Mystical Shaman Oracle: A 64-Card Deck and Guidebook

At first I was put off by these cards - the price, then the limited imagery.. or so i thought.. BUT! I am now a fan.. I got to have a feel for them on a w/shop, where they randomly showed up.. i only got to see a few images, but they kinda stuck in my mind, so i ordered a set. They are lovely, the packaging is really excellent and beautiful, the imagery is delightful, earthy, deep, magical and reverent, much more going on in there if you take the time to look & ask the image.. the write ups are good, perfect for what you need. I actually like the books direct simplicity - they do not say too much, but what they say is enough! It means you have the opportunity to exercise your intuition rather than be spoon fed the reading! The only thing i would of changed, thought a bit more about was the quality of the paper/card of the book and cards as it doesn't match the quality packaging and could be a lot better and nicer.. but otherwise i really like their energy and there intent, they work great with my crystal mandala oracle set and coupled with an animal medicine set and a few other they are great.. they seem to have found their home in my card collection and will have much use.. so thank you for these delights :-)

This is my first set of oracle cards. I am very fussy about the artwork and quality, and I loved the fact that this was a pack created by three people very well known for their intuition and spiritual sensitivity. I also am happy they are not ‘angel’ cards because personally I don’t really relate to angels, as such; I am much more drawn to ‘spirit’. These also draw inspiration from native traditions across the world and are not only Native American, and I appreciate that also, although there is more emphasis on Native American, which suits me down to the ground.I am so impressed. The quality is topnotch. The artwork is extremely good. There are only two pictures that I don’t particularly like, out of 64 cards. I can ponder the images for ages and perceive all kinds of helpful things before I even read the accompanying booklet. So far i have been blown away by how accurate the readings are. The very first card I drew was also the one I was most drawn to when perusing the pack before I began using it. I then drew the same card the following day, and twice more since then, over a very short period of time.They already feel so sacred to me. These cards are fast becoming an important tool for me to receive messages from the world of Spirit. I am cautious not to rely on them for all my decisions and choices, but rather use them for confirmation, or for a first message which then receives confirmation by other means and methods. After all, it’s our own inner wisdom we are learning to trust and hear, and these cards are a wonderful way to facilitate this sacred intention.The only disadvantage, which may be common to many oracle cards: I wouldn’t know, is that they are quite large and such good quality that they feel a bit like very thin wood. Shuffling is surprisingly ok, but spreading the cards is a bit tricky; they tend to clump together a little.

A fabulous Shamanic deck .. That is in high quality matt card stock and great key words on each card .. This is a firm favourite of mine .. The artwork has a very moody feel and the shamanic energy is there .. Great guide book and well worth the price I paid .. Love this deck and I use it often .. I only kept the small box and cards and book .. The big box was recycled as I didn’t have room to store it .. But it did keep my cards, small box and book, safe for shipping so no fears of dented deck box for my this time .. I really hate to receiving a dented deck box .. I only have a couple in my collection but it really bothers me ..

I ordered this card pack yesterday and it was delivered today. I'm over the moon with the quality of the product. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny in my opinion. Granted, I'm only looking at this product from a purely aesthetic view which might be regarded as shallow, but I need to have a strong visual attraction to the cards in order to have a connection to them and I think we're off to a good start! I've read some of the more negative reviews on here regarding the lack of content of the guidebook and the "sugar-coated" designs and I think they're all valid points, however, I think if you have a strong connection to the cards themselves, then the meaning will come through your intuition. With many card decks, I just couldn't get that initial connection, but these cards immediately grabbed me through their mixed-media type designs. I've taken photos of all the cards laid out on the floor for you to see. I think they're just stunning! The cards have a lovely silky matte finish with rounded corners and they come in their own sturdy little storage box within the larger box. I carefully took out the inside of the larger box and now I have beautiful storage box as well! Update: Since publishing this review I have also discovered Colette's YouTube channel - she does weekly readings with different packs (sometimes with this particular pack) and you can learn a lot from them!

I love these cards. They came beautifully packaged and a day earlier than expected. I loved the detail and thought that has gone into this product. I wish all packaging was as good as this oracle cards. They come in a magnetic box and there is an outer sleeve too. Within the magnetic box, there is the guide which you can easily take out by pulling a green ribbon. Undrneeth the guide, you will find another box and in it you have the oracle cards. You can easily lift the cards again by pulling the green ribbon. So much thought and love has gone into this spiritual tool that I can honestly say it’s one of my favourite things that has come through the post. The cards are thick and of a great quality as is the printing on them. I looked at each card and I was immediately picking up on small details and hidden meanings. Thank you all for creating this beautiful tool. The love that has gone into it is evidently present in everything.

