The Reading
1. The East card:
This card is known as the Egg Card or Egg Position. You should view this card as the nucleus or seed of your idea, project, or activity. Allow its medicine to interact with the concept of your enterprise. It will suggest the value of the inner core of your plan. Is it the medicine that is needed at this time and place?
2. The South card:
This card is known as the Larve Card or Larva Position. This card is about early doing. What needs to be done, and how will it be done, in the pragmatic world? Who will take responsibility for the work? Just as a butterfly first turns into a growing, struggling caterpillar, this is the medicine of the Larve Card. Will energies be great enough to overcome the obstacles? The caterpillar sheds its skin many times during its growth. Will the many egos involved in your project or activity acquiesce (shed skin) in order to facilities achievement?
3. The West card:
This card is known as the Cocoon Card or Cocoon Position. It speaks of higher purpose. It is where the highest transformations take place, much as when transformation happens inside the cocoon and a beautiful butterfly soon emerges. In viewing the card it is good to ask yourself why you have joined the activity or project you are considering. Was it to serve the Great Spirit and the tribe, or was it to serve yourself? If your activity or project was simply self serving, it will in all probability backfire on you. Not the self, but the family, the clan, the people, and the Great Spirit are to be served.
4. The North card: This card is known as the Butterfly Card or Butterfly Position. It is likely to tell you if the Great Spirit has walked hand-in-hand with you and your group or project. Look to this card to tell you what sorts of rewards are to be gained. Will financial rewards be yours? It may seem odd to you to look to the North-the Spirit-for this answer. But as every medicine person will point out to you, matter follows vision and spirit. t is the law. This card is the place of manifestation.
