Heinrich Pangrau

His approach to tarot

Heinrich looks at tarot as a historian and art historian: every card is an image with its own history, and its meaning is built from symbols that have lived in European culture for centuries. That is why the interpretations on this site rest on the classic Rider–Waite and Golden Dawn tradition and always explain why a card means what it means.

The second principle is calm language, free of mystification and scare tactics. Here tarot is a tool for reflection: a way to look at a situation from the outside, ask yourself precise questions and make a decision. No card passes a final sentence, not even The Tower or the Ten of Swords.

What Heinrich has created for the project

• The author’s tarot deck: 78 cards created to his design.
• Meanings of all 78 cards: upright and reversed, love, work, money, health, a yes-or-no answer, combinations and a breakdown of the symbolism.
• Card of the Day and Card for Tomorrow: interpretations for daily practice.
• Articles on how to ask the cards questions, how to shuffle and lay out the deck, what a significator is and who the querent is.
• Monthly horoscopes.
