Hello!

Welcome to my first ever blog about ‘animal totems’. If you do not know what this means, that is understandable as we city dwellers tend to live in a world that is highly disconnected from nature. Urban sprawls and nature shrinks more everyday. It is my goal to bring nature back into our hearts and our every day lives.

Following your animal totems means paying attention to what animals are showing up in your daily life and following their ‘medicines’. Each animal carries with it it’s own special words of wisdom or advise based on how it exists on our earth.

For example, squirrels can teach us about activity and preparing for the future. Ravens are all about magic and are symbols of both creation and spiritual strength. They can teach us how to be playful and amorous. Eagle is all about creativity and a willingness to seek out our true emotional aspects. Eagle can teach us how to soar in our own lives. Personal sightings or even feelings of affiliation towards different animals can be clues from the universe as to what you may need to either take on or get rid of in your own life in order to feel good.

Spring often brings with it a cleaning and purging of what is no longer needed. The animals we see most often during spring reflect this accordingly.
