Cross and
Triangle- created
by the man's arms and legs, it is the sign of accomplishment
of the great work, the overcoming of personality
and the transformation of the lower passions
into pure gold. According to Dante and the Acts of Peter, the inverted hanged man can finally see and understand things the way they really are. To complete the initiation, the
hanged man must invert this symbol, as on the
World card.
Radiant Halo - The initiate is now consciously taking on the mission of the
mystic. In traditional terms, he has taken an oath to follow the path of the "saint" - hence the traditional halo.
This symbol is used in the initiations of the First, or Outer, Order..
'T' Cross
of Living Wood - by this the man is still
earthbound.
