Odin hung upside down for a tree for nine days in a state of, literal, spiritual suspension, all the while seeking enlightenment.

I’ve just been unwell for a week. Not quite the same, but it’ll do.

Anyhow, today is Ragnarok, the Viking end-of-the-world.

As good a day as any for a fresh start.

nb: the hanged man doesn’t necessarily indicate spiritual growth, sometimes it just suggests an acceptance of how things are – the acquiring of some sort of balance. 

post script: hung around waiting for the worm, the wolves, the berserkers and the gods to appear… and nothing.
