Is a power animal the same as a totem animal?'

 

[Chris the Cat]

Merry Yule!

Mine's the moose.
Allways had a special connection to the animal, deep from within.
Someone my wife knew in Holland got into the matter deeper, since she had quite some experience in this field and came up with a description that perfectly matched me, without having ever having contacted me in any way.

As far as I understand it you have a totemanimal that is with you for life and there are those that bring a message by appearing into your life in a profound way at a certain stage. Several animals have several meanings.

Maybe some searches on the totemanimal you are dealing with now might help.

I used to meet with some friends in a village outside Cov. and one evening we did a meditation to find our power animal, well there were bears and wolves, eagles you know the sort of thing but the only animal that came to me and persisted was a mouse, as they were going around the circle I kept thinking wolf, eagle, lion anything but a mouse, so when it came to my turn I blurted out mouse, afterwards I realised wehat a wonderful resilient animal the mouse has to be just to say alive so im very fond of my power animal.
In the Chinese calender im a fire monkey which I am by nature.

What follows is only my belief it it not right or wrong it's just the way it works for me.

A power animal can also be called your Main spirit guide, it being the one that will always be there to guid you.

A totem animal can be you main guid for a particular time in your life where you need to draw or be guided with an alternative strength/characteristic of that totom. And your totom spirit can alter accordingly.

Under pining this will be your main guid that will always be close at hand, also not all totem spirits are animals a guid could equally be an ancestor or in some cases (for me anyway) A tree or plant.

This as I've said is just the way I understand and relate to this.

Rob

ps my main guid is the Robin.

Would you please have the decency and respect to let others think differently?
The little signature in the righthand corner shows your status exactly.
I'd use a different description, though...

Missed the rude bit
Anyway, how do you actually figure out who or what your "guide" is?

serious question, not taking the pea.

Quite happy to discuss via pm as I'm very interested in this.

best wishes

As am I if people are happy to discuss it openly....

 

[RonW]

Totems present themselves as animals that show themselves very noticably more than usual, either by increased presence of themselves or by increased awareness by you. They are meant to send you a message, often in times when you struggle with certain issues.
A guide might make itself noticeable by creating deep feelings of a presence, sudden strong mental images or recollections or smells.

These are my personal experiences.

 

[Robbi]

i am genuinely interested in this.........how do you interpret the message from the totems ?

 

[boatman]

So remember folks any sort of nonsense can be posted by SOME people but if you shine a rational light on it you will be sanctioned. I thought no religion meant no religion not some religion by some people .

As to the topic, of course some tribal groups had totem animals and animals they were prevented by geis from eating and there is a medical condition known as clinical lycanthropy do "power animals" lie somewhere on this spectrum?
