Reviews

"Beautifully designed and unique among oracle card decks, Animal Love Oracle Cards: Advice, Compassion, and Wisdom from Our Animal Mentors is especially an unreservedly recommended for personal and professional metaphysical studies in general, and Tarot/Spirit Guide students and practitioners in particular."
*Midwest Book Review*

"Gordon-Taylor has taken her research on animals in symbolism, religion, and global cultures and condensed it into wholesome, loving, positive messages from the animals to you. The animal selection is wonderful! You’ll find everyday critters, such as Chipmunk, Cat, and my friend Cow, less run of the mill creatures like Hippopotamus, Elephant, and Dolphin, and even the downright mythological! If you love animals, and want a different way to celebrate them, you should consider Animal Love Oracle Cards by Nadine Gordon-Taylor."
*The Magical Buffet*

"This parade of captivating and expressive creatures from the natural world offers readers comfort, wisdom, empathy, and gentle guidance. They look directly at you, letting you know that there is energy behind the drawings that is ready to engage you. If you stare at them long enough, they seem to come alive and reflect your inner world back to you. Gordon-Taylor has used her vast research into animal symbolism to write very thought-provoking and insightful commentary which suggests the possible gifts to be found in each of her beautifully-rendered illustrations. There is a very palpable energy of kindness connected with this deck and book set. I suspect that powerful healings are possible for those who open their hearts to this loving oracle."
*Anna Jedrziewski, InannaWorks*

"I think Animal Love Oracle Cards: Advice Compassion & Wisdom form Our Animal Mentors by Nadine Gordon-Taylor is one of the loveliest set of oracle cards I have seen in a long time and the book is one the best-written I have ever read. I highly recommend this deck for anyone who loves animals, or who wants to become closer to our animal siblings in a more spiritual way."
