Totems
Do you have a totem animal? For thousands of years, indigenous tribes have held certain creatures to be sacred, worthy of reverence and protection. We can adapt this ancient practice, if we think of totems as symbols or archetypes. I have had two animals that have inspired me over the course of my life: geese (a symbol of writing and travel) and elephants (an archetype of compassion and leadership). My wife recently discovered her totem, after dreaming about a snow-white lion, which in African culture portends great Earth changes, bringing light and transformation. What animal inspires and guides you?
