According to Google, “The Hanged Man is the card that suggests ultimate surrender, sacrifice, or being suspended in time.”

However, tarot is not just about regurgitating card meanings. Most of the time, if you take a moment, you can figure out exactly what the card is trying to tell you with your intuition.

To give you an idea of just how much you can get from the card and your intuition, check out the poem below. It might be exactly what you needed to see.

An Intuitive Poem — The Hanged Man

Oh, woe is me.

I’ve given all of myself,

and now, my sight,

but I can see.

Surrender.

With it brings no comfort,

only vulnerability

and maybe pain.

Surrender.

With it comes great healing,

magic, and, most notably,

mindful clarity.

Surrender. Leave me be.

For only pushing past

everything I know

will bring me what I need.

Surrender.

I close my eyes

and wait for everything

to fade.

Surrender.

Only after I am

stripped of myself

can I truly become…me.

Oh, woe is me.

I’ve given all of myself,

and now, my sight,

but I can see.

A Final Note

As many have said before me, take what resonates and leave the rest. Remember, trust your intuition — it knows far more than we like to admit!
