Animal Symbolism
"The animal world has much to teach us. Some animals are experts at survival and adaptation, some never get cancer, some embody strength and courage, while others exude playfulness. Animals remind us of the potential we can unfold, but before we can learn from them, we first must be able to speak with them." ~Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews

The animals want to interact with us. They want us to listen to their wisdom. Regardless of what term you call it - totem animal, power animal, spirit animal, animal spirit guide, animal guide - the animals want us to listen.

Below are gifts and products so that we can better learn about ourselves through the animals around us.

Part I introduces the tribes and their traditional uses of fetishes. Part II contains the stories and legends associated with the animals and other figures represented by fetish forms. Part III covers the materials used. To many of us, it's a collection of "folk tales" --where Badger gave corn its many colors and where Black Body used crystals to make the stars, which his helpers clean and replace each day. To America's indigenous people, it is the real world. Anyone who has glimpsed the depth of meaning in the traditions and cosmologies of their cultures will find a wealth of information in this richly illustrated handbook.
