 Hanged Man : Aeclectic Tarot
The difference is however, that the Hanged Man searches wholly within himself (Hence the red rose in the otherwise uncoloured man) whilst the Hermit& search continues to the outside world, hence the shining lantern being held out by the Hermit in traditional Tarot decks.

 Excerpt from "The Hanged Man"
Here before us is the Card of the twelfth Arcanum of the Tarot, the Hanged Man. It represents a young man suspended by one foot between two trees, with branches cut close to the trunk, from a transversal beam that they support, thus forming a porch.
It is significant that the term "the Fall" — chosen for the primordial event which brought about the change of man's state from that named "paradise" to the terrestrial state of toll, suffering and death &; is borrowed from the domain of gravitation.
Firstly, it should be said that attraction from above is as real as that from below, and that the condition of a human being who has passed, whilst living, from the field of terrestrial gravitation into that of heaven is indeed comparable to that of the Hanged Man of the Card.
