Rating:  Summary: This deck held a lot of surprises NOT mentioned in the book. Review: I won't bore you with how I really liked the book and the cards. I do like them. I usually don't use this deck a lot, but I have found out that this deck has a way to let you know when something needs to be done.The first night I have ever slept with this deck in the same room was when I was visiting friends in Chicago. I had just bought the deck and had it along to become familiar with it. Now I've been to my friends' home too many times to feel like I can't sleep in their house. On that night, however, I could hardly sleep. When I did, I kept dreaming that the deck was purposefully keeping my mind half-awake -- "You can't fall asleep just yet!... Wake up, wake up..." Now I'm familiar with lucid dreaming, but this was too strange. It was now 4 am, and I knew that deck wouldn't let me sleep. Then it hit me -- as if I was back home in Michigan -- wandering over to the pole barn where the sheep were. The water tank heater that keeps the water from freezing was attached to a very long, heavy-duty extension cord. That extension cord had a faulty ground wire -- I could see it! I ran to the phone and called a good friend of mine that only lived nine miles away from my farm, successfully waking her out of a deep slumber. I know I must have sounded like a lunatic when I demanded that she go to the farm RIGHT NOW and replace the faulty cord with a new one. The moment I hung up the phone after she promised she would, a deep, overwhelming peace came over me. At that time, I moved the deck to another room and fell instantly asleep. I must have slept only 4 hours, but it was if I had 12. To this day, I know that deck saved the barn as well as my sheep. Of all the decks in the house, that one always is in a place of great honor. Has anyone else had any such experiences with this deck??
Rating:  Summary: ONE OF THE MOST RIDICULOUS FRAUDS IVE EVER SEEN Review: Just how gullible would you have to be to fall for this offensive nonsense? Tarot cards are from EUROPE people, and Samms is not even an Indian. ... She is NOT an elder and is NOT recognized or respected by ANY tribe or Native people. Spare me the silly excuses: "She's recommended by Twyla Nitsch." ... "But they work for me." It's called the Placebo Effect. A sugar pill would work just as well and not be so incredibly offensive and not LIE about Native people and our beliefs. File this book under "FANTASY for Gullible ... People With Too Much Time and Money on their Hands, and Afraid to do the Real Work Necessary to Solve Their Own Problems." ...
Rating:  Summary: Not what I understand Review: Native Americans are very spiritual people, and like the critic before me, I HIGHLY doubt that they would use playing cards to guide them. Native Americans believe and trust in God, so much in fact, that many have gotten past the atrocities committed by the White man to know Jesus as God's only son. As what many Native Americans know, Faith in God is what is important, not hocus-pocus.
Rating:  Summary: Not hocus pocus Review: One of the reviewers spoke for Native Americans who might view these as hocus pocus. As one of this heritage and deeply connected to it, I can say this is not hocus pocus. Cards, feathers, rocks, crystals and a great many other tools are used in reading Mother Earth and her nuances. All provides a message to us in teaching and that is indeed the Native way. I rather enjoy the cards, when I am centred and holding pure intent...I ask that I receive all messages meant for me. It can come through the cards or not, but always appears to those with hearts and ears willing to hear. If one is looking for another tool to connect, consider the cards, but with the frame of mind/heart that says these are not to give you THE answer, but an answer...a guide. The rest is yours to do. Namaste
Rating:  Summary: These cards are amazing. Review: Reading this book brought me to another level of understand about the spiritual life. The way the native people discovered there rituals is amazing. I use these cards like a calendar. 1-31. Each card can help me though the day.And amazingly enough I usually am experienceing what the card indicated. I read the book daily.

Rating:  Summary: I regularly use the cards and read the book and I love them! Review: The book and the cards have definately changed how I live my life. I use them on a very regular basis and they have helped me to focus on one issue at a time. I believe that these cards and the book are helping other travelers on their paths as well!
Rating:  Summary: Fascinating Review: The writing simple, effective and evocative. The art is a joy, a perfect 'companion' to the writing... Ms. Sams really seems to know what she is talking about... Consice, with some great anecdotes... Take a moment and enjoy this one...
Rating:  Summary: Let the Great Spirit be your Guide Review: This book and card set is a wonderful tool to use to find out more about your spirituality. No matter how often I consult the cards, I always feel that the information that I receive is both relevant and helpful to the situations in my life. It is also a good tool to use with your family members to open up meaningful dialogues.
Rating:  Summary: Open the windows of your soul and a new spiritual awareness. Review: This book and these cards were a beginning of a journey for me and my family. Because of these cards we all have opened a communication and built a spiritual oneness with powers that had always been but we never took the time to feel and see the connection. My personal spiritual growth has been immense since I purchased this book. It along with the cards have been a stepping stone for deep meditations, walks back to meet with my Indian Spiritual Guides and awakening my heritage connections. Using these cards along with chanting, prayer and purifying medicine wheel meditations has enriched my life and given me a serenity I had never known before. I strongly recommend the Sacred Path Cards. May the Spirits guide you on your Medicine Walk down the Sacred Path.
