Created from an Indigenous worldview, the Seeds from the Sacred Feminine - Wisdom Cards draws upon ancient wisdom and reflects the teachings given to Métis author, Andrea Menard. The Métis people are an Indigenous nation of Canada and have both Indigenous and European heritage. Métis people are deeply tied to the land. Seeds from the Sacred Feminine Wisdom Cards are land-based and contain gentle guidance and easy-to-use spreads to help busy individuals learn to slow down and walk gently on this planet.
The cards offer 52 beautiful images of original artwork by Métis painter, Leah Marie Dorion, and an 84-page handbook of gentle Sacred Feminine teachings by Menard. This deck of cards are the perfect helpers during these awakening times for those who are having trouble slowing down and are trying to stop the cycle of over-consumption and personal exhaustion.
Self-Healing is Healing for the World.
Sacred Feminine wisdom has been devalued in western culture. Yet it exists in every human being, regardless of gender, and it is the key to finding balance – not just in one’s own life, but for the planet as well. Many successful, hard-working women are on the brink of burnout because they’ve been over-using their masculine natures to prosper in this world. As they, and many heart-centred men and gender-fluid individuals, struggle to transform the systems around them, self-care goes out the window.
The Seeds from the Sacred Feminine Wisdom Cards offer the reader a fertile, sacred space to create new rituals and habits for self-care.

The Seeds from the Sacred Feminine by Andrea Menard & artist Leah Marie Dorion, both of the Métis Nation of Canada. The gentle keyphrases, painted Indigenous figures & sacred symbols are an invitation to spiritual connection with the land offering reMatriation for people of all genders & cultures.
The cards are glossy & flexible. It shuffles & bridges easily on thin & sturdy stock. The card backs bear the Patchwork Grandmothers logo and are non-reversible, posing no issues for the intended use. The book is full of resources & the keyphrases are simple.
The cards have human figures with a range of brown skin tones, vibrant color & texture. The alphabetical handbook led me to the keyphrase meanings in a voice that felt wise. When addressing the readers all are referred to as “Grandchild” with no gender identification. The images contain a range of human figures where gender cues might be assumed male or female,
& cards where gender expression cues are absent I found myself looking for the meaning of the circular four-colored wheels hidden in the images. This wasn’t stated in the guidebook. I checked myself at that moment. It’s my job to research & go find what these symbols mean to this culture. This was another way to fill in the gaps in my one-culture life. I dove into Leah Dorion’s website & found the medicine wheel & other symbol meanings. I learned that her paintings used here were completed before the deck was conceptualized by the creator.
My four-card spread referenced the four directions, moving clockwise as the Cree Nation suggests. Symbols now came alive & the simple keyphrases took on deeper meanings. I was feeling nourished in the most elemental ways. I never felt I was sneaking into a private ceremony as a person of caucasian descent, but instead invited into a grandmother’s arms to learn. My only regret was that I yearned to pull back the large borders & learn more of this beautiful culture.
