Traditional cultures all over the world knew the power and wisdom of animal spirits (totems). By identifying your personal one, you could discover a powerful ally, guardian and teacher. Some cultures believed everyone had a single totem while others believed that each of us is guided and guarded by a number of animal spirits. Finding your power animals is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a more balanced, wise and spiritual life path. Catriona provides a program of discovery that can help you in the process of not only discovering but also building a meaningful relationship with your totem. Catriona also offers totem animal journeys to help you delve deeply into the realm of spirit and connect with your totem animal or animals.
Traditionally discovering one's totem animal was an important rite of passage and in many societies it was tied to entering adulthood (and in some cases still is even in today's hectic, modern world). There were many ways for a seeker to find their totem ranging from interpretation of signs by a spiritual leader to a personal vision quest. No matter what the method was, the uncovering of a personal animal spirit guide or guardian was almost always a voyage of self-discovery. Unfortunately, the importance of finding your totem has been all but lost to modern society. However, Catriona can help discovering one's totem animal through a series of practices and techniques that she has developed. Totem animals also choose the person - not the other way around - this is why it is critical to use "spiritual" and intuitive methods for finding your totem.
The art and science of discovering one's totem animal is a mystery to most people today. Fortunately, this ancient knowledge has not been completely lost and many people all over the world are rediscovering the importance of establishing a relationship with the spirits of nature. Thankfully, there are a handful of guides who can help you in finding your totem when you are ready. Catriona draws from her teachings to provide guidance for those seeking to identify and understand the animal spirit or spirits that guide and protect them.
