Synopsis

Britain has a rich tradition of animal lore dating back to the earliest times. Even today we see the fox as sly and cunning and the cat - with its "nine lives" - as somehow enchanted. This pack shows readers how to take hold of the power of each animal and use it to change their lives and find your own special totem and companion animals whose strengths and abilities can be called upon in time of need. The card deck contains beautiful images for all 39 beasts, and there is a blank card to use if required. The book presents a wealth of myth, legend and natural history for each beast, showing readers how to use the cards in spreads to identify your own strengths, abilities and needs in particular areas, and on a deeper level, following the Spiral Path.
