Santa Fe Tarot Deck

[Fool] [Ace of Water] Holly Huber and her sister Tracy LeCocq created the Santa Fe Tarot Deck to reflect the Navajo Path of Beauty and Harmony. The images are inspired by Navajo sand paintings and are based on the myths and symbols of this Native American tribe of the Southwest. Many of the major arcana figures are yeis, or "powerful supernatural beings who provide special knowledge." The four suits are rainbows, water, lightning and buffalo. There is a separate companion book for this deck called The Ancestral Path Tarot. This book explores the legends and symbols that inform the Santa Fe Tarot.
