Hanged Man CAIN Luciferian Tarot Tapestries
The Luciferian Tarot Series presents the depictions of the Adversary by the design of Michael W. Ford and the painted images from Nico Claux from the Out-of-Print Luciferian Tarot Deck (2007). "CAIN is surrounded by the environment of his desire – on the altar a burnt offering with black smoke billowing to blacken the sky – smoke in ancient religions signifies that Satan has mingled with fire. Cain can see only red – blood and his hunger for it. In his anger, Cain is illuminated with Black Flame coming from his head and beard. It is not just the power derived from anger but also the insight of becoming. With his left hand he holds Abel, his uninitiated self, right hand holding the dagger made from the thigh bone of a grave mound. As he sacrifices Abel, the Blood is offered to his Demon – the very father of transformation and becoming. The hanged man represents self-sacrifice, like Odin, who gave an eye for the wisdom of the world – both above and below.” First Book of Luciferian Tarot
