Animal Cards

On the following pages are 12 cards with multiple uses. To use, cut each card out and
glue it onto an index card. The images can be coloured or left black and white. To
make the cards sturdier, cover them in contact paper or have them laminated.
There are endless ways to use these cards. The most obvious one is to use them as
flash cards for young children. You can go over the spelling and appearance of the
animal and even it’s magickal qualities. For us older children, we can use them for
divinatory practices and for meditations. You can chose one card and decide to
meditate on that animal’s characteristics. This is an excellent exercise for beginners
as well as for those more advanced. For divination, bring a circumstance or current
issue to mind. Ask the cards the best approach to the situation and chose a card. In
covens, these or similar cards can be used for exercises. Each member may choose
a card and then “act” as that animal or channel that animal.
