Oh, the wikipedia quote above about the card “the hanged man” misses that card’s point somewhat, well, to give my honest opinion, it is sort of rubbish. Go to aeclectic.net for knowledge of the tarot – they summarize the card:

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death.

You see the hanged/hanging man is still alive, trapped by a hunters game snare, hanging upside down by his foot. it is more “he left me hanging there” than “hang till he is dead” – more Odin story than Osiris. My shorthand for this card is “life in suspension”

Very interesting stuff, I found your prognostication site from the log files of my prognostication site. In which book(s) do we encounter the card, the Hanged Man and the games of hangman? I have some thinking growing up around tarot cards and this is one of them, now I am reminded of reading it but don’t recall in which book.

Just got back from amazon.com and they’ve just posted a RELEASE DATE for HPDH. It’s March 31, 2007. (Hardcover).

It’s still not available for preorder yet but I’m on their alert list for when it is.
