A Shaman Oracle - forty cards with shamanic symbolism
Oracle decks that draw from a single tradition are rare. Most mix different sources. This deck by Wulfing von Rohr deliberately takes its imagery from the American Southwest and stays there.
The deck contains forty cards. The illustrations are full-color and show power animals, natural elements and symbols from shamanic practices. The guidebook runs to 180 pages and describes each card in detail, including a specific spread.
What you see on the cards
The images work with recognizable animal figures such as the wolf, the bear and the eagle. Elements like fire, water and earth also appear. Each card carries one central symbol.
The style is figurative and accessible. No abstract forms, but direct depictions you can place immediately. The colors are warm and earthy.
How the guidebook works
The 180 pages give explanation for each card about the meaning, the background of the symbol and how you can interpret it in a reading. There is also a spread designed specifically for this deck.
The text is informative and descriptive. Von Rohr explains where the symbols come from and how they relate to shamanic teachings. That gives context, especially if you are not familiar with this tradition.
Draw one card and first read only the description in the guidebook. Pick up the card afterward and notice what stands out in the image now that you know the text.
