But that's not to say that these are just fluff cards; on the contrary, perhaps the best feature of them is the inner borders each card has (majors, courts & minors) that indicate the elemental attribution- fire, water, air or earth. As I've been studying the Golden Dawn system of elemental dignities, these cards are the best for working with that system before you've had them all memorized.
My edition was printed in China, and I absolutely love the card stock quality US Games has been using for almost all the decks I have from them printed in China. The cards are thicker than usual and have minimal lamination/gloss to them, so they separate well when using any shuffling technique. (My US Games' decks printed in China that share this card stock are the Hemetic Tarot, the Original Rider Waite Tarot and the Deviant Moon Tarot. The Golden Dawn printed in China deck of mine is different card stock, however, so I guess it's not certain that we'll get this thicker, less glossy card stock from all printed in China US Games decks.)
So I most definitely recommend this deck to beginners, novices & amateurs (such as myself right now), and to more experienced readers & tarotists. The cards themselves are stunningly beautiful, the inner borders are awesome for studying and working with elemental dignities, and the card stock is the best card stock I've had.
Some words of opinion: This deck does not offer happy readings, and it tends to speak to the arbitrary yet transformative nature of suffering and grief. The Haindl Tarot would rather call you on your mortal insecurities than tell you whether or not your love for another is secretly requited. It is cutting, mysterious, and solemn. Do your homework before shuffling these cards.
The deck itself is standard US Games Systems fare. The card stock is comfortable to handle and not overly-glossy, and the little white book is fine as little white books go.
The cardstock is thin and bends v e r y easily. Keeping the deck in its sturdy little box is the best idea when you're not using it.
The LWB it comes with is lovely, giving simple divinatory meanings (upright and reversed) along with an insightful look at the art in every card.
I love this deck so much. I can't recommend it enough to a reader looking for something different.
I read with them, depending on how I feel the querent's emotional state...The Haindl Tarot Deck is for these very special ocassions when I need deeper answers, beyond the superficial expected answers; so I wouldn't recommend this deck for Beginners on the matter
The cards are thicker and bit larger than other decks, but even this size is perfect. The LWB that comes with it, gives brief details of the meaning of the cards, however there are many books that can help you to get familiar with this cards and the meanings.
I am very pleased with my New Haindl Deck!!! And I guess you'd be too!!

I guess the thing that gets to me in this deck is the deep sense of how temporary humanity is, how fragile. How delicate we are in our emotions, our spirituality and our bodies. This is represented through the four suits and the court cards. Haindl uses Egyptian mythology in the suit of Swords, Native American in the suit of Stones (Coins), Western Europe in the suit of Cups, and Hindu gods and goddesses in the Wands. So in the courts, I see reflected the attempts of humanity to make sense of ourselves and our place in the universe and in relation to each other and our world.
The pip cards show the fragility and frailty of human daily life set against a backdrop of sky, rock and sea--those elements of the earth that seem to us to be so longlasting.
Then there are the majors, Haindl's own vision of the traditional meanings shining through in his unique and unsettling style. I think 'unsettling' may be the word I've been looking for.
I haven't even mentioned the backs of the cards, which for some people are so intense as to put them off the deck entirely. A staring, lashless eye, with a sty. The perfect expression, really, of beauty side by side with suffering, and the feeling of this deck of looking at both squarely and without self-deception.
Anyone who picks up this deck and has a flick through can immediately sense the suffering and pain that runs throughout it. Haindl's world view seems to have been shaped early by his experience as a prisoner of war in Russia for four years, from age 17 to 21. Surrounded by death and grim physical indignity, Haindl found symbolic meaning in a small birch sapling growing up through a barbed wire fence, which he would contemplate for hours, and which came to him to signify growth in the midst of misery and destruction of human dignity--a symbol of rebirth and life. 'Hermann never forgot the green leaves of the little tree...the secret of the profound connection between life and death became a well of strength in him, never to be lost' (Erika Haind, 261).
So that explains the constant, throat-achingly small and keenly beautiful glimmer of hope that runs through this pain-infused deck.
There is another theme in the deck, a sort of environmental message:
'We can describe the central theme of the Haindl Tarot as the renewal of the Earth -- not just the material resources but the spiritual Earth' (13).
'We can summarize these themes simply, as a return to the ancient wisdom and respect for nature, a need to renew the Earth as well as to restore the female principle to its true place--in daily life, in society and in the cosmos.' (26).
'In the absence of harmonious balance, our nations will not stop destroying each other in war. Our food, the air we breathe, and the earth itself will be further poisoned by a society moving away from balance' (Erika Haindl, 264).
So what is the 'mission statement' of the Haindl Tarot? As Erika says:
The Haindl Tarot cannot bring about significant changes in the way we conduct ourselves. Its positive influence will be almost weightless and barely detectable. However, there is an ever-expanding network of people who not only fend off that which is destructive, but also go further and nurture the spiritual. The Haindl Tarot is part of that network. Many people will see these cards and be moved by them. In this way the rich experience and understanding captured in these inspired images will help balance the scales -- with the weight of a feather (264).
