The Shining Tribe Tarot

50,000 years of human spiritual wisdom, distilled into 83 cards.

The Shining Tribe Tarot is one of the most singular and important decks in modern tarot — the deeply personal magnum opus of Rachel Pollack, author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, widely considered the definitive book on tarot. Where that book interpreted the existing tradition, The Shining Tribe is Pollack's own creation: a visionary deck drawn entirely by her hand, pulling from the full sweep of human spiritual art across cultures and millennia.

The imagery reaches into Neolithic rock art, Native American shamanic traditions, African spiritual practices, Aboriginal dreamtime, Kabbalistic mysticism, and Jungian archetypal psychology — not as appropriation, but as recognition of the universal patterns that the shining tribe of human diviners has always tracked. Pollack's hand-drawn illustrations are raw, alive, and unlike anything else in tarot: primitive fish, spiraling rivers of energy, totemic figures, and elemental symbols that feel genuinely ancient and genuinely hers simultaneously.

The deck also expands on traditional tarot structure — 83 cards rather than the standard 78 — and the 272-page full-color guidebook is a complete education in both this specific deck and the deeper currents of divination practice: readings, dream interpretation, card activation, and the cultural and spiritual roots of each symbol.
