Sample card: 29 Sacred Journey Transformation. Butterfly teaches us that we are on a sacred journey. We have a unique and individual path, with distinct challenges. Sometimes we must struggle, but in the end, we achieve spiritual growth. Butterfly will change and evolve, and will be beautiful because of that transformation. This is symbolic of the sacred journey where we gain immeasurable levels of wisdom and knowledge. The gift we earn through the hardships are that we become more spiritual. What can you gain from this lesson? What can you learn from this experience?  Changes are inevitable. Embrace the teachings of butterfly and transform effortlessly. Take note of the cycles and patterns. Are you currently in an egg stage, possibly giving birth to some new area of life? A caterpillar phase, requiring a major decision to be made? Are you presently wrapped in a cocoon nurturing and developing the changes taking place? Or have you reached your metamorphosis where you are being called to break out of your shell and show the world your true self?

The physical world and spirit world are bridged by the ancient cultures of the indigenous tribal people who respect those who reach an age of deep wisdom and authority. This oracle includes 7 Grandfathers teachings, 4 Sacred Fire teachings, and 4 sacred medicines. The guidebook has information on how to use the cards, choosing, interpreting and storage. It’s dedicated to indigenous elders who have passed to spirit, and to those still here who share and pass on their sacred wisdom to us so we can be enlightened and connected. Hold the cards within your hands and ask for a blessing and assistance. Light a candle to open a doorway to the Elders. Ask your question (sample questions are provided). Shuffle and choose. A One -Card reading, a Three-Card reading, a Four Directions reading, and a Sacred Journey spread of 7 cards are suggested.
