SOMETHING DIFFERENT


Now here is an interesting twist on the tarot from the Amazonian jungles of Peru. 
While studying Amazonian shamans who use ayahuasca and Peruvian coastal healers who use mescaline cactus to treat psychological illness, Marlene Dobkin de Rios learned about the naipes cards - fortune-telling cards similar to the tarot used as part of the healers' method of diagnosis. Immersing herself in their culture, she began telling fortunes with the naipes cards and was surprised by the intimacy it induced in the native people she was trying to study as well as the profoundly accurate results she encountered. Finding herself pulled further and further into Peruvian culture, in 1977 Dobkin de Rios was initiated into the sacred mystical order of Septrionismo, which emphasises specific techniques - such as meditation, ritual and reflection - to manage one's future rather than depending solely on fate and fortune.

For those of you that wish to broaden your understanding of all types of divination, this book may be of interest.

NEW ARRIVALS FOR MARCH

THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR TAROT ushers us through the four seasons - a passage of time marked by hope, abundance, reflection and rebirth - and reminds us of our enduring connection to the earth. Vibrant watercolor imagery, rich in detail and symbolism, transports us to a timeless realm steeped in the beauty and wisdom of nature.




FIRE TAROT
The birth of fire is revived in this deck through the myths and legends of indigenous cultures: the sacred fire of religions, the pagan fires of sacrifice, the illuminating fires of understanding. In the vortex of the flames we come into contact with the mysteries of creation and destruction, illuminating our minds with a spark of knowledge.
