Sioux Shamanic Divination – Fire Lame Deer & Hélène Sarkis – Rare Out-of-Print Edition

A magnificent and now out-of-print collector’s box set published in October 2000 by Guy Trédaniel Éditeur.

This large-format edition contains:

• 50 full-color divination cards
• A richly illustrated 208-page hardcover book (in French)
• Original presentation box

This work is based on the Initipi (Sweat Lodge) rite of the Sioux Lakota tradition. Conceived by Chief Fire Lame Deer and Hélène Sarkis, the cards represent the natural deities of the Sioux pantheon invoked during the sacred rite.

More than a simple oracle, this set offers:
– Meditative guidance
– Symbolic interpretation of each card
– Insight into hidden aspects of the self
– Reflection on the energies of nature
– A glossary of Sioux Lakota terminology

The iconography is powerful and luminous, combining spiritual symbolism with striking color artwork. The accompanying text is dense, didactic, and immersive.

🪶 Collector’s Note

This edition has been out of print for many years and has become increasingly difficult to find complete in box.

Unlike many modern “inspired” oracle decks, this work reflects a particular moment in early 2000s esoteric publishing in France — when large-format spiritual box sets were produced with high editorial ambition.

Its size, weight, and production quality distinguish it from contemporary mass-market oracles. For collectors of:

• Shamanic-inspired decks
• Trédaniel editions
• Early 2000s European esoteric publishing
• Large-format oracle box sets
