Product Description
Product Description
To write about these remarkable cards, Rachel Pollack traveled to Germany and spent weeks living with Hermann Haindl and his wife, Erica. Together, they went over every card, its symbolism, its inner levels, its esoteric history. The result is a book countless admirers of the Haindl Tarot have described as "indispensable" to a full knowledge and use of the deck. In this book Rachel describes each card of the Major Arcana in great detail. She explores the symbols and meanings for each card, as well as its artistic structure and how it fits into the wider story. She comprehensively explains how to do Tarot readings, what we can learn from them, and how to interpret the cards. Rachel gives several layouts, or "spreads," including one developed specifically for the special beauty and wisdom of the Haindl Tarot. Several sample readings demonstrate how a reading can reveal truths and guide us on our spiritual path.

Format:Cards
The Haindl deck is one of the most multicultural I've ever encountered. Instead of the Anglo prototypes prevalent since the Rider-Waite, Hermann Haindl uses India, Egypt, England, and America as his four suits. He also uses Norse runes, Hebrew letters, and I Ching characters on each card. It's lovely and visually enticing, and it truly speaks to the experienced reader. It's a good intermediate deck, perhaps a bit too full for the neophyte reader.
Format:Paperback
Tarot expert Rachel Pollack explores the symbology and personal nuances of Haindl's esoteric deck. Special attention is paid to the I Ching aspects, upright and reversed, which is helpful and to the Court cards and the myths attached to them. This deepens the reader's appreciation to what might otherwise be a perplexing deck to a novice, but which is in fact solidly within the tarot tradition, albeit with an environmentalist/ new age feel, transmuting the ancient signs for greater relevance in a nuclear age.

Format:Paperback
I do not think the author went into sufficient detail with some of the cards, because there were things in the pictures that were not dealt with; on the other hand, I must take into consideration how much bigger and more expensive the book would have been if she HAD covered every detail! On the whole, this is a very good and useful handbook for both the beginner and more advanced Tarot users. The Haindl Tarot is an exceptional pack by any standards, and Rachel Pollock almost does it justice.
