I picked up a Haindl deck from the post office earlier today and the first thing I did when I opened it was to quickly go through the cards to see if they were all there.
The Haindl deck has the title on the bottom of the cards so I had the deck up side down while going through it (made it easier). One single card is reversed in the deck:
Father of Cups in the North a.k.a. King of Cups. Image of it http://taroteca.multiply.com/photos/photo/49/127.jpg
I bought the deck specifically because of a reading by Indigo Rose where she used it (I hadn't seen it before) and I just needed to have that deck. The card in itself really strikes a chord with me although I obviously haven't gotten to know the deck yet and it seems quite meaningfull.
However, I'm unsure of what to relate the card to:
See it as a direct comment on the throw that inspired me to get it, sort of a clarification card?
As a new deck's advice for me?
The deck describing itself or what it offers?
Or disregard it as just a printing issue because it hasn't been used at all (no connection)?
Then there's the issue with the card actually being twice reversed... Odin is upside down on it as well (hanging from the world tree), so it's pretty confusing. How would you read a reversed-reversed card?
