Reviews

The artwork for the Native American Tarot has been created by Sergio Tisselli, who also created the stunning Vikings Tarot. Like his previous deck, the Native American has a fine, ethereal quality to its art, while still being grounded strongly in the natural world. The skilful depictions of the natural world are painted in muted earthy colours; some very detailed, while others have a misty watercolour look. I’m not sure of the accuracy of this deck’s historical and cultural basis, but from a purely aesthetic standpoint the cards are appealing.

The full deck has 80 cards, including– the “celestial parents”, Mother Earth and Father Sky, which are intended as a positive focal point when they appear in a spread. The 22 major arcana have standard titles but very non-standard images from Native American spirituality and pantheons. Deities and archetypes include:

0 – Divine Trickster: The Fool
I - Kokopelli, the demiurge: The Magician
II – The mother of maize and tobacco: The High Priestess
III – Isnati Awicalowan (female initiation): The Empress
IV – Inipi (male initiation): The Emperor
V – Wicasa Wakan (the medicine man): The Hierophant
VI – The Twins: The Lovers
VII – The Sacred path: The Chariot
VIII – The Totem Pole: Justice
IX – Taikomol (the wayfarer): The Hermit
X – Medicine Wheel: The Wheel of Fortune
XI – Wakan Tanka: Strength
XII – Wagachun (the two-faced tree): The Hanged Man
XIII – The Calendar: Death
XIV – Hunkapi (brotherhood): Temperance
XV – Wanagi Yuhapi (the dance of the spirits): The Devil
XVI – Kachina (the specter): The Tower
XVII – Morning Star: The Star
XVIII – Hamblecha (vision quest): The Moon
XIX: Wiwanyag Wachipi (sun dance): The Sun
XX – Tirawa and the cosmic buffalo: Judgement
XXI – Ta awi cha lowan (the ball game): The World

The suits of the minor arcana are Chalices, Pentacles, Wands and Swords: Chalices are associated with water and zodiacal animals (like the badger, deer and wolf), Pentacles are linked with the earth and nature (bean, maize, fire, tobacco, etc), Wands with fire and objects (mask, arrow, teepee, and shield) and Swords are related to air and totemic animals (such as the rabbit, turkey, fox, horse, and puma). The court cards are Knave, Knight, Queen and King, and all of the minors are fully illustrated in the same style as the majors.

Like most Lo Scarabeo decks, the Native American is packaged with a stapled booklet in five languages. The size of the section in English doesn’t really allow for the communication of much background information and explanation of the chosen symbols and cultural icons, especially as the major arcana cards are altered from the standard and draw on the culture and religious history of several peoples over thousands of years. An example from the booklet:

III – Isnati Awicowan (female initation): The Empress. The moon and the bear allude to the feminine creative power based on weaving. To renew tradition, bringing new energy, one must approach it with a pure heart.

9 of Chalices: Hawk. With the right eye, active during the day (the sun), and the left eye that sees at night (the moon), it symbolizes the superior vision of things.

Father Sky. The sky is the seat of the divine creator, guarantor of the earth’s fertility through rain. From the sky of transcendence and the infinite arrives knowledge and law. Male principle.

I would classify the Native American Tarot as an art deck or a collector’s deck. Given the non-standard imagery and sad lack of companion information, I found it rather difficult to read with the cards, though the art – especially of the Star, the Moon, the Wheel, the Nine of Chalices, and the Eight of Swords – is very appealing.
