Who are shamans? What do they do? Healers. Masters of secret and sacred elements. But do we really know their stories? We hear about them from researchers, poets, ecologists and spiritualists, during an era in which re-establishing a conscious contact with our world is essential. This 50 card oracle deck depicts real Shamans (both famous and lesser known), sacred plants, animals, and the places that inspire them – all explained in an accompanying full coloured booklet.

Each tarot card is an invitation to explore a new world, and perspective. In this deck the reader not only explores 78 Rider Waite Smith tarot cards, but also the evocative landscapes they each inhabit. Dream and fantasy surround every Arcanum with more parallels to our everyday life than we can imagine. The RWS deck is complemented by a comprehensive manual providing guidance for tarot readers, old and new, as well as instructions for how to read the Tarot Landscapes.
