lark
I find these a lot more consistent than Shining Tribe - I bought that a few years ago hoping to find ancient wisdom from prehistoric times but the guidebook was crammed with confusing mythology from virtually every religion that's ever been invented, and I couldn't read the images without looking in the book to find out what all the crudely drawn coloured dots and squiggles meant, so I sold it in the end. The images of the Shaman's Oracle by themselves don't stimulate great wisdom within me, but they're all derived from genuine cave art and the text in the book offers very clear and straightforward advice with no mumbo jumbo. It's also a nice book, hardback with colour images of the cards and well laid out .
I think that is the point with cave art...those weird dots and squiggles did have a meaning...and we just scratch our heads and guess at what it could be.
Any little insight is a bonus.
If we drew icon symbols or texting lingo on a wall centuries from now people would be making oracle decks out of it and wondering what it all meant.
I love to think cave art had a deep mystical meaning...but maybe be it was just a bunch of teenagers goofing around in a cave.
Shining Tribe is a hard deck to work with, but as a interesting pull it out once in awhile deck I like it, you often get profound reading from decks like that.
