⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
While the book excels in offering a warm, inviting introduction to animal spirit work, it may not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or strict historical accuracy regarding indigenous traditions. Those accustomed to the intricate symbolism of traditional tarot might find the system less structured and more abstract than expected. However, for those valuing emotional resonance over technical precision, it is a valuable tool. The expanded deck provides fresh insights, though some may find the reliance on specific 'power' concepts limiting if they prefer neutral divination. Ultimately, it is a supportive guide rather than a definitive scholarly text.
