Notes
"This Hanged Man serves for an example to the presumptuous, and his position indicates discipline, the absolute submission which the human owes to the Divine."[2] Notice but the threat of physical violence, and the admonition to submit.
"But the revelation of the law involve punishment for him who violates it, or elevation for him who understands it; and here we find the ideas of punishment, of violent death, voluntary or involuntary." IOW, once the secrets are revealed, you better keep your mouth shut, or else.[3]
