hanged man

Noose's final victim

The hanged man is a tarot card depicting a figure suspended upside down by one foot, typically from a tree or wooden frame.

Despite the grim imagery, the card traditionally represents suspension, sacrifice, surrender, or gaining new perspective through stillness rather than death by hanging.

She drew the hanged man and took it as a sign to pause and reflect.
