A richly illustrated tarot deck by Four Winds founder Alberto Villoldo, combining traditional tarot archetypes with the sacred symbols present in one of the world’s most ancient wisdom traditions—shamanism.
Before the dawn of time, before space and galaxies were formed, there were the sacred symbols. Then, the sages read the signs of destiny in the sacred symbols and heard the voice of spirit in the wind. Now, those symbols have been lost to many of us—but not the sages from the Andes and the Amazon, cartographers of the invisible world. Here, those symbols are brought to life within the tarot. Each card is infused with rich imagery drawn from these ancient cultures and inspired by both the tarot of Marseilles and the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot.
By working with this deck, you can turn chaos into cosmos, find beauty and harmony in creation, and embrace your feelings and experiences, allowing them to flow through you rather than holding you captive. Through this journey, you will discover the teachings the Universe offers and transform them into wisdom-bliss, empowering you to become a co-creator with Spirit. As you learn the language of the sacred symbols, you will cultivate a deeper understanding of your potential and how to dance harmoniously with the unseen forces that shape your reality.
Alberto Villoldo has trained as a psychologist and medical anthropologist, and has studied the healing practices of the Amazon and the Andean shamans. Dr. Villoldo directs the Four Winds Society, where he trains individuals in the U.S. and Europe in the practice of shamanic energy medicine. He is the founder of the Light Body School, which has campuses in New York, California, Miami, and Germany. Dr. Villoldo has written numerous best-selling books, including Shaman, Healer, Sage; Grow a New Body; and Power Up Your Brain.
Patricia Gift is the VP & Publisher of Hay House and brings a blend of cross-cultural insight and practical guidance to her teaching. In addition to immersing herself for over ten years in the shamanic wisdom of Alberto Villoldo, PhD and the medicine people of the Andes and Amazon, she has also studied the ancient practices of Tibet for several decades with Bon Buddhist teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. In her publishing career, she has focused on the self-help, spirituality, and wellness genres, championing voices that give readers the tools to transform their lives. Through her dedication to preserving and sharing these rich wisdom traditions, Patricia serves as a bridge between ancient teachings and the modern seeker.
