Hi! I'm very excited - I ordered the Haindl deck from Amazon and it's been dispatched, so I should get it tommorow. I've been using the Rider-Waite but have felt very drawn to the Haindl and put it off but kept looking at it on the web so eventually bought it! I'm not sure how I'll get on with it not been 'traditional' and I've heard some people find the images a little dark, but I do feel drawn and can't wait to get it....

You should enjoy it very much. I rate it very highly indeed. :D If you didn't get the boxed set, I would still recommend (at some stage?) getting the "book". The most recent one, "The Reader's Handbook", by Haindl and Rachel Pollack, concentrates on the divinatory aspects. I have found it to be useful, for the "technical stuff" which other general books do not cover i.e. the specific Runic, Hebrew and I-Ching card association Haindl uses... and the imaginative choice of court cards ;) Macavity

White Jasmine, the Haindl is a lovely and powerful deck. It is one of my all-time favorites. I second Macavity's book recommendation. Enjoy your cards!
