This book & card set will give you the basics in terms of Animal Medicine attributes. In Shamanic Practice each Animal brings you as an individual a very specific medicine, however there are general attributes to each Animal’s medicine that are beautifully articulated in this book. I use this book and the cards often to gain insight on my present circumstances and to connect with the different Animal Medicines.
