Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson

If you really want to delve into mystic things it is a good idea to have a few oracles around. Medicine Cards: the Discovery of Power through the Ways of the Animals are the favoured system of divination of many people I know. They draw on Native American wisdom and animal symbols, a potent combination. Included in the kit are the medicine cards themselves, which represent various animals attractively drawn inside dreamcatchers, and a guidebook that describes different ways to deal the cards, as well as providing the appropriate legend, poem, symbolism and prediction for each medicine card. You can also create your own totem using the medicine cards. And here is my card for today:

"#38 Frog: Cleansing - Sing frog sing! Call the rains, Quench the dryness, Cleanse the Earth, then fill me up again. If frog hopped into the cards you chose today, its "ribet" maybe be calling in the cleansing you need. If you were to look at where you are today, would you use any of the following words to describe your condition: tired, overloaded, harried, frustrated, guilty, itchy, nervous, at a loss, empty or weakened?

If so, take a break and allow yourself to bathe in the waters of Frog medicine. This could mean a long, relaxing bath, disconnecting the phone, yelling "stop" , or taking in deep, cleansing breaths."

I do feel very itchy today, and did have a long bath already. It is the first day of autumn and the temperature change has made the air shockingly dry. And I need to do breathing exercises for some singing I will be doing. Good frog, good medicine.
