The Haindl Tarot
The Haindl Tarot is a rare mix of high art, Tarot esoteric tradition, and worldwide spirituality. Its striking beauty and deep tradition have already made it one of the most popular and respected decks of the modern Tarot tradition.
The four suits of the Minor Arcana reflect the wisdom of the entire world, as Haindl has based each suit on the spiritual and artistic traditions of cultures from around the planet. Swords are Egyptian, Wands are Indian, Cups are European, and Stones (Pentacles in older decks) are Native American.
The Minor Arcana actually consists of two parts: the numbered cards in each suitāAce through to 10āand the four "Court" cards. In Tarot tradition, these are King, Queen, Knight, and Page. Haindl has changed these to Mother, Father, Daughter, and Son, and has used these cards to represent a panorama of the Gods and Goddesses from different cultures.
Rachel Pollack not only explains who these Gods are, but also how we can use the Haindl cards to invoke them in our own lives.
