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.

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

I love Jamie's cards and I use them daily.

Speaking as a Shaman with over 30 years experience, I highly recommend this wonderful deck of cards to anyone interested in improving their lives, in getting in touch with animal mentors, in learning to communicate with animals, and mostly, in learning how to help others.

beautiful cards. Interesting book. had many dream of spirit animals after reading book.

I have used the medicine cards myself and found the results of the spreads to be helpful and right on target. But I have also used them in another way. They worked very well in a group therapy session on a rehab unit where we passed around the easier cards, such as self esteem and boundaries, etc. and got the patients talking about how such topics affected their lives. They enjoyed the discussion as it was a totally different approach and were still talking about it several weeks later.

This is a deck that I was able to apply to my life right away. I asked for my animal totems and from the cards, I was able to understand aspects of myself that I was aware of but never really examined. For example, one of my totems was the coyote - the joker animal and it explained alot of my self sabotaging behavior! I love these cards because I was able to learn from the spirits embodied by each creature and as a result, I feel much closer to them in my daily life. I used to take animals and creatures around me for granted, but now I have learned a greater appreciation of them.

If you have ever wondered why certain animals appear frequently to you or you have figurines of them arrond you....You must check this book out. If you haven't been to interested in Native American beliefs wait until you connect with this book and set of cards. VERY EASY to read and understand.....

I find the Medicine cards to be an excellent source to use weekly or even daily. They are gentle in their approach and beautifully designed. The medicine deck is easy to master and is appealing to most people. They don't scare people away like the more traditional tarot decks. I highly recommend this deck for beginners and professionals alike!!

I have been using these cards for several years now and though they are supposed to be for entertainment only, I, and others, have found them to be so very appropriate to current trends in our daily lives. We never stop learning!!!
