Native American Oracle Cards

Native American Oracle Cards - 32 cards with symbols from indigenous traditions

Oracle cards that work with animal symbolism and natural elements often follow a familiar pattern. This deck by Laura Tuan and Massimo Rotundo presents those symbols without simplifying them. The cards leave room for the original layers of meaning.

The deck contains 32 cards. Each card carries a symbol from indigenous traditions: power animals, forces of nature or sacred signs. The 128-page guidebook describes the background and offers starting points for interpretation.

What you see on the cards

The illustrations are figurative and warm in colour. Massimo Rotundo and Kaya Walker worked together on the images. Their style is narrative: each image shows a scene rather than a static symbol.

The colours are earthy. Lots of ochre, terracotta, dark green and warm brown. This suits the theme and makes the cards calm to look at. The symbolism takes centre stage, not the decoration.

How you work with them

The cards are accessible enough for beginners. The guidebook explains each symbol and gives context. At the same time there is room for personal interpretation, which keeps things interesting for experienced readers.

Many people use this deck for daily card draws. The format of 88 × 125 mm sits comfortably in the hand. The cards are also suitable for laying alongside tarot, as a supplement to an existing spread.

Draw a card and look only at the image first. Let the colours and the posture of the animal or element speak to you before you read the text. That makes the message more personal.
