The Hanged Man is arguably the most enigmatic card in the traditional tarot deck. Divested of any archetypal apparel \u2013 he is neither emperor nor fool, but just a man, who happens to be hanging \u2013 he gazes back at us with the look of one who harbors a secret. But what sort of secret? In this episode, JF and Phil discuss the card that no less august a personage than A.E. Waite, co-creator of the classic Rider-Waite deck, claimed was beyond all understanding.

The musical interludes in this episode are from Pierre-Yves Martel's recent album, "Bach." Visit his website\xa0for more.
