomprehendingly staring at his mother's hand: What.

Maddie: Oh dear, how do I bring this up. You know, one of those.

Danny: Mother I need more context.

Jack: If your boyfriend a crime lord!?

Maddie: Jack!

Jack: What? Beating around the bush wasn't helping!

Danny: Say WHAT?

===

Danny: Hey dude, thanks for helping with this even though you didn't need to!

Jason: No problem, I wasn't doing anything too [Crime Lord activities flash through his mind] important.

Danny: Can you believe my parents thought you were a crime lord though? Weird am I right?

Jason:

Danny: Jason. You are scaring me.

Jason: Haha, yea that's weird isn't it?

Danny: Jason.

Jason: Well, I have to leave now to attend to my totally real and totally not crime related job at the ice cream shop.

Danny: [Squints eyes]

Jason: [Internally sweating bullets]

Danny: Suuuuure, bring me back some ice cream though.

Jason: [Thumbs up and leaves]

So one thing I’ve noticed is that people’s DnD characters may vary but there is usually an underlying thread that they all have in common. This thread is typically related to what that person struggles with the most.

For instance, my betrotheds DnD characters: a bitchy warlock we had to bust out of two different pacts, a sassy barbarian, a reformed drow cultist, and a sunshine fighter cleric.

All these characters were wildly different but at their very core struggle was them grappling with their self worth. My betrothed struggles with their worth a great deal and even with different facets showing their characters all have that too.

Mine all tend to contend with different themes of loneliness and acceptance. Surprise, surprise, the little autistic gremlin yearns to have been met with more love and lasting friendships.

So we’re at breakfast. I am meeting a new friend of my betrotheds for the first time. It’s been twenty minutes since I’ve met this man. I say my theory. He laughs. He starts to describe a few of his characters but specifies that he often has healing aspects. He gives a very broad overview of their character arcs.

I ponder for a moment then said, “Would you like to have my assessment?”

He laughed, “Sure!”

“We’ve just met. It’s gonna get real.”

“Bring it on.”

“I think your struggle is that you feel you must offer something of value or service to people to be worthy of their love.”

His jaw dropped. His fork froze midway to his mouth. A potato fell. He stared into space as this sank in. Quietly he said, “Oh.”
