The Spirit of the Mighty Waters — The Thoth Hanged Man & the Baptism of Mem

The Thoth Hanged Man stands as one of the most paradoxical figures in the Tarot—an image of medieval austerity, yet one that conceals a profound alchemical secret. Crowley called it “baffling,” not because it is obscure, but because it overturns the momentum of the preceding Paths. Unlike the airy liberation of The Fool (Aleph) or the volcanic transmutation of Art (Shin), the Path of the Hanged Man is a surrender into density—into the Maternal Waters of Mem.

Mem: The Maternal Waters of Initiation

The Hebrew letter מ — Mem means Water, and it is one of the three Mother Letters, the primal triad of elemental creation. Mem, Shin, and Aleph form the cosmic womb through which Spirit differentiates itself.

• Aleph – Air is the Breath of the Divine.

• Shin – Fire is the transformative furnace.

• Mem – Water is the Great Sea, the Mother-Substance of consciousness.

Of these three baptisms, the ancients taught that the Baptism of Water is central. It is the pivotal experience of the entire Tree of Life because it is here that the aspirant meets the raw liquidity of Mind—mind in its pre-rational, pre-verbal, primordial state. Mem is not the water we know from the physical world; it is the Ocean of Consciousness from which all forms arise.

The Path of Mem connects Hod (Splendor) to Geburah (Severity) on the Pillar of Severity. This is not a gentle Path. It asks the aspirant to be suspended, inverted, and dissolved. It is a conscious self-sacrifice into the astral tides—the relinquishment of surface-identity so that deeper identity may rise.

Hence its ancient title:

The Spirit of the Mighty Waters.
Not passive waters, but mighty waters: tidal, shaping, dissolving, and reconstituting the psyche itself.

Consciousness as the First Principle — The Alchemical Waters of Creation

In Western Hermetic Qabalah, consciousness is not generated by the brain. Nor is it an emergent property of life. Rather:

Consciousness is the First Principle.

Qabalistic Alchemy regards consciousness as the primordial matrix—the Thinking Principle—the original emanation from the Crown (Kether). Before Light differentiates, before form arises, before time is perceivable, there is this fluidic, intelligent substratum.

Mem represents this substratum.
The Hanged Man is not merely “hanging”—he is immersed in the womb of the Great Sea.

The reason the ancients called consciousness Water is not poetic sentiment: it is metaphysical accuracy.

• Water flows.

• Water adapts.

• Water reflects.

• Water receives impressions.

• Water transmits vibration.

Consciousness behaves identically.

Thought is a wave. Emotion is a tide. Imagination is a current. Intuition is an undertow pulling the Self inward.

Thus the Astral Plane—the World of Yetzirah—is called the Sea of Liquid Light. It is a realm not made of physical water, but of the psychic fluid of creation.

Astral Water — The Fluid Mind of Yetzirah

The Mind-Stuff encountered on the Path of Mem is the Astral Light: a responsive, living medium that receives the impressions of archetypes and transmits them downward into manifestation.

This Astral Water is:

• Conscious substance, not inert matter

• Morphogenic, shaping itself according to will and image

• Reflective, mirroring both Higher and lower impulses

• Dilatory or clarifying, depending on the aspirant’s purity of perception

As the aspirant travels upward from Malkuth through Yesod into the higher Sephiroth, this Astral Water becomes recognizable as the Stable Intelligence—stable not in form but in law, because:

There is nowhere you can go on the Tree where the Fluid Mind does not underlie, support, and translate experience.

Mem is the universal solvent of the psyche. It dissolves the false, suspends the egoic postures, and purifies the subtle body so that the Higher Genius may be known. This is why the Hanged Man appears inverted—his orientation to the world is transformed through submersion.

It is not death.
It is not punishment.
It is reversal—a return to the inner womb where consciousness reorganizes itself.

The Thoth Hanged Man as the Rite of Dissolution

Crowley’s depiction of the Hanged Man is not a romantic martyr hung from a tree—it is a cosmic ritual. He is bound in the shape of the Greek Tau-cross, symbolizing completion, and suspended in the Vesica Piscis-like womb of the astral waters. His legs form a crossed ankh; the symbol of life inverted into pre-life: the return to the Source before rebirth.

