Star-Spider Speaks: Teaching of the Native Amer Tarot

The cards illustrate facets of Native American life from all over Turtle Island, now called America. Star Spider Speaks: The Teachings of the Native American Tarot describes in detail the spiritual and artistic riches of Native America, as they are reflected on the cards of the Native American Tarot deck. The lore and symbolism of each card is explored on a historical level, as well as artistically and spiritually. The path of the shaman is described, from its start with 0 The Fool to its triumphal finish at 21 The World. Star-Spider Speaks also includes: spreads created by Star-Spider Woman for the Native American Tarot deck; visualization patterns, using the cards, for Love, Health, Prosperity, Contentment, Enlightenment, Wisdom, Justice, and Abode; a specific meditation for each Higher Arcana card; relationships among the Higher Arcana cards; correlations of other religions and symbols with the Higher Arcana cards. Star-Spider Speaks both immerses the reader in Native American ways and expands traditional interpretations of the tarot. It shows that the Native American Way is not a matter of blood or race, but of Vision. "I see the Rainbow Path as a blending of the ways of all peoples.” -- Star-Spider Woman
