What is your Animal Totem

This will take a while very interesting the first one was the bat that was fascinating

But your post has soo many aspects it will take me a bit to get deeper into this

Thank you so much for this post

Huh...

Hawk
Characters: Galen, Thera, Zilus in Eyes of Crow

Powers: Communicate with the divine, discern powers in others, photographic memory

Hawks are the messengers of the Spirits. Adept with language, you might be a writer or a teacher. Your ability to assess situations impartially means that people often seek your guidance before making decisions. A brilliant visionary, you sometimes forget the mundane details of life like eating, sleeping, or paying bills.

Best matches: Owls, Foxes, Crows
Watch out for: Otters, Wolves, Horses

SPIRIT OF ARCTIC WOLF
Role: The Teacher
Lesson: Learning & Using Potential
Element: Earth
Wind: North Wisdom
Medicine: Manifestation
Keywords: Teacher. Resistance to Change. Stamina. Resilience. Wisdom. Determination.

Arctic Wolf lives in a land frozen in time where, for three quarters of the year, frigid winds blow across the tundra, creating landscapes of sculpted ice. Here, all life holds its breath while awaiting longer days that will bring the sun to gently bathe all in it's golden light, coaxing the emergence of new life to dance for awhile in its brilliant rays. Walking across these bridges and valleys of glimmering snow, the Arctic Wolf, thick white coat ruffled in the frosty breath of the Northern wind, is in a state of contented Oneness with his surroundings.

Arctic Wolf soul is an individual who is capable of performing nearly miraculous bouts of stamina that would weary other souls as she travels the good Red Road.

Shark Animal Totem Symbolism
Sharks are one of the most intimidating creatures on Earth. Their menacing glances and rows of sharp teeth are surely terrifying, and watching them annihilate their prey is even more scary.

The shark animal totem moves through the ocean with graceful, yet ominous precision, conveying a message of sleek authority to all whom it meets. To make it even more intimidating, a shark can never stop moving and is always pushing forward, even in times of rest and repose.

They are the masters of survival, the corrupt sheriffs of the sea that no one dares to mess with. The shark’s symbolic values are numerous, but they all seem to center around the theme of power: primality, focus, dynamism, superiority, efficiency, mysteriousness, etc.

Sharks are very old creatures and, as such, are thought to posses sacred, ancient wisdom. The age of theirs species has led to the shark being deemed an authority on life and the protector of the sacred. They know exactly what life is about and make opportunities for themselves.

Eagle

By Joy

To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear;
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.
Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.

There is bunch of you :)

Yours I bet is the cute thing in your Avi :P

My animal totem is a human being. Some people argue that the human being is an animal. I look human in other dimensions.

Second spirit animal was a face of a cat, the white turtleneck and black sweater of the statue of Israel on Mars, and hooves.

The Butterfly is not an animal, it is an insect.

A human **kind**

The Butterfly

As love falls down from the sky,
It lands on the wings of a butterfly.
The butterfly sings it's songs and rhymes,
And flies through the air, No concept of time.

It is the messenger of patience and change,
From flower to flower, it's odd and it's strange.
The butterfly can transform it's world.
And give way to new beginnings, unfurled,
It is the keeper of transformation,
And flies on faith and imagination.

The butterfly had no fear of change,
It bravely escapes it's homemade cage.
To change, it knows is necessary,
For all the burdens we need not carry.
The butterfly soars, and merrily sings,
For, without change, it could never grow wings.

I got a swan, never heard of a swan as a spirit animal.

The Wild Swans at Coole
By William Butler Yeats

The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me
Since I first made my count;
I saw, before I had well finished,
All suddenly mount
And scatter wheeling in great broken rings
Upon their clamorous wings.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All's changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.

Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old;
Passion or conquest, wander where they will,
Attend upon them still.

But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;
Among what rushes will they build,
By what lake's edge or pool
Delight men's eyes when I awake some day

Thanks op, that's a beautiful poem you found, and thank you wolf for the shamic journey site! Both of you are awesome and have made my day.

Reminded me of this

:)

Humans are not perfect, except when they smile :)

my daughter told me multiple times it wasn't a swan, and she was right

it's a leucistic goose that's been migrating to a lake near me for several years

will share again, but a different shot

sorry, you don't get the best from me, dusty, it is what it is, please don't take it personally

a totem is a life-long presence, a guide a transitory one

my former is obvious, the latter a fox for a couple of years
