The Native American culture intrigues me. Their spirituality especially draws me. Thus, the Native American Medicine Cards inspire me. I am adept at reading the cards intuitively for individuals seeking guidance. Reading the cards for many years, I believe I have helped individuals discover insights that help them on their journey.
I always wondered why I was drawn to Native American history. In my search to discover why I tried past life regression through hypnosis by a licensed medical professional. I like to think of it as having cell memory in my body and trying to remember. In that session I recalled a lifetime as a Native American woman. I was married to my tribe’s medicine man. I actually recalled the wedding ceremony and his untimely death. This was a powerful experience for me. It taught me lessons I needed to learn in this lifetime.
I wanted to express my thoughts above in the hopes that you will know better how I perform intuitive readings and why I am really comfortable with the Native American Medicine Cards.
What do the Native American Medicine Cards look like?
Beautifully illustrated with the drawing of a totem animal, the deck contains 52 cards. On each card there is a key word that symbolizes an idea associated with the animal. Included with the cards is a detailed book. The book explains the background and meaning of each animal totem and its message. In Native American culture each animal symbolizes a quality. The meaning of the card is derived from their understanding of the universe and their own ancient stories.
As you can see the deck is quite extensive. Next you are probably wondering how to use these cards. I can tell you that if I am reading for myself I may draw one card for insight on a particular situation. If I want to do an extensive reading for myself or someone else I will do one of the card spreads from the book.
Here is a sample of one of my favorite cards
“Wolf, Teacher, Pathfinder, Moon-dog of my soul. Howling, Singing, Teaching how to know.”
Above is a quote from the book about the card. The book gives wonderful background about how Native Americans viewed wolf down through the ages. The key word for “wolf” is TEACHER. For example, the wolf baying at the moon (which is the symbol of psychic knowledge) indicates its search for new ideas, These new ideas sit just beneath one’s level of consciousness. Wolf medicine inspires the teacher in us. We are to share our knowledge and wisdom with others. Or we are to discover it in ourselves.