The nails that bind him speak to the severity of the Path. Water is soft in the physical world, but in astral terms it is relentless. It floods all structures that are not rooted in truth. It strips away the masks of Hod and exposes the raw force of Geburah.

The Hanged Man reveals that to move forward spiritually:

One must willingly drown the false self so that the True Self may rise.

This is not annihilation—it is immersion. The aspirant becomes transparent to their own depths, an act that requires profound courage.

Mem in the Modern Magus: The Future of the Fluid Mind

In forward-looking Hermetic magick, Mem represents the next stage of psychic evolution. Humanity’s intuitive body is reactivating. The astral tides quicken. The collective mind is moving toward a state where thought and feeling interface more directly with manifestation.

Thus, the Hanged Man becomes not a medieval relic but a symbol of the coming psychic epoch, in which the inner waters rise to reshape the world.

To master Mem is to master:

• emotional intelligence

• symbolic cognition

• astral perception

• intuitive gnosis

• the morphogenic field of consciousness

• the ability to dissolve and reform identity at will

This is the initiation required of the modern Hermeticist.

Yesod-the 9th Sephiroth – The Lunar Gate of the Fluidic Mind

As the aspirant ascends or descends the Tree of Life, they meet the First Principle in a more condensed and psychically accessible form: in Yesod, the Sphere of the Moon. It is here that the Astral Fluid condenses, becoming the Mirror of the Mind, and the subconscious reservoir of images and impressions.

Yesod is the Foundation not because it is material — it is not — but because it is the dream-field of all manifestation, the psychic loom upon which materiality is woven. From here, the First Principle (Consciousness) becomes reflectively aware of itself. Yesod, ruled by Luna, governs rhythmic cycles, tides, instincts, and imaginal creation. In this way, Yesod is both receptive and projective — it absorbs vibrations from above (Hod/Netzach and beyond) and pulses them downward into Malkuth.

In the alchemical metaphor, this is where Mercurial Water (fluidic consciousness) begins to coagulate into the Philosopher’s Stone — the stabilized awareness of the adept.

The Astral Fluid: The Stable Intelligence

The Astral Fluid is referred to as the Stable Intelligence (as attributed to the 32nd Path in the Sefer Yetzirah), not because it is unmoving, but because it is foundational, ever-present, and consistent across the spectrum of existence. This paradox is key: what seems most mutable — like water or emotion — is also the most essential and reliable substratum of consciousness.

This "Stable Intelligence" underlies all paths and Sephiroth because it is the subconscious ether connecting them. Every path traversed by the aspirant flows upon this Astral Fluid. Each symbol, Tarot Key, planetary force, or elemental spirit arises upon this wave of thought-consciousness — for thought is the fabric of the Inner Worlds, and the Astral Plane is the woven tapestry.

The Path of Tav — The Universe and Astral Descent

The Tarot Key The Universe (ATU XXI), corresponding to the 32nd Path (Tav), illustrates the descent of the Spirit into Form. It is through this Path that the Astral Light — the fluidic First Principle — condenses into Yesod. From here, the aspirant experiences the first contact with subconscious reality, and hence begins the magnum opus of transmutation.

This Path also represents the veil between the microcosmic and macrocosmic self. It is through meditation on this current — the Astral Sea — that the aspirant rises to direct conscious operation of the fluidic light.

Practical Implications for the Aspirant

To work with the First Principle as Astral Fluid:

• Meditate on Yesod and The Moon (ATU XVIII) to understand how images in your psyche originate and how they are transmitted.

• Visualize your consciousness as a liquid mirror, observing how thoughts ripple across its surface.

• In ritual, invoke the Astral Light as a conscious, flowing medium. This is the basis of true magic: to shape the Astral Fluid by Will and project it into Malkuth.

• Use Tarot Key XXI, The Universe, as a pathworking guide to draw consciousness up from Yesod to the awareness of Kether by reversing the flow.

