5.0 out of 5 stars Medicine Cards: Discovery of Power through the Ways of Anima, January 8, 2002

I love this set, I kept my cards a secret to myself for the first few weeks I had them, but the identification of the reading and the situtaion I was questioning was eerie - so I asked various people who visited if they would not mind having a "Go" with the cards, well now my friends, family and acquaintences beleive I am a Shaman Sacred Card reader, this may be so but I believe it is the book and card set that are the true hero, as long as the person giving the reading has respect for the essense of the set the truth will Out. A teriffic gift to give someone interested in the subject of Native American Wisdom, it is so much fun to see a friends face change into the "Oh my god how did you know that" look. All readings are positive (I don't mean polite I mean give positive guidance for good news or bad) but one would have to be dim not to understand the significance of every card reading. If I can make sense of the set anybody can - The cards are Beautiful and the book print size is big enough for my bad eyesight, for late night reading with a bedside lamp.

I use the "Medicine Cards" along with the "Sacred Path" Cards. I started using them together as recommended by a friend of mine, to help me with the healing process of a divorce. I was amazed at the accuracy of what the cards said I was feeling and what was about to happen. I also took the daily lessons and followed them faithfully. My friends cannot believe the difference in me! I believe these cards can be used for entertainment as well as a "Healing" and Nuturing process for those in need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gentle and easy to use!, June 11, 1997

I have been using this deck of cards for years. I have even made a rabbit-skin bag to keep it in so that I can take them with me wherever I choose to go. The book offeres several forms of readings, some of which are fun, some of which are kinda scary (I still rarely do the one that looks at your subconscious) and all of which are informative. If you draw cards reversed, the book has suggestions on how to right the problems that may be present. All in all, though there are a few corny puns and jokes in the text, it is useful and gentle in it's approach. I would highly recommend this to someone looking to buy a set of cards...it's easier to master than a Tarot deck and less cryptic. Good for beginner and for adept alike
