5.0 out of 5 stars Been there...done that....Highly recommend 'em, September 11, 2003
By A Customer
As I was reading through the customer reviews for the Sacred Path Cards, I was intrigued by the two reviewers who gave this item 1 star. One reviewer gives everything she reviews 1 star.
The other apparently based her review on reading other reviews vs any first hand knowlege.

I have used Sacred Path Cards for over 10 years and consider them to be an invaluable tool for spiritual growth. These are not meant to be fortune telling cards. To misconstrue this would be like calling your mother a fortune teller because she told you to "bundle up or you'll get sick" on a cold day.

It is difficult to be objective to one's own issues. Our humanness seems to cloud the facts. Lots of people pray for spiritual growth and blame Satan for throwing obstacles in their path when it may just be God answering their prayers. If you don't understand this, I challenge you to pray for the ability to trust God fully. If you're not that brave try praying for patience. Will your discomfort make it more difficult to hear God's guidance?

Sacred Path Cards help cut through the illusions we hold of ourselves. They bypass the tendency of our rational minds to justify and defend our motives or desires and tap into the truth in our own subconscious.

I have always found Sacred Path Cards to provide a dead-on accurate reflection of what is going on in my life. With the accurate reflection also comes "the fix". The future holds the logical consequences of one's actions or inactions. No hocus-pocus involved.

I would liken Ms. Sam's teachings to a Native American version of parable-style teaching. She gives insightful cultural history and mixes it with the lesson(s). The result for me has been the ability to limit the amount of time I would normally spend wallowing in my own misery and allowing me to focus on bringing my life back into balance.

"Thank you, Jamie Sams." is inadequate to express my heartfelt gratitude.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not hocus pocus, July 26, 2000
One of the reviewers spoke for Native Americans who might view these as hocus pocus. As one of this heritage and deeply connected to it, I can say this is not hocus pocus. Cards, feathers, rocks, crystals and a great many other tools are used in reading Mother Earth and her nuances. All provides a message to us in teaching and that is indeed the Native way.

I rather enjoy the cards, when I am centred and holding pure intent...I ask that I receive all messages meant for me. It can come through the cards or not, but always appears to those with hearts and ears willing to hear.

If one is looking for another tool to connect, consider the cards, but with the frame of mind/heart that says these are not to give you THE answer, but an answer...a guide. The rest is yours to do.

Namaste

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sacred Path cards and companion book are fantastic., January 23, 1998
By Una Catania (Silver Spring, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have recently begun using the Sacred Path
cards, companion book, and workbook.
Although I have been reading the Tarot for
several years, it has never been as
accurate and informative as the Sacred Path
cards. The cards are universally
understandable and easily applicable.

I have used the Sacred Path cards with both
the companion book and the workbook.
Each book details various cards spreads
and provides insights into the card meanings.
Both books also detail how to do readings
combining the Sacred Path and Medicine cards.

In the past month, I have done three readings
using three different spreads. Uncannily
I have picked many of the same cards in each
reading, which have ultimately reinforced
a global message. They really have
enabled me to grow and transform during a
very interesting period in my life.

I highly recommend the Sacred Path cards, the
companion book, and the workbook. They have
been invaluable to me in my "personal vision
quest." They will help you to change your
life by the way you perceive yourself and the
world. They will also allow you to perceive
how others view you.

They are thought-provoking and inspiring.