Conclusion: Consciousness is the River of Becoming

Consciousness, as the Alchemical First Principle, is not merely a tool. It is the Great Work in motion. It is the River of Becoming, flowing through the Sephiroth and shaping reality by the reflections it casts upon itself. The Astral Fluid is both the substance and symbol of this sacred current — a liquid light undulating across the inner cosmos. The Wise learn to ride its waves.

As stated in the Emerald Tablet of Hermes:

“Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.”

That force is consciousness in wave, the primal Water of the mind, the matrix of magic, and the true mirror of the Divine within.

Arcane Tarot – Key 12 – The Hanged Man

A Promethean Suspension & the Alchemy of Surrender

The Arcane Tarot’s Hanged Man diverges dramatically from the medieval gallows imagery of older decks. Instead of a figure hung by the foot, we encounter a man bound, almost cruciform, in a posture more reminiscent of Prometheus chained to the mountainside than of the medieval penitent.

This visual shift changes everything.

Whereas the Thoth Hanged Man immerses the aspirant in the mighty maternal waters of Mem, the Arcane Tarot’s figure suggests a mythic ordeal—a conscious yielding to a higher force. Like Prometheus, whose punishment became an initiation into divine endurance, the Arcane Hanged Man demonstrates that restraint is not defeat, but a deliberate act of spiritual recalibration.

A Calm Captive — Bound by Choice, Not by Fate

Although he is restrained, there is no terror or resistance in his expression. He radiates calm acceptance, as if he has willingly entered this suspended state. His immobility becomes his vantage point. His lack of movement becomes inward motion.

He is not trapped.
He is redirected.

He is not being punished.
He is being purified.

He is not helpless.
He is surrendering to insight.

By choosing not to struggle, the Arcane Hanged Man demonstrates an occult truth:

Insight arises when force ceases, and the mind becomes still enough to be overturned from the inside.

His bonds create the necessary pause that opens the door to revelation.

Upright Meaning

A Sacred Pause — New Vision Through Stillness

If life feels stalled, suspended, or held in an uncomfortable “in-between” phase, this card advises the querent to yield rather than resist. The pause is not a punishment; it is a gestation period.

The Hanged Man asks:

• What truth reveals itself when you stop struggling?

• What perspective opens when you release control?

• What inner alignment becomes possible only in stillness?

Sometimes life forces a suspension so that the psyche can shift into a new orientation. What seems like delay is actually preparation for a breakthrough.

Career Meaning

A Slow Project or Delayed Momentum

A project or professional pathway may be taking longer than anticipated—or may be temporarily halted altogether. Rather than forcing progress, the Arcane Hanged Man encourages the querent to:

• trust the timing,

• redirect attention to what can be cultivated now,

• use the pause to refine insight or strategy.

This card teaches that the invisible work done during stillness shapes the visible success that follows.

Reversed Meaning

Avoiding the Pause — Rushing Past the Revelation

When reversed, the Arcane Hanged Man warns of:

• refusal to slow down,

• fear of stillness,

• impatience for results,

• spiritual apathy that blinds one to an essential detail.

It indicates that an important insight is being missed because the querent resists the very suspension that would reveal it.

The reversal urges the querent to accept the necessary pause rather than flee from it. Only through surrender does the revelation arrive.

Carl Jung, who coined the phrase, Universal Collective Unconscious, describe this Water of Mem as a"...boundless expanse full of unprecedented uncertainty, with apparently no inside and no outside, no above and no below, no here and no there, no mine and no thine, no good and no bad".

To him the First Principle of the Alchemists was also described as Water, as he also states, "It is the world of water, where all life floats in suspension: where the realm of the sympathetic system, the soul of everything living begins; where I am individually this and that; where I experience the other in myself and the other-than-myself experiences me.....the collective conscious is anything but an encapsulated personal system; it is sheer objectivity, as wide as the world and open to all the world."

