12 the Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is a Major Arcana card in tarot, traditionally representing surrender, letting go, and gaining new perspectives. It depicts a man hanging upside down by one foot from a tree or a wooden frame.

Key meanings of The Hanged Man include:

1. **Sacrifice and Surrender**: It suggests that sometimes, personal sacrifice or a pause is necessary to move forward. Letting go of control can lead to deeper understanding.

2. **New Perspectives**: The upside-down position symbolizes viewing things from a different angle. It encourages looking at challenges or situations from a fresh perspective to gain insight.

3. **Pause and Reflection**: The Hanged Man often signals a period of waiting or delay, asking the individual to be patient and reflect rather than force progress.

4. **Spiritual Growth**: On a deeper level, it can represent spiritual awakening, personal transformation, or a higher level of consciousness.

11 Justice


Sorry I disappeared guys. Started a full time job. If it wasn't for Covid (just in time for my birfday Saturday) making me slow down today, I probably wouldn't even be working on this. 

I kinda wanted to show you what the set up will be like for the book. At least as of right now. Things may change over time and I'll probably add more of a description once the painting is finished. 



11 Justice:
The Fool learns justice prevails, rewarding for 'good' and punishing for 'evil.'

Positive Aspects: 
Balance, truth,justice
Negative Aspects: 
Unfairness, accusations

Affirmation:
Integrity and balance bring harmony to my life.

Justice holds a sword in her right hand (our left) and balances the scales on her left. She gives her honest assessment with our preconceived ideas. Open-mindedness to weight the pros and cons lead to fair decisions.
