You are the Hanged Man

Self-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.

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

That's a good one!

I haven't done this meme, because I'm afraid this is the card I will get. O_o

What, the Hanged Man? I haven't always gotten this one. It does seem to fit my current phase of life--sort of. Things aren't that grim.

Huh, I was wrong.

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Not bad!

I avoid this meme generally because I often end up with a card I can't stand. This time I tweaked my answers a little and ended up with one I like much better.

I like the hanged man as a card.

I think I once got the Tower.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

I got that as the final card in a spread once, but not in this meme. Generally, I get the Moon or the High Priestess.

I usually get the Moon or the High Priestess, but I was in a Mood when I did it this time, hence...

Though the Hanged Man is about deep knowledge, so that's not a bad thing.