Jung, the Collective Unconscious, and the Reversal of Perspective on the Path of Mem

I would highly recommend that anyone seeking genuine Self-awareness explore the works of Carl Jung, especially his writings on the Collective Unconscious. Jung’s modern psychological discoveries illuminate what the ancient Qabalists, Hermeticists, and Alchemists encoded in symbolic language: that beneath the waking mind lies a vast ocean of psychic forces, archetypes, and primordial images that shape personal identity long before the ego appears.

To put it in Jung’s own terms, in the ordinary state of waking-consciousness we are “always the subject that has an object.”
We look outward. We perceive. We judge. We believe ourselves to be the fixed center from which experience radiates.

But in the Collective Unconscious—Jung’s psychological equivalent of the Great Sea—this relationship is utterly inverted. There, as Jung stated:

We are no longer the subject of experience, but the object of every subject.

This is not merely poetic metaphor; it is a clinical articulation of the ancient mystery of Mem, the Maternal Waters.

THE HANGED MAN is where the invisible becomes visible.

The Jungian Reversal as the Alchemical Work of Mem

On the Path of Mem, the aspirant undergoes exactly this inversion. The personal “I” (subjective consciousness) dissolves into the astral waters, and what emerges is the startling realization that we are perceived, shaped, and moved by forces far older and far deeper than the ego.

In Hermetic terms:

• The subjective I AM becomes the objective ME.

• The ego becomes a symbol rather than the ruler.

• The seeker becomes the sought.

• Consciousness recognizes itself as a wave in a far greater ocean.

This is the baptism of Mem:
the surrender of the surface-self into the universal psychic depths, where identity is unmade and remade.

In the Thoth system, this process is depicted by the Hanged Man—suspended, inverted, and immersed in the Fluidic Mind of creation. Jung provides the modern vocabulary for what the Qabalists intuited long before psychology was born.

Thus, reading Jung is not merely helpful for occultists—it is initiatory. His work grants a contemporary understanding of the ancient teaching:

To know the Self, one must first encounter the Ocean from which the Self arises.

And it is into this Ocean—the Mighty Waters of Mem—that the Hanged Man willingly descend

In the Thoth Tarot card of the HANGED MAN, the Womb of Binah is where the hanging figure's foot is held.; from the oval (egg) of the Egyptian Ankh, which is the cross like symbol (also called the Tau cross) of both Divine Androgyny and Infinity.

The Hanged Man and the Womb of Binah: The Path of Mem and the Alchemy of the Anima-Animus Fusion

In the Thoth Tarot, the ATU XII Hanged Man is a profound key of spiritual alchemy, not of death or punishment, but of reversal, re-absorption, and mystical gestation. The figure is suspended by the foot from the oval womb of the Ankh — the ancient Egyptian symbol of immortality, divine androgyny, and infinite continuity.

This placement is no arbitrary artistic choice. The oval of the Ankh, like the Vesica Piscis, is a yoni-like symbol, representing the Womb of Binah, the Supernal Mother on the Tree of Life — the gateway through which the Soul descends into manifestation and through which it must re-ascend transfigured.

Path of Mem: Descent into the Waters of Form

The Hanged Man is assigned the Hebrew letter Mem (מ), meaning “Water.” It is the Elemental Water path that descends from Geburah (Severity/Power) into Hod (Splendor/Intellect). Here we move from the Will-to-Judgment into the form-shaping domain of Mercurial thought — but this transition requires a drowning. A surrender. A complete reversal of ordinary egoic operation.

The aspirant doesn’t merely walk this path; they are suspended within it.

In earlier stages, the initiate meditates upon symbols, deities, archetypes, and truths perceived as “outside” the self. But upon encountering the Path of Mem, a critical inversion occurs:

The Self becomes the Subject of its own meditation.

This is not self-reflection in a psychological sense — it is the Self beholding itself through the eye of the All. It is the Eye of Horus within the Waters.

The Meditator Becomes the Meditated Upon

At this stage, the ego-personality — the Ruach — surrenders its pursuit of the Higher Self and instead becomes the vessel through which the Higher Self flows. This reversal is a sacred marriage: the Anima and Animus (Neshemah and Ruach), the inner masculine and feminine polarities, merge in the stillness of astral suspension.

