Hi...yes Ted Andrews is definitely a different take. I havent read the book straight through.. I just read the pages on an animal that I am interested in for some different insights than the Medicine cards or for ones not in their book. I trust whatever insights resonate in me at the time. I did like the Sacred Path cards when I used them years ago I borrowed them from a friend. Hmm maybe this would be a good time to get my own set. Also I havent got the newest version of the animal medicine cards that include some new animals. I got my first set in 1992 --yikes that was a long time ago. thanks for the recommended book...
