Design and Artwork
The Shaman Tarot, crafted by Sabrina Riganello and Alessia Pastorello, features stunning imagery that invites you into the shamanic world. The artwork, at times bordering on surrealism, places the shaman at the center of each card. The background of these cards depicts white clouds against a blue sky, with a gradient towards a white vertical column at the center. The images, reminiscent of watercolors or tempera, are dark and intense, with tastefully illustrated topless female figures used sparingly.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck emphasizes symbols over labels, making it suitable for those with some experience in Tarot. It follows ancient teachings and is designed for modern Shamans seeking a more authentic relationship with themselves and the Spirit of the World. The four stages of Dance, Travel, Combat, and Healing illustrate the shaman's journey to communicate with spirits and gain knowledge and power for healing.
User Experience
The Shaman Tarot is not for the uninitiated, but for those who seek to delve deeper into shamanic traditions. It includes a multilingual instruction booklet, making it accessible to a broader audience. The deck is designed to bring higher guidance and hidden information to the surface, providing profound insights and advice.
