Shamanic Oracle: Connect to the Medicine of the Earth
The Shamanic Oracle is a collaboration between author Magali Tamani, who grew up in the volcanic Massif Central region of France, and illustrator Luis Tamani, whose art draws directly from his indigenous Peruvian cultural and spiritual roots. Luis's illustrations are vibrant, nature-saturated works referencing plant spirits, animal guides, and the elemental forces central to Amazonian and Andean shamanic traditions. The deck was published by Rockpool Publishing in August 2025 and contains 36 cards organized into four elemental families of nine cards each.
The four card families are Roots Protectors (earth), Wind Arcana (air), Spirit Messengers (fire), and Wisdom Watchers (water). Each card carries its elemental symbol, a number, a one or two word theme, and a short affirmation, making the deck accessible to beginners while offering enough layered symbolism for experienced readers. The cards measure approximately 3.54 inches by 5.04 inches, slightly larger than a standard oracle deck, which gives Luis Tamani's detailed botanical and spirit imagery the space it needs. Silver-gilded edges and heavy card stock round out a production that feels ceremonial rather than commercial.
Working with the Four Elemental Families
Each family carries a distinct quality: Roots Protectors offer grounding and protection guidance, Wind Arcana brings introspection and mystery, Spirit Messengers ignite inner fire and compassion, and Wisdom Watchers carry the teachings of water, including intuition and flow. The 144-page guidebook explains each card's illustration in detail, including a note from Luis about his artistic inspiration for that image, which gives readings an unusual depth. The guidebook also provides four spreads, from a single-card draw to a four-card elemental layout.
Reversed cards are treated as offerings of greater assistance rather than negative indicators, aligning with the shamanic worldview that difficulty and resistance are teachers rather than obstacles. This deck works naturally alongside plant medicine journeys, breathwork, or any practice oriented toward reconnecting with the natural world.

How to Use the Shamanic Oracle
Use these steps to open a meaningful session with the Shamanic Oracle and its four elemental card families.
-
Connect with the Cards Before Your First Pull
The guidebook recommends shuffling before use to dissolve previous energies and attune to the cards. Hold the deck, focus on an intention or open-ended question, then cut. This grounding mirrors how many shamanic traditions open ceremony space.
-
Form an Open Question and Draw Your Cards
Closed yes-or-no questions limit what this deck offers. Form an open question such as what medicine does this situation carry. Draw one to four cards depending on the spread. The elemental symbol adds context about the quality of guidance received.
-
Read the Artist's Inspiration Alongside the Meaning
Luis Tamani includes notes explaining the cultural references in each illustration. Reading alongside the divinatory meaning creates richer understanding. Questions posed in each card description help you access experience you may have set aside.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock the Shamanic Oracle because Luis Tamani's illustrations are genuinely rooted in indigenous Peruvian tradition rather than being a Western approximation of shamanic imagery. When the art and the tradition it represents are actually connected, the deck reads differently, and reviewers consistently note that the cards surface relevant guidance in ways that feel direct rather than generic. The 144-page guidebook justifies the deck's depth on its own. See my full tarot and divination collection for more nature-based and elemental oracle decks.

The deck draws from the indigenous Peruvian background of illustrator Luis Tamani, including Amazonian and Andean plant spirit traditions. Magali Tamani incorporates broader shamanic concepts around nature connection and elemental medicine.
Yes. Each card includes a short theme and affirmation on the card face, making meanings accessible without the guidebook for every pull. The elemental system is intuitive, and spreads range from a single card to a four-card elemental layout.
The guidebook treats reversed cards as offering greater assistance rather than negative energy. This reflects a shamanic view that difficulty carries medicine. A reversed card invites deeper examination rather than being read as a warning sign.
