Animal Totems; Begin the process of discovering your animal totems by examining the animals you have been most interested in,and the times of your life they seemed more interested in them.
Here are some suggestions:
1) Which animal or bird has always held your interest? ( those animals which fascinate us are probably totems to you because we are drawn to that which most resinates to our personality)
2) Which animals do you see most frequently when in nature?
Have you had encounters with animals ?
3)which animals in the world have your interest now?
4)What animal scares you the most? ( this relates to dealing with your fears, and this animal will take that form to help guide you to face your fears)
5)Do you dream of animals and they are one's you never forget?(these often reflect a dreamscape, or spirit walk, and this may be your spirit totem)
