A butterfly is perfect symbol ofthe

‘ening experiences are what lead you to

‘new strength. Change is what gives but:
teres wings toy and itcan do the same

Butterfes are also signs from Heaven
that our loved ones ae watching over us

1s true if you glimpse butterflies ating in
‘unusual ways, of If you notice references
te them (uch as words o images in mag:
azine, on television, on clothing. and so
forth) at atime when you're grieving &
loved one's pasing.
‘Change can fel stressful, even when
Ws the happy kind. There’ a part of us

larto the stress et during holiday times.
‘My prayer is that these cards can
lessen the stres of life change. You ean

sciously creating.
‘With the help of the batteries and
‘the support of the angels, your tansfor-
_mations will always be carried bythe soft

How to Prepare and Work with
‘Your Butterfly Oracle Cards
‘Step 1: Clear Your Card Deck
‘Your cards are sensitive instruments,
sothey'l need to be cleared of any energy
they may have absorbed from the manu
facturing proces. Steps 1 and 2only need
soe
tepeating afte another person touches
your cards or if your readings lack clarity
because the cards have become clogged
with too much energy.
“To clear your catds, frst hold the
deck in your nondominant hand (the one
you normally don't write with), as this is
the hand that reeves energy. Then, say
«prayer over the cad, asking that they
be cleared of any energy they may have
absorbed, sch as
“Dear God, thank You for ifting
‘away fom these cards anything
‘that isnot of Divine love
‘This clears out the old energy 50 that
the cards are now a blank late and ready
to be imbued with your own vibration
‘Step 2: Consecrate the Cards
Brey touch the cards to infuse them
with your personal energy Youcan simply
touch one ofthe comers af each 1 accom
plish this. Then, fan the deck out with
‘the artwork facing you. Hold the fanned
‘ards to your heart and think about any
prayers o Intentions you'd like to bestow
‘upon them.
This decks attuned to your thoughts
and felings, so any intentions or prayers
you think or say wil be absorbed into the
cad energies. Ask and pray for whatever
help you'd like while working with the
‘deck, such a8 confidence, clarity, compar
sion, and so forth. You cards now carry
‘your personal vibration and intentions.
ose‘Step 3: Ask a Question
‘Think ofa question you'd like to have
answered. Ifyou pulling cards for some:
tne else, ask him or her to either think
of or verbalize a question. Heaven hears
your thoughts, so you needn't say your
Inguiry aloud.
Step 4 Shuffle the Cards While
Thinking of the Question
‘Think ofthe question as you shuffle,
and ask Heaven to help you with answers
{nd guldance.Loften say this prayer, sim
sar tothe one in Step 1, while shuffling
“Dear God, Lak that You watch
ner ths experience, making certain
‘that ony true Divine guldance comes
through. Pease help me release my
‘ego fears so that can cleuly se,
heat, feel, and krow the messages
‘that You have for me. Lak that this
‘oracte-card reading bring Blessings to
‘everyone ime.”
Hone or more cards “jump ou ofthe
deck while you'e shutting, place ther to
the side, They'l be pat of your reading.
‘As you'reshuffling, youl likely notice
feelings, thoughts, words, or visions. This
Divine guidance will help you further
understand the cards you draw, so pay
attention to these impeesions as they
‘ome to you
When your cards begin t clump into
‘vo distinct sections, I's time to stop
‘shuffling. You may also receive a feeling,
thought, oF vision to cease—or you may
even hear the words Stop shuffling now.
‘Trust and honor these Divine messages
‘that ae helping you with the reading, You
‘ant make a mistake and stop shutting
too soon, 3 the Divine aw of Attraction
‘ensures that youl always choose the cards
meant fr you.
Step 5: Choose a Card
“There's no single “correct” way to
‘draw a card, as your inner guidance will
lead yout the right one for you You may
feel most comfortable pulling from the
top ofthe deck, or looking for card that
sticks ut of the pack. Whatever way you
select the card is perfect for you and your
treading. Again, you cant make a mistake
and choose wrongly
Ifyou set aside a card (or card) that
“jumped out of the deck while you were
stuffing, carefully examine it (or them)
too. Jumping cards carry additional infor
‘mation for you, much like a footnote in
{book that adds o your understanding.‘Step 6: Consult This Guidebook
‘Turn tothe corresponding page within
this guidebook foreach card. As you ead
the words, notice any thoughts or feelings
that come to you, a5 they're once again 2
personalized part of the answer. Heaven
will give you specific guidance to help
walk you through any Iie changes, or to
encourage you to take appropriate action.
‘Three-Card Messages
ter completing Steps 3 and 4, pick
three cards from the top ofthe deck With
the images and words facing up, lay the
first card to your left, the second one in
the middle, andthe third to the right.
‘The card to your lft speaks about the
‘event that triggered the situation you're
{Inquiring about. The middle card reveals
[your quetton’s current status and what
soe
you need to know or work on right now.
And the card to the right shows your
immediate future, i you continue on your
present path and follow the guidance of
the mide card. You can always improve
your future path by holding a postive ot-
look and listening to your inner wisdom.
