Rating: Summary: Different Review: "The Ancestral Path Tarot" by Tracy Hoover is a book of different nature. An anomaly is that The Hanged Man card is changed to The Hanged One. The first part of this little book gives a brief background of the author & the artist. Also presented is why different aspects of the deck are changed. Part two lists all the Major Arcana cards & their correspondences. The correspondences are broke into several parts "Description," "Cultural Images," "Numerology," & "Trump Correspondences." Part three list all the Minor Arcana (swords, staves, cups, & sacred circles) cards along with their "Description," & "Meaning." Part four of the book gives two sample readings & part five talks about the different spreads. In conclusion this book gives a fresh new look upon the Tarot Cards. However if you are a traditionalist then you'd better look elsewhere. The book didn't seem to be anything special however the cards are very well done with beautiful artwork. I personally enjoy working with Tracey Hoover's Ancestral Path Tarot Cards & I'd recommend them to anyone.

Rating: Summary: Best of my collection Review: I have a collection of >150 tarot cards. My two favorites are the Ancestral Path Tarot and the Gilded Tarot. However, I do not use the books (although both of these decks came with books). I learned to read cards by intuition and perception of the images from the cards themselves, so I have no opinion on the book. These cards are non-traditional, and I find them best suited to spiritual/karmic/life path questions. I would choose another deck for more grounded questions.
Rating: Summary: A truly magnificent deck! Review: The Ancestral Path tarot deck is most definitely one of my favorite tarot decks. The artwork is gorgeous and easily penetrates your subconscious. This deck is a must for collectors. These cards remind us that even though the world is composed of multitudes of cultures, we are all human beings and members of a global village.
Rating: Summary: A beautiful, spiritual deck Review: The Ancestral Path Tarot is a visually stunning and spiritually fascinating deck. The Majors are pretty much standard fare; the figures are in the usual poses, although they are shown as belonging to diverse ethnic groups. For example, the woman depicted on Strength is African; the Empress evokes the Middle Eastern mother goddesses; the Star is a Native American. This is one of the few decks I've seen where the Minors are better than the Majors. The artist and author assign a culture to each of the suits: Egyptian and sub-Saharan African cultures for the Staves; Japanese feudalism for the Swords; the Arthurian legend of Britain for the Cups, and a Native American vision quest for the Sacred Circles (pentacles, traditionally). The art is beautiful, and the pictures evoke deep spiritual meaning. Even the suit of Earth (the Sacred Circles), generally interpreted as being "about money", is here a profound exploration of community, resources, isolation, and discovery. Tracey Hoover, the writer of the accompanying booklet, recommends going through the Minors in reverse order, from 10 to Ace. Going through the Sacred Circles, you see the focus shifting from a community to an individual, a young woman who draws aside into seclusion to meet her spirit guide. I'm no Native American expert, but the cards are moving nonetheless. And all of the other suits are just as good. Because every card carries a deep meaning, this is more a deck for spiritual concerns than for mundane ones. Highly recommended to anyone who uses the Tarot for mystical purposes.
Rating: Summary: Stunning! Review: The artwork in this deck is truly amazing!! They look like tiny oil paintings.. The deck is multi-cultural and has a feel most people can related to.. Sometimes a deck specifically of one culture can alienate those not of that ethnic background... I think those familiar with traditional Rider-Waite cards would have an easy time transitioning to this deck. Highly reccomended!!!!!