The "other" that was previously the target of aspiration — the higher, divine image — becomes the indwelling Presence, the overshadowing force. This is not possession — it is Divine Envelopment. The Solar Self, previously remote in Tiphareth, now descends through the Astral Waters of Mem and takes up residence in the surrendered form.

Womb of Binah and the Tau Cross

The Tau Cross of the Ankh upon which the Hanged Man is suspended is a symbol of sacrificial rebirth, sacred and androgynous. The horizontal bar of the Tau represents the maternal plane of form and polarity, while the vertical descent is Spirit — the masculine ray entering into incarnation.

Thus, the cross is crucible, and the Hanged Man is the Solutio stage of the alchemical process — the ego dissolved in the Maternal Waters so that the divine image may be reconstituted.

Binah, as the Supernal Mother, is also the matrix of Time, and here the ego is hung in time — caught between dimensions — until it realizes its timeless essence.

Animus and Anima: The Energetic Polarity of Magic

The fusion of Anima and Animus at this stage is not merely Jungian, but energetic and cosmic. These twin forces, normally flowing unconsciously through time and space, now become conscious within the adept. Their fusion opens the inner Stargate of magical ability, for it aligns the aspirant with the bi-polar current of Divine Creation:

• Animus (Inner Solar Masculine) — Projective, directional Will (Chokmah in the Supernals)

• Anima (Inner Lunar Feminine) — Receptive, formative Intelligence (Binah as the Womb)

When unified in the fluid of Mem, they create the Magical Child, or Savior Self — the androgynous embodiment of the Higher Sensual Self. This is not sensation in the carnal sense, but a higher gnosis through all senses awakened — sight that sees archetypes, hearing that discerns inner voices, and touch that feels energy currents.

The Higher Sensual Self: Birth of the Inner Magus

Once the Hanged Man has yielded, the Personality becomes the Seed-Temple for the Solar Self. This inner marriage births the Magus — not a mask worn by ego, but the Divine Voice and Operator within.

This is why Crowley associates the Hanged Man not with stagnation, but with transformative Will through Surrender. In fact, it is only through this inversion that one acquires true magical ability — for the Magus must be a mirror, not a manipulator.

Conclusion: The Still Waters Where God Is Seen

The Thoth Hanged Man shows us that magic is not conquest but communion. It is not the assertion of will upon the world, but alignment with the hidden currents beneath it. The Tau Cross, the Womb, and the Ankh together reveal the secret:

The path to power is through surrender.
The road to magic is through mystical passivity.
The Divine descends when the self ceases to cling.

When we become the object of our own meditation, the “I” dissolves, and the “I AM” arises.

Hence, if one manifests as "male" (animus) then the Soul, acts as "female" (Anima). It surprises those on the Path of Mem, when they find that the Soul is meditating the real- personality into manifestation and that their Soul shows itself as the opposite sex and the most beloved.

However, this is the hermaphrodite personality that belongs as a representative of the Soul on the Earth Plane of Malkuth and is not the personality you "think" you are. The original personality (not the false persona of indoctrination) is built to be a Mercury-consciousness, who flies from soul to body and back, with messages from the Higher Self and is not "man-made" nor a product of the "false ego" mind virus seen as the persona/ego of a culture or as a gender.

On the path of Mem, one experiences a unique perspective, a perspective often sought by those who use a crystal pendulum to find inner answers.

In summary, a yogi stands on their head not only for the physical benefits, like improved circulation and strength, but also for the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of yoga practice, which include enhanced focus, stress reduction, and a connection to higher consciousness.

Some believe that destiny is the pattern of life we have been born in; However, that is fate and not destiny. The facts are that we can change destiny as we weave our personal web of life experiences. This is called freedom of choice. Our fate is "to be", and that is already achieved, but "what to be" is made of personal choice. As each spider weaves its own patterns in the life stream, so do we as the "I AM" who declares the "Me". This web is called "timelines" (paths we walk), and they are our proof of manifestation and/or time-space mastery. However, we are not alone in our domain for we are Spirit-Mind-Body: an invisible and visible creation of Self.

