I tried to do something a bit less gruesome for this card, but I just couldn't bring myself to change the idea that first came to me. This card matches with the Death card that comes right after it (https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1216974/death-tarot-card). While Death is about transformation, the Hanged Man is about sacrifice and surrender. Several years ago I experienced a lot of loss, and during that time I did a lot of reflecting on death, and I learned to see that it could also be beneficial and even beautiful, despite being scary and sad.
