5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, spiritual deck, August 24, 2001
By Kelly L. (www.FantasyLiterature.com) (Columbia, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
The Ancestral Path Tarot is a visually stunning and spiritually fascinating deck. The Majors are pretty much standard fare; the figures are in the usual poses, although they are shown as belonging to diverse ethnic groups. For example, the woman depicted on Strength is African; the Empress evokes the Middle Eastern mother goddesses; the Star is a Native American. This is one of the few decks I've seen where the Minors are better than the Majors. The artist and author assign a culture to each of the suits: Egyptian and sub-Saharan African cultures for the Staves; Japanese feudalism for the Swords; the Arthurian legend of Britain for the Cups, and a Native American vision quest for the Sacred Circles (pentacles, traditionally). The art is beautiful, and the pictures evoke deep spiritual meaning. Even the suit of Earth (the Sacred Circles), generally interpreted as being "about money", is here a profound exploration of community, resources, isolation, and discovery. Tracey Hoover, the writer of the accompanying booklet, recommends going through the Minors in reverse order, from 10 to Ace. Going through the Sacred Circles, you see the focus shifting from a community to an individual, a young woman who draws aside into seclusion to meet her spirit guide. I'm no Native American expert, but the cards are moving nonetheless. And all of the other suits are just as good. Because every card carries a deep meaning, this is more a deck for spiritual concerns than for mundane ones. Highly recommended to anyone who uses the Tarot for mystical purposes.

Rich images and wonderful detail on these cards. Very easy to use even if you are a novice tarot reader, because the detail is so great. Powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly magnificent deck!, September 14, 2000
By Una Catania (Silver Spring, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Ancestral Path tarot deck is most definitely one of my favorite tarot decks. The artwork is gorgeous and easily penetrates your subconscious. This deck is a must for collectors. These cards remind us that even though the world is composed of multitudes of cultures, we are all human beings and members of a global village.
