Editorial Reviews

Review

“Since the publication of the Navaho novel, Seven Arrows, over twenty years ago, I haven't seen anything so adventurous or beautifully executed as Medicine Cards...this handsome and inviting package has much to teach us all.” ―Patricia Holt, San Francisco Chronicle

“A potent yet refreshingly simple divination tool that can help up reconnect to the sources of life's natural guidance...extraordinarily well crafted. This work is plentiful, overflowing with the richness of the Native American way of life.” ―Yoga Journal

All I can say is, WOW!!!!!!! I connected with these beautiful cards the FIRST time, I touched them. The Native American look and feel of these beautiful is just what the Native Amercian culture is ALL ABOUT. I have Native American blood is my...So, I guess I am bias....But, the Native American images on these cards REALLY resonate with me. And the book is equally impressive! Inspired me to get out my books on Shamanism and read them again...So, these cards can REALLY BE used for inspiration. The way, the authors describe each card is highly impressive. These will be my FAVORITE CARDS. A BIG THANK YOU to the authors and an EVEN BIGGER THANK YOU to Amazon for selling them...Y'all are awesome! :) You NEED to get these cards. These cards have so MUCH to teach us! A satisfied customer is RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Paperback Is Actually Hardcover Plus Cards
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2023
Verified Purchase
From some of the reviews, it seemed like all versions of this item contained both book and cards. So I purchased the “Paperback” version as it was cheaper. Sure enough, it came packaged in a box that included the hardcover book and the cards.

I love these cards! I have had the cards for a while and purchased a new set because I lost the book for the old set.

I read the cards for myself. When I am confused by life, I find that doing a reading for myself with the animal cards really helps a lot. I love the messages in the book that comes with the cards. The messages are gentle and positive.

There are several layouts (spreads) for the cards explained in the book. I usually do the Mother Earth, Father Sky spread, which involves two cards and is simple and helpful. Today I tried the Medicine Wheel spread, involving 5 cards, and that layout is great, as well.

This is my favorite Oracle deck, and I have a lot of them.

Excellent price for this new set, which came with a HARDCOVER book & boxed set of medicine cards - all in good order & condition. The box which the book & cards came in was damaged & would not have been ideal for gift-giving, but this was for my own use, so it did not matter. Very pleased with this purchase!

4.0 out of 5 stars so-so build quality cards, good artwork, book has great content
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021
Verified Purchase
got the "card" option and it came with book and card set. shipped/sold through amazon.
first thing that always catches my eye on packaging is that "Made in" branding. In this case, China.
Upon opening the fresh deck and slightly shuffling them, the corner edges from one layer (artwork side) started to chip off on multiple cards. Kind of disappointing for 30$. But I guess it's all about the content and utilization of this deck which could be priceless.
I chose to create my totem pole using youtube channel Decode your Reality explanation (title: HOW TO DECODE YOUR TOTEM POLE (featuring Santos Bonacci))

I did this under a SITS ASCENSION PYRAMID from twistedsage. aligned pyramid faces with proper North orientation. (Could be overkill, but if I going down power animal spirit lane, and you only perform this once in your life, might as well go deep into it..)

The resulting totem pole resonated with me pretty well. pretty amazing I pulled my Chinese zodiac sign card equivalent! pulled it as 4th card so about 1in49 chance. pulled my birth day number too, 2nd card, 1in51 chance.

best of luck on your life path journey!

This book and card set is great. Loads of different animals and interpretations that are quite accurate.
The book provides information on different drawing types and card spreads. There are a few blank cards to create your own cards. The are descriptions for contrary and regular readings.

Reviewed in Belgium on November 4, 2023

There are no more keywords on this revised edition as there were on the first edition. This means you always have to take the book aside. This affects the intuitive messages you get when drawing the cards. A bad decision in my opinion, i could not connect with the deck because of this.
