I love these cards; the energy is beautiful and I've gotten incredible, insightful readings from them. The book is wonderfully detailed and clear in it's presentation. I'm in love with this deck! These are a fantastic oracle set based on the traditional tarot system. Instead traditional tarot suits of Cups, Swords, Pentacles & Wands , there are Winged Ones (birds), The Ancients (amphibians & reptiles), Shape Shifters (insects & arachnids) & The Four Leggeds (mammals). A very thorough covering of all things living & includes many animals that are not in Ted's Animal-Wise book. The two products go hand in hand & add to the value & knowledge of each other. I would recommend getting them both. Excellent for use in personal development & healing of self & others. |

Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards: Paintings by Susan Seddon Boulet |
To the ancients, all things in nature had sacred or spiritual meaning. The world was inhabited by the higher beings, who took the form of fantastical creatures that were part animal, part human, and exceedingly powerful. These beings are the spirit guides who lead the departed to the next life, heal the sick, and restore balance and harmony to a troubled world. The tribal healers knew the animal sprits well. They journeyed beyond the threshold of ordinary reality to invoke the power of these great beings.
The 48 paintings by Susan Seddon Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941-1997) reproduced in this deck resonate with an ethereal energy and speak in the language of the soul. Each image is accompanied by a brief description of the animal's power and symbolism in various cultures. Size: 3/4 x 4 inches.

Druid Animal Oracle Deck by Philip Carr-gorman |
The Druids revered animals as sacred guides, guardians, and protectors. This beautifully illustrated deck and accompanying booklet draws from the wellspring of ancient Celtic tradition, bringing healing and offering intuitive knowledge. From the interpretations of the card spreads and the lore given, one will gain powerful insights and receive positive guidance for the future.
The cards have been drawn using the principles of sacred geometry, a science of great importance to the megalith-building, pre-Celtic Druids, who employed it extensively in the building of stone circles. Each image incorporates the same use of a pentagram, circle and square. The border of the animal cards conveys a message in Ogham—the tree language of the Druids. The animals are presented in a sequence starting with the Blackbird, who stands at the Gateway, the Place of Beginnings, calling us to adventure and change. Journeying to the four other Oldest Animals of Stag, Owl, Eagle, and Salmon, we come to know animals that lead us deeper into the Otherworld, through a cycle of personal change that leads to turning to the outer world again, the empowerment of the four dragons and the concluding card of the Seal—the card of love and the necessity for choice in a world that is both joyous and challenging. The text presents a summary of the Druid, Celtic and native teachings, concerning twenty-nine animals and four dragons. In addition, there are three blank cards that can be used to draw animals that are personal to the reader.
Use the cards as totems or turn to the oracle system provided by the authors. In either case, these Druid animals can provide positive guidance and insights into the inner dynamics behind events in our lives.

The Hawaiian Oracle: Animal Spirit Guides from the Land of Light (Book & Cards) by Rima A. Morrell |
Here, for the first time, is an oracle depicting the spectacular animal spirit guides of Hawaii, gateway to the land of light. The ancient wisdom of these creatures is as relevant today as ever. The Hawaiian Oracle takes seekers on a journey into Huna mysticism. With a 36-card divination deck and 144-page guidebook, this kit draws on the multicultural traditions of Polynesia, presented in a groundbreaking tarot format.
Hawaiian mythology consists of a pantheon of lively gods and goddesses, reminiscent of the ancient Greek deities, whose many adventures offer poignant lessons about love, power, and consciously creating our own destinies. The major arcana portrays these flamboyant figures, while the four suits of the minor arcana represent the birds, seas, lands, and animals of the islands. The cards resonate on many levels, and readings offer both cautionary and encouraging advice. The companion book provides detailed information on each card, how and when to use the deck, a glossary, a comparison to the Rider-Waite tarot deck, and six introductory spreads with interpretations. Easy to understand and fun to use, it allows novice and expert alike to experience and embrace the spirit of aloha.

Animal Dreaming Oracle Cards by Scott Alexander King |
This card set features 45 Australian Animal cards and a 132-page comprehensive guidebook with corresponding messages for each card. The messages draw on ancient shamanic animal wisdom. The cards provide the modern seeker of wisdom with access to a wealth of traditional spiritual knowledge and understanding, in times past, accessible only to those who sought the advice of tribal elders or shamanic healers. In times past, it was not uncommon for a seeker of knowledge to request the advice of an Elder; someone skilled in the ability to commune with the energies of nature. Elders were seen as direct links between the people and Spirit, with their words held in high esteem. When questions were raised, the Elder would take up a small pouch, perhaps containing claws, teeth, whiskers, and bones of sacred animals which, after a quick shake, would be upended, the contents permitted to spill haphazardly onto the ground. Depending on where and how they fell, and the patterns they formed, the Elder would glean information relevant to the seeker by interpreting the messages offered by the animals represented by the claws and teeth.
