Medicine Woman Tarot Deck

A must have in your collection if you are more than a tarot reader (healer, shaman, lightworker). Someone with a hands on mission/purpose.

These beautifully created cards, based on Native American teachings, lead us all the way from ancient practices and teach us a new way to live in this present age. We learn to honour and respect not only our own lives, but all life around us in our environment. All of our living is in the way we perceive it to be. Unfortunately most of our perceptions have been programmed into us by sad, negative, people and processes that have instilled materialistic ideas and created a greedy, judgemental society that has no place for respect and honour. This has to change if we are to survive as a race and wish to continue to live on Spaceship Earth.Every card in this Medicine Woman tarot pack has meaning and purpose. In exploring the wisdom of ancient ways we can learn how to shape the present/future in a meaningful way. These cards do not neccessarily have to be used to foretell the future, although that's an interesting process. They carry messages of peace, love and harmony, not only for women, they reach the feminine aspect in all of us. We are all daughters and sons of the Earth and it is the feminine aspects of love and compassion that will save this planet.I randomly chose 'sunset' from the pack: "The old must die to the new. Travel gently across the passing landscape, appreciating all that has been"

The Medicine Woman Tarot has a very special energy. It holds very much the Feminine vibration. It is based on the traditional Tarot pack, but with its own unique perspective. The suits are Stones, Pipes, Arrows and Bowls, and the Court Cards are Exemplar, Lodge, Totem and Apprentice. The Major Arcana has some beautiful images, and, again, some unique cards: Seed, Healing, Sunset. As a Tarot Practitioner of more than 25 years, I am delighted to add this pack to my collection. I shall also be including a section on it in my Tarot Course. I recommend it to those exploring the Tarot, and also the energy of the Divine Feminine; it is a powerful, yet gentle, introduction to both.

Good quality cards with lovely images. Not quite what I had hoped for, but that is more about taste than the actual cards.

Fantastic tarot cards, love the energy and simpleness of themSmall print BookBut great

Exceptional wisdom in these cards. You need the guidebook as well. It is a profoundly positive nourishing source of wisdom in your life.

This is a deck which is intended to assist both women and men to connect ever more closely with their feminine power in the journey towards wholeness. The accompanying leaflet provides a surprising amount of information on how to move forward on such a journey, and for those who want to read more, Bridges has written 'The Medicine Woman Inner Guidebook'. All the cards are sensitively illustrated, in a rather child-like manner, and are a joy to see.The Major Arcana cards all have the original titles in small print at the top and the 'Medicine Woman' titles in much larger print at the bottom. Some examples are 'Seed' (The Fool), 'Vision' (The Hanged Man) and 'The Grandmothers' (The Moon). There is very little of the original Tarot symbolism but the main link between all the cards is the connection between people and nature.The Minor Arcana suit names are 'Arrows' (Swords), 'Pipes' (Wands), 'Bowls' (Cups) and 'Stones' (Pentacles), and the Court card titles are 'Apprentice' (Page), 'Totem' (Knight), 'Lodge' (Queen) and 'Exemplar' (King). Each suit has its own power animal - 'Arrows, the Coyote', Pipes, the Eagle', 'Bowls, the Dolphin' and 'Stones, the Snake'. The Minor cards again break with Tarot tradition in that they don't bear the number of suit symbols according to the card number, and this seems in keeping with inspiring people to take a fresh look at 'the world'. There are two extra cards in the pack, one being an invocation to 'the Mother Creator' and the other, a welcome to the elemental energies, both of which come across as powerful and sincere.Although this deck is structurally the same as most Tarot decks, it has a different feel completely, and I have to say that I haven't found it that easy to connect with as a whole. It's a bit like being presented with a cool summer soup when you've been used to hot winter broth - perhaps not the best analogy I could have made, but I hope you get the picture.

very happy with book
