XII. The Hanged ManThoth Tarot Tarot Meaning
Number: Atu 12 · Arcana: Major Arcana
- Surrender
- New Perspective
- Pause
- Letting Go
- Enlightenment
Upright meaning
Redemption bought through sacrifice — real, enforced suffering, tipping into punishment, loss, defeat, and failure when the sacrifice goes unrewarded.
Reversals in this deck
The Thoth tradition does not read reversed cards. Crowley's system judges a card as well- or ill-dignified from the cards around it and its elemental dignities, so every card here is read upright.
