Hilda – Metaphorical Associative Cards

This deck consists of 22 images in which silence speaks louder than words.
They convey inner states through simple scenes of everyday life, where every movement, glance, or pause becomes a metaphor.
The image of Hilda is recognizable yet unobtrusive, allowing it to easily become a mirror of personal experience.

The cards work on a sensory level.
They do not provoke a sharp emotional reaction but gradually draw one into contact with oneself.
This very softness allows the psyche to relax, reduce resistance, and see one’s own experiences without defense or judgment.

Thanks to the simplicity of the compositions and the clarity of the images,
attention naturally turns inward.
A person begins to notice subtle details—mood, bodily reactions, memories, associations.
The cards are well suited for working with themes of loneliness, support, inner grounding, the inner child, vulnerability, and calm.

This deck supports the development of metaphorical thinking,
figurative language, and the ability to interpret personal experience through symbols.
It helps to:

• gently explore emotional states
• deepen self-reflection
• find words for inner experiences
• create a safe space when working with oneself or with others

The images do not set a direction—they open a space.
Each card becomes an entry point into a personal story that is born here and now.
