SynopsisThis book and beautifully illustrated deck draw on the ancient Lakota ritual of healing and purification known as the sacred Inipi, or sweat lodge ceremony, which has existed in the Lakota culture for thousands of years. The cards and accompanying book comprise a self-contained and highly original system that will help you harness creative energies to deal with issues that are of concern in your life. Used for self-discovery rather than divination, the cards gently guide you toward inner growth and self-knowledge in the time-honored tradition of the Lakota people. Fifty cards, illustrated in vibrant color, access the powerful symbols and teachings of the Inipi, capturing the spirit of this ancient ceremony. In a variety of spreads the authors show you how the cards can provide you with an expanded vision of your being and purpose, offering an intimate sense of walking in balance between the conscious world and the world of spirit. Publication coincides with the U.N. Year of Indigenous People. Archie Fire Lame Deer is one of the leaders of the Native American spirituality movement.
An amazing body of work, both written, and visually. The beautiful artwork masterfully illustrates the spiritual concepts of the Sioux.
I purchased this book and included cards for a friend whom is very spiritual, and immersed in meditation. She owns seven other decks of cards, including one other that is of native American origin. She is completely overwhelmed by not only the content of the book, but the stupendous artwork. Highly recommended!
