n Native American cultures, animal spirits are honored revered. Each spirit has its own special qualities that humans can draw on to enhance their own lives. When these animals are painted on stones taken from sacred beaches along the northwest coast of the United States and Canada, they bring balance to the bearer's life. These Spirit Stones can also be cast over the Sacred Spiral cloth and the interpretation of their positions brings new insight into everyday situations. As a final guide, readers can carry a particular stone as a talisman until a problem has been resolved.
