Hey folks, it’s been a while since I did anything with Tarot cards. So the other day, I got this itch to mess around with them again, and I went for the Haindl deck. I’ve heard it’s pretty neat, so I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
First off, I got myself a Haindl Tarot deck. I remembered seeing it mentioned online a bunch, with people talking about how the artwork is different, mixing up Egyptian stuff and Native American vibes. Sounded interesting, so I found one and ordered it.
While waiting for the deck to arrive, I did some digging around about the guy who made it, Hermann Haindl. Turns out, he’s an artist who’s really into old cultures and nature. That got me even more curious. People online were saying his art is kinda blurry and strange, but in a good way. I started to wonder if maybe Haindl used that style to say things you can’t just say outright. You know, like hiding messages in the art.
When the deck finally showed up, I ripped open the package and spread the cards out. The colors were wild, and yeah, the images were kinda blurry, just like people said. But it’s not like a bad photo—it felt more like an artistic choice. Each card had these symbols on them, and I spent a good chunk of time just looking at each one, trying to figure out what they meant.
I decided to try a simple reading. I shuffled the cards, thinking about what I wanted to know, and then laid them out in a basic spread. I used the little booklet that came with the deck to get a sense of what each card was supposed to mean, but I also just went with my gut feeling about the images.
It was a cool experience. I can see why people like this deck so much. It’s not just about predicting the future or whatever. It felt more like looking at a piece of art and thinking about what it means to me. I only did one reading, but I’m definitely going to keep messing around with these cards.
My Takeaway
- Bought a Haindl Tarot deck because I was curious.
- Read up on Hermann Haindl and his style.
- Observed the cards, noticing the blurry images and symbols.
- Performed a simple reading, using the booklet and my intuition.
- Plan to continue exploring the deck.
So that’s my little adventure with the Haindl Tarot. It was a nice change of pace, and it got me thinking about art and symbols and all that good stuff. I’d recommend giving it a try if you’re into Tarot or just want to look at some interesting art.
