| Odin sees the runes scattered on the ground and gains knowledge from his sacrifice. To me, one meaning of The Hanged Man card is liminality, a state integral to the Art. As a significator, it shows the querent sees the world differently than most. You can see why I asked him, right? Who better to represent this Trump? |
There are not many people who would dangle upside down for me. In an isolated park. In winter. By a slender chain around one ankle. Smiling.
But Ryan did. The man who would demand to have his photo taken. A colleague whose heart was as big as his ego. One of my only confidants.
My friend passed through the veil this week and is mourned by many. He helped me heal my broken wing, and I've spent the past few days trying to honour his memory and bumbling through the rest of my life. (What the hell am I going to do with this much chicken vindaloo, boyo?)
I haven't taken any recent photos of Ryan, but these are my favourites from a time when we lived in the same city. I can be picky with my memories and my rituals to honour you, Ryzil. Because I still can't get into My Little Pony. I am glad you found happiness and sorry I never made that trip to visit you in your new home city to meet your beloved.
Here's to you and all the people you changed during your too-brief life.
M.
Rest easy, brother. May your Will guide you home.
