• Curated by Francesca Matteoni, with a doctorate in modern history and academic publications on the anthropology of magic and mysticism
• These oracle cards can be used to begin exploring the world and oneself by drawing inspiration from shamanic culture
• The booklet can stand alone as a complete tool to learn about and from real shamans and their sacred elements

Who are shamans? What do they do? Healers. Masters of secret and sacred elements. But do we really know their stories? We hear about them from researchers, poets, ecologists and spiritualists, during an era in which re-establishing a conscious contact with our world is essential.

This 50 card oracle deck depicts real Shamans (both famous and lesser known), sacred plants, animals, and the places that inspire them – all explained in an accompanying full coloured booklet.
