Added!

Thanks for the input everyone!

Any others that may have been missed?

I completely forgot to mention another deck by Lisa Hunt: The Shapeshifter Tarot. Shapeshifting is one of the practices in shamanism.

Good one- thanks!

Imo, Tarot of Northern Shadows.. Something in it just makes me think of a shamanic stuff. Don't have it, so it's hard to tell more specifically.

Thanks- added to the list!

Any others that people can think of?

I was thinking it would be a cool idea to get a list started- then vote on which ones definitely should be on the list. Perhaps a new theme can be added to AT??? Just a thought.

Forgot to mention: Shamanic Oracle (Wulfing von Rohr and Kenneth Joseph Estrada).
Rather nice set of cards. I even thought to get it for myself, but couldn't find it for a reasonable price [at that particular moment].

Oracle of the Dreamtime and Australian Contemporary Dreamtime Tarot ?

(I am no shaman - but I think they fit...)

That.

And I shall leave it that way very deliberately.

This article may also be of interest.

I'd love to hear more about the reasoning behind categorizing certain decks as shamanic/shamanic feel, as subjective as these reasons may be. Right now, we seem to have a broad mix of decks with a nature/earth emphasis, decks with prehistoric or indigenous art/references, and decks that seem to be about non-ordinary realities. I realize that placing a deck in one of the categories (or not) is all dependent on one's understanding of shamanism, so that's what I'm really getting at: what do we actually mean when we say "shamanic" here?
