What is your totem animal?

Tricky · 29th December 2004, 06:15 AM

Back when I was into all that spiritual wooism, I had a friend who claimed to be a shaman (she had read a book on it) and she assigned me a totem animal. I was wondering if anyone else had a totem animal and if so, what it was. Does that mean anything to you?

Notably, most totem animals tend to be creatures native to North America, so that's what's on the list. If yours is other, please describe.

(No, URS. Earmouse is NOT an acceptable totem animal!)

Mercutio · 29th December 2004, 06:33 AM

I have one, but its very nature requires me not to disclose it.

I was told that my spiritual guide was an otter. Of course, I cannot accept that. My ego demands that I be the ottest.

Ashles · 29th December 2004, 06:49 AM

Is this more a US thing because I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

I was at a healing circle once where the healer/psychic/whatever declared to one girl that she was a 'dolphin-type person'.

He must have been correct because she giggled excitedly and said "Ooh I like dolphins!"

She was 30 by the way.

Then he brought out a pile of twigs and we had to choose one that represented us.

How I managed to stop laughing out loud is a mystery that still baffles me.

With regards to the list, can I be a penguin please?

Lisa Simpson · 29th December 2004, 07:19 AM

The IPU is not on the list! How could you forget the IPU.

Anyway, yes, I was once told my totem animal. I was told it is a cat.

A few years ago, I happened to meet a "shaman" through a friend of mine. We ended up having a conversation about something, I don't remember, when he stopped me right in the middle of a sentence and asked, "Is there an animal you see very often? One in or near your home?"
My first answer was a squirrel-- I live in a city and see them all the time as they congregate at my birdfeeder.

He then proclaimed my "spirit animal" was a squirrel.

If it is, it's probably Foamy.

Z · 29th December 2004, 08:03 AM

Wolf - and Dragon - oh, and Eagle. Oh-oh-oh and IPU. And winged monkeys.

(Multiple personalities require multiple totem spirits, right?

)

IN all seriousness, when I dream I often dream that I am in a wolf form, so I consider Wolf my totemic spirit. Noble, yet vicious creatures, Wolves.

I have a friend whose totem animal is the walrus, but I'll be darned if I'm telling HER that. :P

Ashles · 29th December 2004, 08:11 AM

Animals that are unlikely to be anyone's totems:

Kangaroo
Duck-Billed Platypus
Gibbon
Insect of any kind
Hippo
Sheep
Thomson's gazelle
Eel
Terrapin
Vole
Crab
Dingo

If it ain't cool, it won't be a totem.

"Yes I'm an eel kind of person..."

I have no idea what you're talking about, but nevertheless I grab this fine opportunity to pronounce leopard as my totem animal.

Well, we already have one platypus (and I'm sure we have a wombat lurking somewhere), and I think for insect it would depend on the kind. Some wasps are really cool.

But let me add to your list of unlikely totemic animals

Warthog (except perhaps to Philbert Desenex)
Heyena
Buzzard
Lamprey
Weasle
Jellyfish
Manatee
Kinkajou (it just sounds too funny)
Gnu
Tapeworm (except for Mercutio)
Leech
Flounder
Whelk (The most depraved of mollusks)
Dodo
Dung beetle

Ashles · 29th December 2004, 08:35 AM

Whelk - that's great.

Oh if only I'd thought of that in my healing circle...

I'd be pretty upset if a friend told me my totem animal was a walrus. In fact, I'd probably end the friendship. Not because it's a walrus, per se, but because I could never remain friends with someone who believed in made-up fantasies like totem animals.

So I guess that means my totem animal is the Great Red-Tailed Jerkhole.

NoZed Avenger · 29th December 2004, 08:38 AM

Red tailed?

NoZed Avenger · 29th December 2004, 08:40 AM

Actually, I called someone that I know is into this and she assures me I am a "leech." I assume she knew I was an attorney.

She is off my Christmas card list now.

I was told that my totem animal is Mother Spider. She is the totem creature for writers (no smartass comments about my entries here, thank you) and wherever I go, spiders appear.

Invite me over next time you would like your own cobwebs!

Hey, if rebecca can have a made-up totem animal, I can have one that recently moved to a higher spiritual plane. See avatar.

rebecca · 29th December 2004, 10:27 AM

After careful consideration, I have realized that the response "North American Jerk Weasel" is approximately 67% funnier than my initial answer. So I'm changing my totem animal to that. In the future, I'll spend a little more time examining my choices for optimal "funny" before posting. Thank you, that's all.

Listen well O my son:

It is said in many westerns, particularly those of newer vintage which are a little more interested in the lives of the native tribes, that many native religions feature the idea of a "spirit guide" in the form of one of the animals native to their region. Typically you find your totem during a quest of some sort involving starvation, a long walk, painful rituals, etc. At the point of dreaming/hallucination one animal form comes to you, becoming your totem. Each animal represents particular qualities which can be seen by that animal's role in the mythology. You don't necessarily have to go with big scary things like a wolf or a bear to be a warrior for instance.

In many gift shops you can buy a "fetish", which is a small stone carved into the likeness of some animal, and it will include a little card telling you what that animal is supposed to represent.

Is there such a native religion? I don't know. It's probably a mishmash of many tribal religions, the same kind of mishmash that gave use generic Indian-language for old westerns like papoose, brave, "how", wampum, etc.

I chose "wolf" just because, I dunno, I like big dogs and wolves. People often give me wolf images as gifts.

Is there something wrong with that? Where do the rest of you bury your important things, the front?

By the way, when you're playing tug of war with the dog over a stick, how do you keep from getting splinters in your tongue?

Silly - use your opposable thumbs to sand the stick down first!

I'm more concerned about your appropriate use of dog biscuits. Especially if you have a significant other.

I want one of those!

I shall immediately head into town and ask people where I can find the nearest fetish shop as I want an animal to come preferably as a result of a painful ritual.

It's like Christmas all over again!
