My Totem Animal
Jul. 9th, 2006 11:05 amTo me totem animals are more a philosophy than a religion. The animals represent different ways of thinking, or interacting with the world.
One of the classic totems is The Eagle. Eagles are known for their keen vision. They can see fine details at a great distance. They represent the wisdom of perspective.
The Mouse (for another example) is small and quick. Mice live surrounded by grass, so they cannot see great distances. To a mouse touch is more important than vision. They represent the wisdom of intuition (being "in touch" with the world.)
My own experience is somewhere between the two. ( My Totem Animal )
(For those interested, this is a section from one of my toastmaster speeches.)
