It's like taking a magical vacation even though it's a Cleveland Winter! - by Paul A. Hanczaryk

I really really like this deck! It is beautiful.
It's a 78 card deck with paintings from Katalin's experience in, on, and from Hawaii.

 Some of the majors in the deck are historical, and show actual people, buildings, and places from Hawaii's rich history.

 The court cards are Boy, Warrior...
 
Queen, King. The minors are all painted as pips, with beautiful landscape scenes from Hawaii.
In the companion book Katalin shares why she created Hawaiian tarot, some of her personal Hawaiian experience, what Aloha Spirit means, and more importantly what it taught her. The book goes on to explain a bit of what the tarot is.

 The companion book then explains some of the paintings on the cards, and gives a more traditional meaning for each card. The book also includes a lesson on tarot spreads near the end.

 They are a beautiful a work of art. Maybe not for a beginner...maybe? ...but for the experienced reader and the collector, absolutely. It's like taking a magical vacation even though it's a Cleveland Winter!
Well done Katalin!
