Ancestral Path Tarot
I really like this deck. It is multi-cultural deck with stunning artwork. All cards have pictures, including the pips. Suits are swords represented by Japanese culture, staves represented by Egyptian/Nubian culture, Cups represented by European (and possibly Nordic) culture, and sacred circles represented by Native American culture. The major arcana consists of a diverse group, including: American, Middle-Eastern, European, African, Native American and Egyptian.
The images inspire creativity and intuition. I find ample symbolism throughout, and appreciate the new approach to some of the cards. For instance, the Hanged One is a fetus. How fitting. =)
The cards are of heavy, durable stock which will stand up to shuffling well. They are slightly wider than standard playing card size, which took me a bit of getting used to. However, with a little practice, they became quite easy to handle.
I recommend this deck for readers from novice to advanced, and for clients of all walks of life. There are only a couple of nudes, very tastefully done. For instance, Strength is topless; however, she is tribal African, so it isn't gratuitous nudity.
All in all, this is a lovely, workable deck.
