The term Totem animals pertains to an animal that was melded with your soul upon birth. At least that's the general belief[it depends on Native American traditions, but overall it is seen as the animal guardian of your spirit], because of this it remains with you throughout your life and is an anima...

I'm posting some of my info under Spirits, Ghosts and Angels.

*I noticed a lot of people here are either on a shamanistic path or are considering one. I felt like my knowledge needs to be shared, so i'll be posting a few 'Help' topics for shamanism.* -Also, this was all formatted when I was doing a workshop at a pagan pride day. I ended up not being able to go...

Journeying is when the soul essentially goes "inside the self" through a form of intense meditation with the use of a drum and another person. Normally, the people involved decide the pace of the beat while in the shamanic state. Once the person has been journeying for around 30 min- 1hour...

You said you feel sad, that might be a reflection of yourself. Are you not feeling much self worth? Has something happened to make you feel poorly about yourself? These are all questions to be considered to be sure you understand how the medicine plays into your life and why it has shown up. Self Wo...

There are many different forms of shamanism and different ways to be called. The dominant thing that ties one to shamanism is the affinity for animals, a sense of "journeying" (to non physical places), and an ability to heal. For me I can't heal the living worth anything, I can only harm t...

There technically isn't.
They are used interchangeably to represent an animal from birth that is part of your spiritual self.

Totems/power animals are born to you, they are connected to your soul. They are seen as animals that represent your soul in animal form Spirit guides: Everyone has animals that come to them at different points in life and leave. To be replaced by a different animal. Why do you think you have a totem...

@Shadowphoenix: SHADOWPHOENIX!!! Finally a familiar face! How have you been?!

@ Bats, I thought everyone have power/spirit animals that lend their medicines you in times when you need it then they go on their way but not everyone has totem animals because they are strongly related to Native American backgrounds? Also can a totem animal be from a past life and show itself in ...

Not everyone has a power animal, this is something that has been blown up by everyones sudden interested in shamanism. Power animals are distinct and are only available to people on certain spiritual paths, sometimes this has a lot to do with your past lives. However, everyone has animals that come ...

I didn't find mine for a while. Most of the time they don't talk verbally, they speak to you from within you. So you'll hear it in your head even though they aren't speaking, but you'll know it is them. I have a woman who is somehow related to the moon, she always takes me to a little cabin and ther...
