- Spirits Ancestors Hunters Dancers & Shamans
- each representing a different aspect of human experience Two further cards
- the Journeyer & the Helper
- represent the person who is conducting the reading the Seeker As the cards are drawn they reveal insights that will help to guide the Seeker on his or her quest for the answers to life's most vital questions The images are not only beautiful atmospheric & mysterious but they also touch on the deepest memories we all possess
- the unconscious archetypes that influence our thoughts feelings & actions at the deepest level of being
