The Letters of the Sacred Path - by Jamie Sams

In the tradition of the indigenous peoples of North America, careful observation of Nature is a rule of life that is followed with love and joy. All accumulated knowledge is a repository of precise notions about the ways of being revealed by Mother Earth in her interactions with cosmic phenomena. The adaptation of all forms of life to telluric cycles and rhythms is considered fundamental for the health not only of human beings and animals but also of the planet itself. For the author, who is a member of this community, it was not difficult to harmonize the teachings chosen within the Seneca, Aztec, Choctaw, Lakota, Maia, Yaqui, Paiute, Cheyenne, Kiowa, Iroquois and Apache nations, and, having obtained the approval of their greater, to spread, beyond tribal borders, these life lessons. The book comes with 44 illustrated cards, each containing a particular meaning and message, which can be used one by one in daily consultation or organized in sequences that point out different paths to inner knowledge. Used with the corresponding text, which explains the various forms and methods of interpretation and divination, the cards are revealed to be in the service of enhancing self-awareness and positive change.
