Ancestral Path Tarot
A beautiful Tarot deck that is especially appreciated by those with an interest in the history of various cultures, including ancestry of Japan, Britain, the Native American, Egyptian, and African culture.  It's a deck that speaks to those who would like to see all cultures live together in harmony while still keeping their own identities and history alive.

From the Title Card:  "The Ancestral Path Tarot by Julie Cuccia-Watts threads together the diverse beliefs of various cultures in order to find commonalities of experience between them.  It examines the traditions of our ancestors through mythology to reclaim a personal spirituality that enables us to perceive the divine in ourselves and others."
"The Ancestral Path Tarot emphasizes the living tradition of all human cultures for us to factor into our world view.  The deck portrays paths created by ancestors of different times and cultures for our consideration." --Deck by Julie Cuccia-Watts

Ancient Egyptian Tarot
One of the more popular Egyptian-themed decks available today.  This deck was originally published in 1994 and was reprinted in 2002.  The cards are rich in Egyptian myth and lore with sharp, detailed colors and imagery.  Because the cards are so rich in detail, it's a wonderful deck for intuitive readings, especially for those who appreciate the history of Ancient Egypt.

From the back of the box:  "In this beautiful re-working of the Tarot, author and artist Clive Barrett has come full circle, returning the Tarot to the land of its ancestors.  Taking over five years to research and paint, he has painstakingly pieced together Egyptian life and mythology, basing his designs on archaeological knowledge and historical fact."
"The accompanying book gives one of the fullest yet most concise histories of the Tarot ever written, instructions on how to use the deck, and full background information about the characters and scenes depicts on each of the 78 cards.  Following the arrangement of 'traditional' Tarots, making it compatible with most standard decks and instruction books, this is an ideal pack for anybody who wants to learn about Tarot for the first time."  --Deck by Clive Barrett

Gendron Tarot
A very beautiful and intriguing deck which is ideal for intuitive readings.  Melanie Gendron created the Gendron Tarot Deck using a combination of collage, photographs, paintings, and drawings.  Her art portrays a blend of cultures from all over the world.  The effect of her artwork made for a soft and mystical deck that is both attractive and fascinating to work with.  Each card is unique, making it a very special deck.

Inscription of Title Card:  "I am that which emanates beauty and all manner of life, moon, dancing stars, abundant earth, ocean's depth to match my heart.  I pierce the void and multiply variety innumerable.  I am love without condition for I am all that is.  Every act of love celebrates my spirit.  I am guidance, sanctuary, your highest self; I am the way home.  Hear my call and come to me for we've been separate only in dreams."  --Deck by Melanie Gendron

The Star That Never Walks Around Tarot
A very insightful Native American Tarot Deck!  This deck is a round one, and is actually easier to use than one might think.  The round cards echo the influence of Mother Earth and reveal the waxing and waning influences of the 78 images.

From the back of the box: "When the great buffalo herds roamed the earth, the tribes of the Great Plains followed them, guided by the North Star -- The Star That Never Walks Around.  In the spirit of her forebears, Stella Bennett has transformed the traditional western tarot (which she's been reading for more than 50 years) into a guide and oracle based on Native American totems and teachings."  --Deck by Stella Bennett

Vision Quest Tarot
This is truly a most beautiful deck inspired by Native American wisdom and tradition.  The rich colors and detail on each card create a very meaningful and intuitive deck.  The colors are vivid, yet gentle and calming.  Readers and seekers both can feel a sense of comfort and peace with this magnificent Tarot deck.

From the Little White Book:  "The Vision Quest Tarot wants to serve you as a friendly guide, a benefactor, who helps you understand the opportunities which present themselves daily, and not just with your head but directly with your heart.  It lets you perceive your own being in a new, visionary light.  It reveals ways of dealing with your problems more creatively and most importantly, with a big-picture awareness.  It triggers your own inherent understanding and lets it come to the forefront.  The Tarot points out how to face challenges with much greater ease by clearly seeing what certain situations can teach and add to you.  Instead of fighting life's constant, inevitable changes, you are encouraged to integrate every new development into the wholeness that you are." --Deck by Gayan S. Winter and Jo Dose

Wheel of Change Tarot
Here is a deck that represents many different cultures and ways of life through the colorful art and symbolism.  Variety is found through this Tarot deck, as artist and author Alexandra Genetti wanted to create a new and different Tarot -- one that is intellectually rigorous, yet consistent and straightforward.  She wanted her creation to express elements of the modern world as well as contemporary life, but also relate to our history and evolution.  Designing her own unique expression still allowed her to maintain tradition, keeping to the ancient form as much as possible without renaming Tarot cards and suits.  This is definitely an interesting and unique deck that offers something different along with tradition.

From the back of the boxed set:  "Ten years in the making, the Wheel of change Tarot turns the art of Tarot into a means of bringing greater richness and meaning to everyday life.  In brilliant, detailed watercolors, Alexandra Genetti captures the full scope of human experience.  Images from cultures around the world combine to make a deck rich with the archetypes for a new millennium."  --Deck and art by Alexandra Genetti
