Sample card from the Guidebook: 8 Forgive Keywords: Compassion, Healing, Forgiveness. “I allow compassion and forgiveness to flow through me.” This card invites you to embrace the transformative power of forgiveness. When you forgive, you do so for yourself and for others. You are standing at the threshold of healing, only blocked by your commitment to hold onto what wounds you. Don’t allow your heart to be hardened by the hurt you have sustained. Instead release the burdens, resentment and pain and open your heart to compassion for yourself as well as for whoever needs your forgiveness at this time. You may not always feel that someone is deserving of your forgiveness. This card serves to remind you that when you allow yourself to forgive and allow yourself to say “I won’t carry this pain anymore. I deserve to be free of this weight. It’s no longer mine to carry.” Be firm in your boundaries to prevent future pain, while releasing whatever binds you to that wound. Make space for peace within. With your heart open and your spirit brimming with love, you create space in your life with positive energy to flourish. Over time you’ll see your growth and you will blossom, free from the shadows of resentment.

An emphasis on the land, and its species is making an impact on spiritual seekers. This is a lovely oracle deck with beautiful silver edged cards to work with. I saw the querent in each animal image. My clients loved these  cards and the wisdom in the Guidebook. Each card provides an image, number, title and 3 keywords. In the guidebook, an additional affirmation is given with the full meaning of the cards in 200 words. Actions to perform are included in the meaning. There are suggested spreads: A Daily Card, 3 card Past, Present and Future, and a 4 card Enchanted Earth. All information is provided on how to read the cards, the symbolism of animal messengers, and upright  meanings are all positive. Reversed cards show blocked energies, so cleansing is required, changing direction, and taking purposeful action.
