Review
After many years of adventure and travel, Archie has returned to his native South Dakota to make his permanent home among the Sioux people with his wife, Sandy, and their three children, John, Josephine, and Sarah. He is bringing up John to be his successor as healer and teacher; already he runs sweats and has "pierced" in the Sundance. Thus, generations of Lame Deers have followed, and will continue to follow, the way of the Lakotas. -- About the Author
He has been instrumental in bringing Native religion into jails and in reforming laws so that medicine men can go into prisons to conduct ceremonies. He has also been very active in recovery programs for Native Americans who are alcoholics. Archie has joined the ranks of other spiritual leaders, such as the Dalai Lama, in the quest for world peace, while always remaining a traditional Sioux medicine man. He is the kuwa kiyapi, or intercessor, for the yearly Lakota Sundance and is the official representative for the Sacred Buffalo Calf Pipe at Crow Dog Sundance. -- From the Publisher
We are living in a time when 'medicine' people of diverse traditions are revealing many of their sacred ceremonies for the benefit of the larger world. In keeping with this spirit, these beautiful divination cards are offered to help us reestablish an empathetic with the Earth and all her inhabitants. -- Rochelle Gordon, Editor, Body Mind Spirit

Book Description
This book and beautifully illustrated deck draw on the ancient Lakota ritual of healing and purification known as the sacred Inipi, or sweat lodge ceremony, which has existed in the Lakota culture for thousands of years. The cards and accompanying book comprise a self-contained and highly original system that will help you harness creative energies to deal with issues that are of concern in your life. Used for self-discovery rather than divination, the cards gently guide you toward inner growth and self-knowledge in the time-honored tradition of the Lakota people.
Fifty cards, illustrated in vibrant color, access the powerful symbols and teachings of the Inipi, capturing the spirit of this ancient ceremony.
In a variety of spreads the authors show you how the cards can provide you with an expanded vision of your being and purpose, offering an intimate sense of walking in balance between the conscious world and the world of spirit.
Publication coincides with the U.N. Year of Indigenous People.
Archie Fire Lame Deer is one of the leaders of the Native American spirituality movement.

The Best Tarot I Own,
This review is from: Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards (Paperback)
This is one of the most powerful tarots I have ever worked with. Not only is it good for divination, but it also gives you positive affirmations, and even some ritual ideas for getting your own answers. If you are on a spiritual path that favors divination and self exploration this is a must have.

Watch out, because these cards will hook you.,

This review is from: Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards (Paperback)
My favorite tarot deck was the OSHO Zen Tarot, but the Sweat Lodge cards are much more powerful. These cards gave me an insight into a meditation and riutal that I should do. It was one to heal and calm. Well I couldn't figure out what it was about, but soon dicovered why I needed it. I highly recommend this deck.

Oh, please! More wannabee new-age stuff.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards (Paperback)
People see the author's name and assume the book/cards have some sort of legitimacy as representatyions of American Indian traditions. But this EXACTLY the sort of cultural misappropriation that we have been resisting for decades--the endless charade of "shamans," hucksters, new-age "culture vultures" and mysticism-disguised-as-Indianism (tarot with a feather on it!). Please, readers, understand that this is NOT a fair, accurate, useful, or even respectful representation of Lakota (or ANY Indian) traditions. Go read some Vine Deloria, jr. or James Treat instead.
