Editors Note: Tarot is NOT a form of "Indian Divination". Although some decks have been authored by people of "Native American" or "First Nations" heritage, none of the tribes had their own tarot decks as this is a European form of divination and was not known to any Native American people until recent history.
Also, do not be confused into thinking you will find true "Native American Spirituality" here. Each tribe has its own spiritual beliefs and stories. Many "Native American" tarot decks mix them up, make them up, and give you the impression that they are some how related to "Real" Native American Spirituality. What we present in this section
are tarot and divination decks, illustrated with Native American style images. We do not claim anything more.
Native American Style Tarot Decks
Shaman Wisdom Cards
This is not a traditional tarot deck, but a divination deck, similar to the tarot.
From the publisher: "Inspired by North American Indian tradition, legend, life, lore, and religion. Readers may use the 65 cards in this deck to develop their own medicine and power on the journey through the physical and emotional worlds.
The Shaman Wisdom Cards are tools for your journey towards being in touch with the "Inner Spirit", the One within. Native American Shaman use plants, animals, minerals, and other objects as allies, helpers, and guardians in their work. You will find that these cards act as guides, showing you the way to your own inner truth and leading you on your own sacred path to inner knowledge and personal wisdom".
The cards are individulally numbered 1-65. Each Shaman Wisdom card is assigned certain qualities such as direction, gender and element. For instance, Mint (number 29) is labled with Masculine, East, Mercury-Air. These attributes are taken into consideration during interpretation.
The Shaman Wisdom Cards come with a 59 page booklet with general foklore information, elemental correspondences, detailed explanations of the individual cards, instructions, and 6 special card spreads to use. The cards measure 2 3/4" X 4 3/4".
