A lovely product this. Well worth the money. this is one of the original card oracles dating back to the late 1980s, long before the commercia.isation of the Tarot adn associated decks were seen as a money spinner. Why do we need oracles? They have been popular throughout human history. The oldest is probably the pre-Christian Chinese I Ching, despite claims of the Tarot being based on Babylonian seals. Geomancy has a long history as also the prediction from the flights of birds that was favoured among the druids. The reading of entrails was popular in Roman times. This collection of animal cards based on the Native American wisdom of the animals, a thing long lost in the West provides insight not only into our own condition but also to the animals themselves and the roles they hold in Nature. No European would consider Wolf a teacher or Crow Law. European received wisdom is that Nature is fallen and corrupt and European insight into animals is largely based on Aesop's fables, a city dweller using animals to exmplify his moral reflections on human behaviour, in my opinion. A handsome book accompanies the 52 cards, with some blank spares to add one's own creatures. Altogether a very sound collection.Read full review

I have known and liked this item for many years;- the cards are very attractive, and the accompanying book very well written.. I bought the item for someone else who found it difficult to find in her own country.

This set is for anyone interested in the Native American teachings or way of life. The cards are beautiful, good quality and timeless. You can discover your 9 totem animals (a very humbling experience), illuminate your current Pathway or use one of several other spreads to help you gain clarity on any situation. Each animal shares its wisdom through its behaviours and traits, and the cards have detailed and specific stories to help you relate the advice to your own circumstances. They are direct, but gentle, and have the feel of the Ancients behind their words. There's a patient quality to them, like they already know you won't understand everything they mean until you've had time to process their wisdom, and experience for yourself the underlying lesson being offered. I first experienced these cards when my dearest friend did the Pathway reading for me and totally blew me out of the water with the insight and clarity I gained from the experience. Owning my own set was a non-negotiable. You will never regret owning a set of these amazing cards, especially when animals show themselves to you in a way that you feel deep down has meaning, or come to you in your dreams - you'll be able to just look them up in the book. Most likely you'll find they were delivering a very timely and valuable message. There are 52 animal cards, and a few additional blank ones for you to add your own animals of meaning (for instance, I've added the giraffe to mine as I'm from South Africa originally and the giraffe is one of my favourites). These are animals of the northern climes and (obviously) specific to the US, but they are valuable for everyone, in my opinion. These animals don't have to be in your locale to offer their sound and encouraging wisdom. For the price, you really cannot go wrong.Read full review

Very informative book which is easy to interpret and follow. Accurate guide to understanding what the ‘wise old ones’ would speak, that animals and creatures each have ‘characterised traits’ and behaviours, in turn- acting as ‘teachers and silent guides.’ Also tends to lean a little into how animals in dreams are interpreted and how to interpret the message you are feeling.. into a more intuitively-connected and polarised direction. The words of Earths Keepers is a priceless gem in today’s technological culture. ‘Wonder, still lies in the ages.. and no-one tells it better..’

These cards have beautiful images of other animals, unpretentious, and I love the slightly retro image on the back. They give, should you wish to follow it, and why wouldn't you, incredibly helpful everyday guidance. They've helped me to remember to be joyful with the otter and the hummingbird, in these difficult times, amongst other things. I love them so much I made them a bag.
