The Hanged Man is Odin hanging on Yggdrasil
Odin is a major inspiration behind my IMTarot deck. Odin’s hanging on Yggdrasil, the World Tree (the mind) is a powerful symbol that resonates with the imagery of the Hanged Man tarot card. I have written extensively about Odin in this article here.
The story about Odin is also a story about salvation. You can read about Norse Salvation here.
Pinocchio Is the same story as Odin hanging on Yggdrasil
I have proven that Odin’s true meaning is the Pineal Gland and the Union with Source energy. Pinocchio is the same story as when Odin hung on Yggdrasil and became one with Source. Pinocchio’s name means Pineal Nut. He is not awaken in the beginning of the story. He is a wooden figure. He gets himself into quite a lot of trouble and ends up bound up to an Oak tree. He is rescued by the blue fairy. Odin hangs on Yggdrasil and is ‘rescued’ by the Norns at the well of wisdom. The blue fairy tries to teach Pinocchio to be conscientious (gain wisdom). Pinocchio tries his best. He works hard at school and he even works in the theatre. But in the end he turns into a donkey. The less flattering form is a symbolism also seen in the Beauty and the Beast which essentially is the Strength card. You can read all about it here. When his employer at the theatre sees he is a donkey, Pinocchio gets discarded into the Ocean. This is similar to when Odin receives the water in the well (Source). When Pinocchio is in the Ocean (Source) he is eaten by a whale. Inside the whale, he sees Papa who has been searching for him. Pinocchio finally realises how much he loves Papa. He finds his courages and manages to escape the whale with Papa. He swims them both to shore in a heroic act of pure love. This act is so pure that the blue fairy turns him into a real boy. Similarly, Odin receives the Runes (divine secrets) from the Norns and he becomes a magical being. In beauty and the beast, Belle finds her heart, the beast transforms and they are on the infinite timeline. These old stories are connected to the Vision Quest and speaks about our true connection to Source. The Hanged Man speaks of when we become so still that we experience this Divine Union.

This could manifest as physical distance, mismatched schedules, or even a need for solitude to focus on personal growth. This detachment offers an invitation to pause and reflect rather than push for resolution.
The Seeker’s surrender leads to new insights about what they need deep down. This shift in perspective can illuminate the areas where growth is needed, both within themselves and within a partnership. It’s a call to embrace stillness and trust that clarity will emerge from this pause.
