Ancient cultures have always looked to animals as a source of strength, protection and knowledge. Native Americans have revered the wolf, bear, eagle and bison while Aborigines have identified with the kangaroo, koala and kookaburra.

Divided into four groups, Creatures of the Air, Arboreal Creatures, Earth-dwellers and Walkers Between Worlds and Water Denizens, Susie Green reveals the special powers and inner secrets of 52 animals, birds, reptiles and insects.

The book gives an interpretation for each one and how you can use the cards to tell the future from the simplest three-card spread which gives you an at-a- glance guide to your past, present and future while the more complex Path of the Heart helps you to understand your own emotions plus that of the other person.

Each of the cards has a message to give you immediate guidance: a wolf means listen to your intuition, a llama encourages you to be courageous and a mouse to be persistent.
