CARD OF THE DAY: March 7, 2022

 

Il Mondo (The World)

Tarocchi Dürer

by Giancinto Gaudenzi

 

March 7, 2022: Tarocchi Dürer, by Lo Scarabeo artist Giancinto Gaudenzi, is another of those fantastic Major Arcana decks that I'm thrilled to have but which sit untouched in their boxes or bags, unused for readings. Gaudenzi's intricate illustrations were inspired by the engravings of German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, a favorite of mine, and I hear there's a later edition of Tarocchi Dürer that includes both the Major and the Minor Arcana.

If you do purchase a collector's deck of this nature, you can still learn from it and bond with it by selecting or randomly drawing a single card per day and propping it up in a location where, now and then, you might catch a glimpse of it. In those moments, let it speak to you.

Don't spend an inordinate amount of time straining to rationally interpret it. Rather, allow serendipitous moments of encounter to surface insights that even the most seasoned Tarotista might find refreshing and satisfying.

In creating this CARD OF THE DAY series on hummingwitch, my ultimate aim has been to inspire you to take charge of your own experience with Tarot and other divination tools, and I hope you're flowing along and taking those opportunities. This is way more than "What's my daily fortune?"

To that end, do see what comes to mind as you gaze at Gaudenzi's tender Il Mondo. As I've mentioned before, each artist can't help but put his, her or their spin on these familiar archetypes, and this one gives me a few ideas about The World card I had not previously considered.

What does it say to you?
