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 22 Major Arcana cards are lush and powerful as they portray Haindl's great lesson of dedication to the Earth. Each card contains symbols from astrology, the Kabbalah, and the Germanic Runes. In Tarot tradition, the Major Arcana, with dramatic titles such as "The Magician" or "The Hanged Man," depict the Tarot's great themes, especially the journey of the soul from birth to adulthood to spiritual enlightenment. Haindl has added a commitment to the Earth and its future, a renewal of human sacredness, and a love of nature to this structure.
The book for the Major Arcana carefully explores the symbols and meanings for each card, as well as its artistic structure and how it fits in the wider story. Specific divinatory meanings are given to show how the card works in Tarot readings.
