Haindl Tarot

The Haindl Tarot stands apart from almost every other deck in the tradition. Hermann Haindl, a painter who devoted his life to his craft, created 78 images that draw from the spiritual traditions of many cultures and connect them to lived human experience and to the natural world. The Major Arcana carry Kabbalistic, runic, and astrological associations, while the Minor Arcana suits are organized by cultural tradition: Wands relate to Hindu tradition, Cups to Celtic and Norse, Swords to ancient Egyptian, and Stones to Native American. Court cards are represented by gods and goddesses from these traditions. The result is a deck of rare artistic quality that people tend to describe as genuinely life-changing once they begin working with it seriously.
