SOME BOOKS SHOULD NEVER GO OUT OF PRINT! THIS IS ONE!

It Is Truly a DEFINITIVE GUIDE to the medicine and power of animals. I have chosen this book to make my own "Medicine Cards" From. Just buy some blank cards and create your own. This book is far more detailed than Jamie Sams cards, Which are Great and I do use them, but this book can add to the meanings of her cards and there are far more animals you yourself can add in that Jamie Did Not Choose To Add In or missed. ...68 Animals In All!... These are not just From The U.S. Either ...She explains about the meanings of Power Animals and how this term is often misused.... Learn about The "Master Guardian, Power Animal and Guardian Spirit Animals" She Explains the misuse of the word "Totem" Animals....What I have learned is to understand the animal's life, the biologal information, how they live, habbits....She also Teaches the importaintance of this and she goes further With Legends and Tradidtions, Medicine and Power, Directions Elements, Traits and Associations Of Each One. ~Understand the Habits and Characteristics and you can apply the knowledge to your own life~ This Book IS Nearly 400 Pages and is a True Wealth Of Information, One NOT to be passed up.

Well Done

Jessica has shown outstanding research primarily in so far as Native American beliefs are concerned.

Anyone who appreciates the place of animals in our world should read and enjoy
