    Totems

    I have discovered that I have 2 totems. Here is how I found out what they are:

    Totem Dream

    I am in bed. Having centered and grounded, I am preparing to go to sleep. As I begin to drift off, I find my thoughts turning toward totem animals, a topic I had been reading about earlier. I decide that at some point in the future I want to try to call my totem. That is when it begins.

    I am in the heart of a forest. I am sitting, legs crossed, at the base of a huge tree. (I'm not sure what kind of tree it was, but I think it was an oak.) I am preparing to send out a call for my totem animal, to have it reveal itself to me. Before I can speak the words, a HUGE crow swoops in and lands just a few yards away. It stares at me intently from bright amber eyes. Moments later a beautiful gray wolf steps out of the trees and sits beside the crow, looking at me with bright blue eyes. And, with that, I awaken.

    I am not sure if what I saw was a vision or a dream, and I'm not realy sure that it matters. All I know is that it felt incredibly real, despite the fact that it was completely silent. Neither animal made a sound. I felt no fear in their presence, nor did I feel threatened by them in any way.

    Later another unusual thing happened:


    The other night as I was going to bed - around 2:00 am - I heard a crow cawing outside my bedroom window. My bedroom is on the second floor of my apartment and there is a tree right outside my window. I thought that strange, but ent on to bed. When I woke up the next morning and was making up my bed, I heard it again. I opened up the curtains and found 7 of them in the tree - all looking directly at me!!!!! As I watched (amazed I might add), 3 flew off together and landed in a tree across the road. A few moments later one flew off by itself and landed in road and began eating something there. Finally the other 3 flew off together and landed in another tree. Strange, no???

    Then a day or two later, I was riding down the road with my partner. In a small grove off to my right, I saw 5 crows in a tree. As soon as we came eve with the tree they were in, all 5 flew off in different directions.

    I recently found out my totem animal when a family of red foxes moved onto my property. At first I was dissapointed but I realized fox was sharing his medicine with me and I needed to listen. I hope that you animals medicine helps you as mine has helped me.

    Blessed Be!

    I've wonder too about the whole dream/vision thing. I don't think there's a difference. My family's clan animal came to me in a dream like that. It walked out of the woods and just sat in front of me.

    And 7 is the number of sovereignty to the Celts, a very good omen. Maybe another Cernunnos reference or if you are dealing with finding your own power or freedom ... maybe something to do with power. ??? And then to break off in groups of 3, that just seems so incredibly significant.
