Re-published due to the large demand, this is a new publication of a previously published deck. This has been revised a bit. One of the most noteworthy changes is the removal of the border on each 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.

The deck comes with a 32-page booklet.

Rods/Wands show African culture
Cups show European culture
Sacred Circles (Pentagrams) show America Indigenous culture

The cards are quite large and may prove challenging to shuffle for those with smaller hands, but the end result is worth the extra effort.

I recommend trying these out for a Samhain ritual for contacting your ancestors.
