Thanks for the response Polly...fascinating topic.
On the totem animals : As a child, I never thought it odd that there were always strange animals around me eg i use to visit this old lady down the road that had this crow as a pet....it always drew me but i never thought it meant anything. When I started becoming more spiritually aware, i started noticing all the animals around me...especially birds....and i have always loved animals....then i went on a course to develop my intuition, low and behold, it was a shaman that presented it....and it got me thinking....so i started reading up on it and bought some books on animal spirits....once i started paying attention to it....it dawned on me that these were my messengers....but still i longed to be "normal" hahaha and to be able to get messages the way other people do.... and then i accidently discovered (!) this lady on the web that will contact your spirit helpers with one question only for free...and i asked about this. The answer that came back astounded me as i was told that I am receiving my messages but that I dont acknowledge it as i am trying too hard...and that they speak to me through dreams as well.... i have always received all the information and knowledge that i need through animal messengers and through my dreams....so i have also learned that one should stop trying to fit in with what is considered the norm and to just be yourself....by the way: I own 2 yorkies, one toy pom and one husky, 2 cats and a huge aquarium.....I always collect feathers where-ever I go....and at the moment I have an elephant that guides me....I see her constantly in my minds eye and she always lets me know what kind of a day lies ahead of me...!there is also the tiger that shows up in my meditations....as well as the owl....it makes life interesting...