Here one is reminded that there are times on the path when it is necessary to change perspectives and/or "timelines". There will be epiphanies, often called "Ah-ha" moments, when reversals will bring re-birthing opportunities; being "born again", is simply a change of perspective that baptizes the personality in its flow. Therefore, sacrificing one's position on an issue and looking at it from a different direction may bring enlightenment.

When we encounter a new perspective, we become infused with strength, tenacity, prosperity, and intellectual clarity and thereby change our "life motion" and/or timeline. This clarity comes from the Soul's ability to reveal to us how the elements of our affairs are connected and the end point where the exact answer to a given problem lies before all becomes "written in stone".

However, all of this joy could be profaned by the "false ego" if the expectation of a profound change leads us to imprudent or irresponsible behavior. Thereby, thwarting any sacrifice or change of direction and leading us to self-pity, boredom, or utter helplessness in the face of change. The image of the Hanged Man implies that one is sacrificing something old to gain something new.

The Tarot Key 12- The Hanged/Hanging Man Card is also assigned the planetary influence of Neptune.

In astrology, Neptune is considered one of the outer planets and is associated with various characteristics and influences. Here are some key traits and themes associated with Neptune:

1. Illusion and Fantasy: Neptune is often linked to illusion, delusion, and the world of dreams and fantasies. It can represent a desire to escape reality or a tendency to idealize situations.

2. Imagination and Creativity: On a positive note, Neptune is associated with heightened imagination and creativity. It can inspire artistic expression, spiritual insights, and a connection to the mystical.

3. Spirituality and Mysticism: Neptune is strongly linked to spiritual matters, mysticism, and the transcendental. It encourages a search for deeper meaning and connection with the divine.

4. Sensitivity and Empathy: Neptune is associated with heightened sensitivity and empathy. Individuals with prominent Neptune in their birth chart may be more attuned to the emotions of others and the collective consciousness.

5. Confusion and Deception: The influence of Neptune can sometimes bring confusion, deception, or a lack of clarity. It's important for individuals to be mindful of potential illusions or self-deception.

6. Sacrifice and Idealism: Neptune is connected to themes of sacrifice and idealism. It can inspire a selfless approach to life, where individuals may be willing to make sacrifices for the greater good or pursue higher ideals.

7. Neptunian Glamour: Neptune is often associated with a sense of glamour and enchantment. This can manifest in a fascination with the glamorous or the idealized aspects of life.

8. Oceanic Symbolism: Neptune is symbolically linked to the ocean and its vast depths. This can represent the unconscious mind, emotions, and the mysterious aspects of life.

9. Dissolution and Evasion: Neptune is sometimes associated with a tendency to dissolve boundaries and evade reality. This can manifest as a desire to escape through various means, such as substances or idealized fantasies.

In an astrological birth chart, the placement of Neptune can influence an individual's personality, spirituality, and approach to creativity. The aspects (angular relationships) Neptune forms with other planets also play a significant role in determining its specific impact on an individual's life.

The symbols of the 4 elements

Crowley, believed that the Hanged Man, as traditionally and historically understood, is an obsolete Tarot image in the New Horus-Aeon Deck of Thoth. He implies that it is an evil legacy and even goes on to compare it to the appendix, an organ in the human body that serves no apparent purpose: This card is beautiful in a strange, immemorial, moribund manner. it is the card of the Dying God; its importance in the pack is merely that of the Cenotaph. [Book of Thoth-Pg. 97]

For those who don't know, a Cenotaph is a term describing a tomb or monument to honor a person whose body is buried somewhere else. 

None of us are "seeking" spirit, for Spirit (breath) is our First Identity, the body is our "10th" dimensional Sephirotic Identity and an experiment in Intimate/Manifested and/or coagulated self-identity. For we started in the "Above" at the birth of light, before we manifested our psyche in the "Below", as the Hanged Man with his head in the material world. Therefore, to seek spirit is to be as intelligent as a fish in the ocean looking for water.

Accept the fact that you are the Will of the One to Be. It's best to use your imagination to see yourself as a Powerful Spiritual Will that controls the Mind rather than a mind controlled by outside and/or false authority.
