Shining Tribe Tarot Deck & Book Set

Embark on a Sacred Journey of Self-Discovery, with Bestselling Author and Tarot Master Rachel Pollack and the Shining Tribe of Diviners as Your Guides

From Rachel Pollack, the renowned author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, widely referred to as the “Tarot bible,” this deck and guidebook invite readers to join the “shining tribe” of diviners and take a timeless sacred journey of self-discovery.

“All of us who work with Tarot form a kind of tribe, one whose roots go back many thousands of years before the actual appearance of Tarot cards. This is the tribe of diviners, those special magicians, shamans, psychics, and visionaries who use cards, or sticks, or trees, or stones, or shells to communicate with the Gods.” —Rachel Pollack

Human beings have practiced the art of divination for millennia. In some cultures, diviners studied patterns in nature—the flight of birds, the forms of clouds, or the arrangement of the stars in the night sky. In others, they created elaborate divinatory systems such as the I Ching and the Tarot. Drawing from the legacy of 50,000 years of human encounters with the Divine, Tarot scholar Rachel Pollack has created The Shining Tribe Tarot.

The Shining Tribe Tarot cards are steeped in symbolism drawn from culturally diverse systems including Neolithic rock art, Native American and African shamanism, Aboriginal art, the Kabbalah, Jungian psychology, and the traditional Tarot. The accompanying book includes detailed descriptions of the origin and history of the symbols depicted on each card of this unique deck, as well as explanations of their meanings in divinatory spreads. The minor arcana is focused in nature, with the suits represented by stones, rivers, trees, and birds.
