Scary Tarot - The Hanged Man

People often get tarot card readings.  One of the more disconcerting tarot cards to get in a spread to those not in the know is The Hanged Man.  Holy smokes.  There he is hanging from the gallows.  This cannot be good.

Stop and take a closer look  at this particular tarot card.  The man is indeed hanging.  However, the rope is attached to his ankle - hardly a death sentence.  The man does not even look uncomfortable.

Scary Tarot - The Death Card

The Death Card generally depicts a skeleton on a horse.  It is visually a dramatic card.  It is often used in the media to frighten people.  How many times have you watched a scene where someone facing a difficult situation goes to a psychic for a tarot reading.  The psychic reader often tosses down a few cards, then dramatically reveals The Death Card.  There is often music to enhance the scariness of The Death Card, followed by stunned silence.  This gives the impression that someone is going to die.  Scary Tarot!
