The colours in this deck are very natural and the images look almost as if they have been painted on stone, yet the cards are vibrant and lively. The deck reflects a reverence for nature and draws on the traditions and rich symbolism of various cultures to convey meaning. The minors in particular have been structured in an interesting way: Swords represent air, the south and Egypt; wands are fire, the east and India; cups are water, the north and Europe; while stones are earth, the west and America. The images also include associations for astrology, the kabala, i-ching and runes, making this the ideal deck for someone wishing to go deeper in their readings.
Also available are the companion books the Haindl Tarot : Major Arcana and the Haindl Tarot : Minor Arcana.
