Sample card reading: 27 animal totems. Animal energy and powers. 27 animal totems. Animal energy and powers. 

Upright. This card reveals the presence of some powerful animal totems who want to share their unique energy with you. (Totems are natural objects or animals with which you feel a deep energetic connection) Any animal can become your totem if you see it repeatedly or if you feel a strong resonance with it. They bring spirit messages and bestow special energies that are unique to the animal. On this card, the leopard represents great personal power and grace. The owl shares wisdom and clairvoyance. Deer ‘medicine’ brings new perceptions and enhanced physical senses.The fox vibrates with sexual energy, fertility, and feminine expression. The hawk bears messages about your life purpose and visionary powers. From insects two elephants, the world is filled with endless examples of helpful energies from nature. Be open to their many blessings. 

 

Reversed. You can reach out to the animals about an issue you are confronting or for any characteristic you need to cultivate. Here is an easy process to invoke the wonders of the animal world: Close your eyes and breathe deeply. As you relax, invite an animal to bring assistance to your concern. You can call on a specific animal or just name the issue here. Let yourself relax and sense the animal that comes. Ask to share its helpful energy, and take some time to feel that special vibration filling you up and giving you strength. You can ask a question, so be open to any type of message. Remember that messages can come in the form of emotions and energy, so let yourself feel clarity dignity and understanding of that animals energy. Animal totems are real spiritual helpers, so meditate on all the animals that come to your heart. Open up to their power, courage, and the gentle spirit messages they bring. Affirmation: Animal blessings abound in my life. I’m open to all the wonderful qualities, energies, and messages they offer.

These cards provide glimpses into important influences and help you to align with resonances and magical transformations. Each card provides a message from spirit helpers, such as angels and ascended masters. Each card provides a number, a title and subtitle and an image. These male and female images are multi-cultural, of different ages and from periods of the past. In the accompanying guidebook, we have further information on how to get good readings from this deck which can be used for personal change, to provide direction in our lives, or predictive purposes. They can help us bring forth new vibrations and to shift energy. We can use the cards for meditation or for journaling. The affirmations help us to achieve our desires. 

The Energy & Spirit Oracle can be for personal use to give oneself a reading or to give others a reading. Use the cards when you want to deepen understanding and connection, and to let go of doubt and hesitation. The cards can give guidance of upcoming experiences, or suggest ways to deal with a particular situation. Some card have specific names, others describe a type of spirit guide. Some cards describe energies and some name spirits. All the cards bring qualities that assist in making decisions. We are invited to ask for advice but not expect anything too dramatic. Avoid yes/no either/or questions. Try ‘tell me more about’ questions. Some information on phrasing questions is provided. 

Prepare for a reading by relaxing, taking a few deep breaths, use a short prayer or invocation. Smile. We are invited to shuffle and cut, using your sensitivity, invite the presence of a loving spirit to bring help and healing. May divine love less and inform us as we invoke the assistance and guidance of the spirit world (an invocation is provided). Then pull a card and consider the issue the card refers to. Be open to asking for names that might come in a dream or a fleeting inspiration. If you are co fused, draw additional cards. Each day, a new card can be pulled, using the affirmation as an intention.  Reversed cards can indicate the opposite of the card’s upright meaning, or a more extreme version of the upright meaning. When angels and guides are involved, reversed cards represent different entities. 

Suggested spreads are the One-Card Pull, The Three-Card Spread, The Seven-Card Spread, The Energy Circle (9 Cards), and The Road (18 Cards). The guidebook provides an explanation for each card of 150 words and 100 for reversed meanings. The affirmation adds another 25 words for each card.
