BIRD TOTEMS AND POWER ANIMAL

     Native and tribal peoples throughout history around the world believe that all living things have lessons to teach us. By observing the characteristics and behaviors of all creatures we can become aware of these lessons. Many people carry or wear carvings of animals or birds (fetishes) as a reminder of the wisdom, experience, understanding and power of that animal or bird. These likenesses honor these teachers, as well as inspire us toward a clearer understanding of our own strengths and remind us of where we may need to concentrate more effort in our own lives.

The following is a list of animals and birds and a very brief explanation of the power associated with them. Much of this information came from “Animal Speak” by Ted Andrews.

Totem Symbols or Power Animals

   A Totem Symbol or Power animal is a broadly animistic and shamanic concept that has entered the English language from Anthropology, Ethnography and Sociology. A tutelary spirit guide that helps or protects individuals, lineages and nations. In the shamanic worldview, everything is alive, bearing an inherent virtue, power and wisdom.

  Totem Symbols or Power animal(s) represent a person's connection to all life; their qualities of character, and their power, they most often come to us in dreams, meditations, initiations, and visions. You can have more than one power animal or Totem symbol which at a given time, can change depending on your life-path at that time. These powerful symbols are often attracted by one's emotional needs - viewed as protectors who help overcome fears and empower us.   It is more likely to have a wild untamed animal serve in the capacity of a power animal.   The gift that a particular animal is thought to give an individual varies depending on the culture although there are certain consistencies for certain animals.

     To discover your Totem Symbol or Power Animal on you own, you can ask for a dream and see if anything comes up. You can ask the symbol or power animal to show itself to you and if you start seeing one or another frequently that would be its way of revealing itself to you.   Find a quiet place or just relax at your computer, being in nature, or listening to music, could enhance the experience.

Relax your mind ... your body....

Prepare as you would for meditation. Close your eyes. Still your thoughts and allow your consciousness to bring into view that which you seek at this time – your Totem Symbol or Power Animal.

Write it all down. Record it. Draw it. Analyze it.
