Haindl Tarot Deck The Haindl Tarot is the work of German painter Hermann Haindl. The images on this deck swirl and flow as in a dreamscape. Faces and objects on the cards often reflect symbols and myths from different cultures including Egyptian, Indian, Native American and Celtic. Haindl also draws on many esoteric and religious traditions to enhance his deck. Each Major Arcana card has been assigned a Hebrew letter, rune and astrological sign. The Minor Arcana cards show hexagrams from the I Ching. Each suit card also has a colored border with red = Wands, blue = Cups, White = Swords and Yellow = Stones (Pentacles). Haindl is the artist for the Haindl Rune Oracle deck as well. There is a book to go with this deck called The Haindl Tarot: A Reader's Handbook written by the well-known tarot author Rachel Pollack (224 pages). Pollack also wrote the instruction booklet.
