Despite herself and despite how completely reasonable his reaction was, Hamuko did her best to stifle a giggle-snort.
"Not like that! It's-- on the card, it's a man hanging by his ankle, with his other leg like this," she adjusted how she sat to demonstrate, "hanging upside down. That's from the Odin myth! I thiiiink that story was about Odin hanging himself upside down and staring into some mythical water beneath to get a new insight? Learn something important, and that's why he's Odin the wise? I only read a little when I had Odin as a Persona for a while."
