Wasn't certain where to post my Animal Deck thread, but this looked like as logical a place as any.  I have a few decks of oracle cards I've purchased, but I've only ever used them to give readings for myself.  I've been giving myself readings off and on for about a year and a half.

 

So far I haven't been able to communicate with animals very well, though some of them do seem eager to talk to me.

Dax,

This will do, I think.  You are the first.

For now, let the energy of those other decks go and just work on this deck.

Go ahead and make your deck according to the instructions I gave above.  

Do not go further than making the deck.

Then post back here for the next step.  I really want to walk you through this as it will work if done this  way.

Thanks sweetie!

Okay.  So far I've got about 33 cards in my deck.  There were more, but I wasn't in a position to write them down when they came in, and now I've forgotten who they were.    I figure I've got a large enough deck that I can let animals call more attention to themselves for me to add them?

Dax,

Nope.  I want you to have about 50 in there. 

Those animals you forget will come again.  Eventually they will be included.

Be patient Grasshopper.  LOL.

Oh, by the way…is Grasshopper in your deck?

Dax,

I brought you Grasshopper.

It just appeared as I was typing the response.  They show in fun ways at times.

Hmmm.  What do we do if we put the same animal on two cards?

Dax,

It's OK.  Just leave the deck with that animal on two cards and try not to do it again, unless you intuitively you are told to do so.

You haven't broken your deck.

Dax,

If the animals aren't coming anymore, then start phase 2.

Draw ONE card at a time.  See what one teaching the animal tells you to use.  It will come to you very fast, so don't doubt that it is correct.  It should be short…a word or two.

Write the name of the animal and the teaching in a notebook and then go on to the next animal.

Do that for the whole deck.   Don't try and do it in one sitting.  It is better if you are patient and do it over a few days.

Post back here when you get that done and we will go onward and upward.

Had an urge to add a card for “Tornado” to the deck today.  Didn't make the card because I wanted your input on it first.

Dax,

Did an animal happen to come to you right before or soon after that?  I suspect it is a teaching.

Don't put anything but animals in the deck.

I would bet it is a teaching.

Finally got all of my meanings written down.  This started out as a pretty difficult process which would cause me to quit out of frustration after only a card or two.  As the process continued I either got better or more confident at the process until today I was able to sit down and do about half of the deck.  Some of the cards will likely need to be revisited but I've finally got something to post here. 

NO!!!!! Don't mess with those initial teachings…they are correct.  It will be your mind/ego that does the changes and the whole deck will go to hell in a handbasket.  

Ok, now that you have that done.  I want you to do a reading for me.

Surround the deck with an obsidian wrap (which will stay there), shuffle the deck, draw the top two cards.

Post the animal and its teaching back here AND then put the two together into a very short reading.  

Post all that back here.

Working on trying to come up with something other than “Be quick in you family matters” without my ego getting involved.

Dax,

That was fine.

Now take those two cards out of your deck and do it again.  You can post the two animals, their teachings and the reading in the same post if you want to.