As yet, I have only used cards three times by selecting one from the fanned cards. The accuracy of the messages received has surprised me. The "name" of my first card was a word used in a context I had never thought of but I understood the meaning and this was emphasised further when a couple of days later I came across this spiritual meaning of this everyday word in a book unrelated to shamanism. This had significance for me. The next two cards were also relevant to my questions, although the third was not entirely the answer I was hoping for. However, I recognised the truth of it and felt more comfortable with my approach to life. I admit I am amazed at the relevant answers I have been given thus far. I tend not to accept everything I come across in mystical matters but the appropriateness of my cards up to now have startled me whilst making me feel I am on the right track. The cards are beautifully designed and the accompanying book is well presented and explanatory. Pleased I bought this set.

So I bought the cards wanting a shamanic link in my card readings and they work fine and some of the readings were very insightful but the cards are Matt and the pictures a little undefined for me so in the end they didn’t work for me - this is a preference thing not a reflection on the cards or book ,I sold them in the end

One morning a few weeks ago I decided I needed a new pack of Oracle Cards. My favourite pack was Collette’s Wisdom of The Hidden Realms and Alberto’s Healer Shaman Sage was my initial introduction to Shamanism. So, I turned to Amazon looking for inspiration and the first pack to be presented to me was the Mystical Shaman Oracle Cards bringing together both Collette and Alberto and someone I hadn’t met before, Marcela Lobos which were due to be released on 27th March 2018 (today). The order was placed immediately. The cards arrived this morning and they are, as I have already intimated, simply exquisite - right down to the box that the cards and accompanying guidebook fit into and the beautiful ribbons holding them in place. And then we get to the cards themselves - so very beautiful and so thought provoking. I know that I will be working with these cards well into the future and that I will be gaining more and more insights into my self as I do so. I am tempted to order packs for all of my family so that they can share in the wonder but that decision is for another day.

J'adore les illustrations de ce deck, les couleurs sont magnifiques, le thème, tout est beau. C'est un magnifique coffret de collection, illustré par Jena DellaGrottaglia et créé par Alberto Villoldo, Colette Baron-Reid et Marcela Lobos. Le coffret est accompagné d'un Guidebook et une petite boite avec les cartes.Sinon, les cartes et livre sont en anglais, mais celui-ci est assez facile à comprendre, il y a une petite explication de comment il fonctionne et exemple de tirage. L'interprétation des cartes est divisée en trois :- The essence, à lire en toute circonstance en premier, elle fait passer le message de la carte.- The invitation: à lire seulement si carte est à l'endroit, parle des dons que l'Esprit Shaman de la carte vous offre à ce moment précis, c'est un appel à l'action.- The medecine: à lire seulement si la carte est inversée, indique l'aspect, le domaine de la vie ou des relation qui doivent être équilibrés ou remplacés.Il faut vraiment faire un tirage avec les cartes dans les deux sans pour pouvoir bénéficier de toutes les interprétations, le deck possède 64 cartes, mais en les mettant à l'envers c'est un peu comme si le nombre dupliqué.Elles se mélangent bien, mais avec le temps, le mélange se fera plus facilement.Certaines cartes ne font pas vraiment Shaman, mais je relève, cela n'enlève en rien de sa beauté. Le coffret est un peu trop gros sans réelle nécessité, juste pour ceux qui ne veulent pas trop d'encombrement, ça peut-être un moins.

These cards are quite beautiful. I’ve used them with many people and they reasonate with me more than other cards I’ve used. I’ve introduced people who were very sceptical about tarot or oracle cards to these cards and they also found they resonated and friends often ask me to read from this deck for them. The upright and reversed readings (called invitation and medicine) are well written. The medicine is helpful and even when not something you want to hear, leaves a sense of hope- it is medicine- it may be unpleasant but if you take it, improvement should occur.

Oh this is big!A heavyweighter in many ways!Deep wisdom! Beautiful pictures and the book is fantastic. C B R has created yet another masterpiece!The only thing that is a tiny minus: the cards stuck together and are hard to shuffle, even after some time of use.I just hope that will become better.But that would not prevent me from buying this deck again!

Está hermoso! Viene con una caja muy bonita que cuida el libro guía del oráculo y además las cartas... Las ilustraciones y la impresión es mate y de muy buena calidad. La interpretación que ofrece el libro es muy bonita y tiene un buen significado estudiado desde lo sociológico y desde el inconsciente colectivo. MUY RECOMENDABLE, EXCELENTE CALIDAD!

Love these cards. They lean towards a more intuitive reading rather than strictly by the book allowing a more organic format of reading. The artwork is beautiful and the cards are a larger format on thick card stock with a matte finish. A reader can simply adhere to the book’s explanations but the imagery is primal enough to instigate a natural insight which augments readings beyond the basic explanations given. If a person collects oracle decks for the artwork this will be a great addition. If a person loves using oracle decks that operate within a framework that allows for intuitive expansion then this deck is for them as well.
