I am a crow too.
And nothing but a crow.
Keeper of the sacred law: a lightly-armed scout. Fast and noisy. Bible Black.
Owls bother me. Humans too.
But nothing scares me.
Nothing.

Hello Crow,

13 totems, eh? Nice number. I’m curious. Upon what is that figure based?

I’ve lived on this earth 75 years now. I’ve yet to encounter a set formula that applies to everyone.

We are all so alike yet vastly UN-alike.

I’d be interested to know your “plug-in” model defining 13 animal consorts for every human.

Please, enlighten me.

I disagree. A person can connect with some of their animal totems. However, there are people who can assist those in finding their totems. There are actually 13 animal totems we each have. If people are truly looking to connect, don’t limit them by saying they have to do it all themselves. We all different gifts to share with others.

Hi,

Beleive it or not, today is the first time that i have heard of a totem animal. I really love the idea, but how do i get to know my totem animal? when i was about 6 or 7 years old, i had recurring dreams about being friends with a fox, could this be my totem animal? if not, how do i go about figuring it out.

Lately, it’s been Grandmother Spider for me, although I frequently have hawks and hummingbirds pointing the way … I blogged about Grandmother Spider here –>

Hi Donna & Ailia
I have to remind myself everybody’s perspectives & approach is different…that energy can speak (question & answer) in a myriad of ways.

But, I’m glad for each of your confirmations on what I call the practice of “hasty-animal-totem-labeling.” :-)

It’s good for me to know there are people such as yourselves who take a thoughtful, soulful approach to these aspects of life.

Thanks again!

Namaste.
