Ever since my trade with you, Cerulean, the deck that has most opened me spiritually has been the Haindl. I find myself responding to the art - wonderfully evocative in its mix of impressionism and solidity - to the myths, to the evocative expressions of the characters, and to the interlacing of sorrow and hope throughout the deck. The fact Haindl used different symbol-systems & philosophies & wove them seamlessly with each other and with the imagery of the cards, I find astonishing: it draws me further every time I work with the deck. Even the backs inspire me - that great eye, challenging me to turn inside, and then, from inside, lift myself above.
