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.

A very unusual, but attractive Tarot Deck this - though very hard to read on one's own... I understand that there is an accompanying book (sold separately) to assist with these Cards that may help the Reader somewhat, but this appears to be out of print - or at least judging by the ridiculous prices being charged for even used copies - in extremely short supply...
I do like these Cards and will keep them for my ever growing Collection, but it is unlikely I feel I shall ever use them... Way too much going on in the images for my liking, and you have to really look too deeply (even more intently than one feels one should have to) in order to make out some of the very intricate images and symbolism...
Nice quality though, with a lovely `waxy' finish, and they do come with a small booklet that does give quite a bit of information on the meanings - but just difficult to decipher without some form of assistance...
I really like the idea of `Stones' as a suit, and I have a whole bunch of favourite Cards which are; `The Tower', `King of Wands', `The Fool', `Prince of Cups', `Prince of Wands', `Princess of Cups', `The Hierophant', `Alchemy', and `Princess of Wands', and I do like the little differences showing the various titles and words at the top and bottom of some Cards.

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.
