Medicine Cards: The Discovery of Power Through the Ways of Animals

From some of the reviews, it seemed like all versions of this item contained both book and cards. So I purchased the “Paperback” version as it was cheaper. Sure enough, it came packaged in a box that included the hardcover book and the cards. I love these cards! I have had the cards for a while and purchased a new set because I lost the book for the old set. I read the cards for myself. When I am confused by life, I find that doing a reading for myself with the animal cards really helps a lot. I love the messages in the book that comes with the cards. The messages are gentle and positive. There are several layouts (spreads) for the cards explained in the book. I usually do the Mother Earth, Father Sky spread, which involves two cards and is simple and helpful. Today I tried the Medicine Wheel spread, involving 5 cards, and that layout is great, as well. This is my favorite Oracle deck, and I have a lot of them.

All I can say is, WOW!!!!!!! I connected with these beautiful cards the FIRST time, I touched them. The Native American look and feel of these beautiful is just what the Native Amercian culture is ALL ABOUT. I have Native American blood is my...So, I guess I am bias....But, the Native American images on these cards REALLY resonate with me. And the book is equally impressive! Inspired me to get out my books on Shamanism and read them again...So, these cards can REALLY BE used for inspiration. The way, the authors describe each card is highly impressive. These will be my FAVORITE CARDS. A BIG THANK YOU to the authors and an EVEN BIGGER THANK YOU to Amazon for selling them...Y'all are awesome! :) You NEED to get these cards. These cards have so MUCH to teach us! A satisfied customer is RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!

I was first introduced to this book in a spiritual retreat and heard about how the messages of nature and animals are used to help us on our spiritual and individual paths of growth. During that class I had an experience of a swan swimming in front of me in an unusual place and when I was meditating. I looked up the story about Swan in this book and was awe struck at the absolutely clear and perfect message of it for what I was needing then, and have continued to see is so important in my life right now. Her story of surrender is very meaningful to me. I love how the authors have taken the traditional stories and brought so much to it. I also have experimented with the other ways of using the cards (which I love their graphics). I read in some of the reviews that these are not as good as it isn't written by Native Americans. However, I have full blood Native American friends and one is a counselor who have been using this book and cards for many years. Their comment was you don't have to be Native in order to know the truth about nature and that the research and extensive love that has gone into this with the results being impactful is the true test. I found that in most part the animal messages are the same in several of the books I have read by Natives, but this one expands and resonates with me the most.

Beautiful! They finally arrived and I am so happy!! I owned them once before but I gifted them to someone else, long ago… it’s like seeing an old friend! Thank you!

I love these cards! I had my first set years ago and I’m very happy with this replacement

Ought the paperback version. It came as a set inside the box at the top of the photo. Excited to dive in!

Look beautiful and came with hard cover book Very very nice. Have not tried yet

got the "card" option and it came with book and card set. shipped/sold through amazon. first thing that always catches my eye on packaging is that "Made in" branding. In this case, China. Upon opening the fresh deck and slightly shuffling them, the corner edges from one layer (artwork side) started to chip off on multiple cards. Kind of disappointing for 30$. But I guess it's all about the content and utilization of this deck which could be priceless. I chose to create my totem pole using youtube channel Decode your Reality explanation (title: HOW TO DECODE YOUR TOTEM POLE (featuring Santos Bonacci)) I did this under a SITS ASCENSION PYRAMID from twistedsage. aligned pyramid faces with proper North orientation. (Could be overkill, but if I going down power animal spirit lane, and you only perform this once in your life, might as well go deep into it..) The resulting totem pole resonated with me pretty well. pretty amazing I pulled my Chinese zodiac sign card equivalent! pulled it as 4th card so about 1in49 chance. pulled my birth day number too, 2nd card, 1in51 chance. best of luck on your life path journey!

Le figure sono molto belle , il libro un po’ complicato ma consigliato per chi ha la passione delle carte

Excelente

One of the most beutiful animal tarrots there is. Beutiful drawings, the little book with the medicine messages is so nice to read. Just a really nice gift, for yourself and others.

Estoy facinada!!!

ボディ・トークの施術者と相互施術をしています（私の方はホメオパシー）。ボディー・トークに興味を持ち、説明会とアクセス講座までは受講済みでしたが、受けた事は一度もありませんでした。私よりも夫が受けた方が良いと言う思いがあり、夫も施術者が女性であるので恥ずかしいやら、気おくれしてしまって時間がたってしまったのもありました。 相互施術をする事の良さは、お互いの施術の共通点、発見を見出させる事です。 その施術者の方が持っていたのが、メディスン・カード。他のカードもありましたが、私は何となくこのカードが気になりました。 その日は夫の施術でご自宅にうかがっていて、施術の間カードを見て、解説書を読んでいました。 おもしろいなぁと。「これは手に入れないと」そう思いました。 日本製は絶版で中古本が約2万円もするので手が出ませんでしたが、アマゾンのレビューに大いに助けられました。 レビューを読む事で、買っていいか否かを判断できるし、それが分かって後、出品者（古本屋さん）にも問い合わせも出来て、ありがたい事の中古本だけど日本で買う事ができました。新品は海外発送なので、送料が高くかかりますから、本当に助かりました。 中古本ですが、とてもきれいな状態でした。 残念なのは英語が読めない事ですが、レビューを書いていた方のコメント（解説本としてこの本がお勧め）も参考になります。この方は山川亜希子さんの「スピリットアニマルの見つけ方」を勧めていました。 ボディ・トークの施術者の方が持っていた解説書はコピーしたものでした（その方も日本語版は持っていなかった）。 今、彼女にその解説書はその本なのかを聞いているところですが、ちょっと違っていたかも･･･。 まあ、どちらにししても、楽しみなところです。 英語、できればなぁ････と思いますね。（残念！）
