NDNs - Check It Out!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spirit of the Wheel Meditation Deck with Poster and Booklet (Cards)
As a Native person, I am cautious in introducing New Age/Metaphysical subjects to my NDN friends and family (FYI to the non-Natives reading this: many, many Native people are scornful of these things; they view the often clumsy incorporation of Native teachings into worldwide metaphysics as the frequent theft of a culture the thieves can never truly comprehend). When I started reading oracle cards a few years ago, I loved them so much and began seeking a way to share my newfound knowledge with those closest to me. This deck was the answer.
It was created by a woman who lived with a (Cree?) tribe out west, and the symbols are based on that tribe's clans and beliefs (I like that it didn't take a "one-size-fits-all-Indians" approach). As you read them, you will find yourself interpreting to your own tribe's teachings and recognizing the symbology in that context. Even so, take a look at the book and just see if there's a little more information to be gleaned from each card. The cards are remarkably easy to read, with each one bearing three key words on the front. You almost don't need the book, but you might want to refer to it anyway until you get to know them better. The medicine wheel chart that comes with the deck is pretty cheesy and you probably won't use it. I usually do a simple three card spread, but there are some very intriguing suggestions in the book. I particularly liked the calumet/pipe layout and got some good readings from it right off the bat. The first time I read for my mother and my aunt, both elders, I was amazed to learn my great-grandfather was known to read an ordinary deck of playing cards. He helped a lot of people in his village and it made me so proud to hear that. I spread a nice cloth on the table, smudged the cards and ourselves, and read for them. They loved it! If you are looking for a deck that respects the Red Road and won't offend your ancestors, this is probably the one for you.

Gorgeous oracle and meditation deck.....,

This review is from: Spirit of the Wheel Meditation Deck with Poster and Booklet (Cards)
The Spirit of the Wheel Deck is amazing! It is one of the best oracle finds for me, this year. I now own 4 copies, as I want to make sure I have this for life! The artwork is gorgeous, soft colours, bold statements, gentle teachings of life. This can be used in a myriad of ways, be it as a meditation deck, pathworking or as an oracle, it will help guide you into a world of Native American teachings, animal totems, spiritual growth and how the Creator of life weaves all these together to form the medicine wheel. Higly recommended to anyone interested in the above forms of divination or meditation as well as Native American spirituality.

Very Spiritual Cards,
By Roger Gilbert "Thunderhands" (San Diego) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spirit of the Wheel Meditation Deck with Poster and Booklet (Cards)
I have been using an oracle for years to tap into spirit or higher self. The I-ching, first and foremost, but native american spirituality also. This deck has awesome artwork and three word reminders on each card concerning the meaning described in the little book that comes in the deck. My recommendation is to lay the cards out on the floor in a medicine wheel (chart Included) so you can see how each card correlates and is placed in the Medicine wheel. I also burned sage and walked in a circle around the wheel blessing it and giving it my own personal power. I am picky about the tools I use for ritual, prayer and guidance. These cards speak to me, about the circle of life and walking it. These are not tarot cards..they are about the medicine wheel. I use these and another excellent deck called. The Lakota sweat lodge cards. Inspired by medicine man Archie Fire lame deer.
