Medicine Cards have been expanded in this revised edition to include eight additional power animals: Blue Heron (self-reflection), Raccoon (generous protector), Prairie Dog (retreat), Wild Boar (confrontation), Salmon (wisdom/inner knowing), Alligator (integration), Jaguar (integrity/impeccability), and Black Panther (embracing the unknown).

More popular all by itself than any other single card deck including Tarot, Medicine Cards have been used by hundreds of thousands of folks for guidance, inspiration, and help with answers to life’s questions. Drawing on  ancient wisdom and Native American tradition to teach the healing medicine of animals, this unique and powerful divination system has found its way into the hearts and hands of many, providing insight into—and understanding of—our purpose on Mother Earth.

In compiling the medicine that we have learned from the animal kingdom and our teachers throughout the years, we have discovered that these teachings need to be released in order to aid the mass consciousness....

The visions that we have been given of this system are that it is a fun bridge which will aid in the understanding of what it means to “walk in balance on the Earth Mother.” Our personal power animals have spoken to us through the Dream Lodge and have asked for our assistance in spreading the understanding that all life is sacred, and in sharing the lessons which they have to impart.

The 256-page hardcover book included in the full-size set presents teachings on animal medicine, the medicine wheel and shield, medicine card spreads, and specific sections on each animal card and its corresponding medicine: Elk, Snake, Skunk, Moose, Coyote, Wolf, Raven, Fox, Turkey, Weasel, Horse, Frog, Spider, etc. There are now 52 full-colour cards in all.
