“Medicine Cards are an advanced tool that that millions of people worldwide are using for guidance, inspiration, and help in finding answers to life's questions.
This unique and powerful divination system draws upon ancient wisdom and tradition to teach the healing medicine of animals.
Medicine Cards found its way into the hearts and hands of many, guiding the way to healing the body, emotions, mind, and spirit, and providing insight into and understand of one's unique purpose in life.” ~~~ paraphrased excerpt from Amazon
Sky’s description:
Medicine Cards are a book and card set that were written by Jamie Sams and David Carson in 1988. They are used for guidance, inspiration, self-knowledge, knowing your strengths and weaknesses (what to watch out for), growth, peace, calmness when facing challenges, etc. They are helpful in so so sooooo many ways, even for people who are not into animism or native ways.
The main reason that I am drawn to them and have been reading them for 30 plus years is because they do this through the lessons of animal medicines and with respect to traditional ways.
“I am thoroughly impressed with the gifts and readings by Sky. Her accuracy and ability to interpret readings and give advice is refreshing. Too many fakes out there. Sky is genuine and it shows. She is my go to person for needed readings. As a Spiritual Healer myself, we must always have those we can go to when we need Healing. “

About Medicine Cards
I have always been drawn to animism. Animism is different from traditional native ways (its important that I make that notation for folks that have not been exposed to it). I converted to native ways, but animism has been a part of my life from the get go.
As part of my upbringing, I have been around animals my whole life. Wild as well as domesticated animals. Having had a childhood and young adult life fraught with hardship and challenges, it was natural for me to turn to the animal world and the natural world. Long before I converted my faith to native way, I would observe the animals around me.
I was always outside as a child. It was my area of peace. Running through the woods at the farm, or sitting in the yard in my country hometown, I just watched the animals. All of them. From insects to squirrels, to coyotes, to bobcats, horses, opossums, eagles, hawks, country mice, etc. I watched them daily.
Most days, I had to be forced to come inside. I always felt in my heart that being in the natural world outside with the animals was my genuine home. It was there that I felt at peace.
What past clients have to say...
I love Medicine Cards. I absolutely love them. This book and cards set is truly divinely inspired. It is important though that the person reading them is of the traditional way persuasion, not just into animism. The book was written by two folks (Jamie Sams and David Carson) who truly wished with their hearts and spirits to help people who may or may not have been exposed to the ways of nature, animal spirits, or traditional ways, to find healing and inspiration in them. It was written to help folks find a new way (actually an old way that may just be new to some people) to help them with healing their spirits, hearts, emotions, and minds. They were also written to help people hone in on their purpose or purposes in life. To provide insight and depth of knowledge into that.
This is another reason why I love them. I have read for many folks of many different religions, ethnic backgrounds, gender and sexual orientations, walks of life, different countries, etc. The thing that I adore about the cards is that they have something to offer for all of these folks. Most folks after a reading are much calmer and more at peace with themselves. It is truly wonderful to be a part of that process!
I believe that all humans are born with at least 9 animal spirits (there can be more than 9 as well) in their corner. That is my belief. Flat out. I believe that.
I believe that in order to come to this earth, you must pass through a doorway that you can only pass through if and only when a certain number of animal spirits “adopt” you and your journey on this earth. Similar to a concept of guardian angels which I also believe in, I do truly believe every person on this planet that was born here has spirit animals, even though most are unaware of them.
Years of reading these cards for others has helped me understand some depths to the cards drawn, how they are drawn, what order they are drawn in, what additional elements are involved and how they effect the reading, etc. etc. literally etc. The wisdom that the cards enumerate coupled with helping others coupled with praying for others has truly been a gift in my life. I think that my faith being traditional and my background in understanding animism has lent to this work. I feel called to do this. I feel like I was lead here to help others.
I feel deeply called to do this work. I am honored to help folks that need or want it in this way. 😊
Readings are done via Zoom. You choose your own cards so the readings are accurate.
Readings are done primarily with the Medicine Cards deck by Jamie Sams and David Carlson (I have permission to do readings). Sometimes I also use the Sacred Path deck by Jamie Sams.
