Animal Totems
.
Ladybug:
stand for fulfilled wishes, a time of luck and also protection, happiness, material gain, a renewed sense of well-being on the way. They tell us an opportunity is approaching to pursue or capture something you have been wishing for. Sometimes they can appear to tell us to be sure we aren’t limiting our own potential or are failing to reach for our dreams, or that we might be letting others stand in our way of reaching them.
Hawk:
a messenger, and also a sign we need to trust our own perceptions and grasp opportunities that are approaching or perhaps have already come our way; they herald a time of strength and vision, and remind us to examine things closely. Sometimes they indicate a new venture; can help us find a larger over-view of a situation or picture. Hawk can also help us bring past-life recall to the surface.
Skunk:
tell us to create a position of strength and honored reputation by respecting ourselves and “walking our talk”, and to assert ourselves without being overly egotistical; help us learn to avoid/repel those who wish to drain our energy and remind us to use our energy wisely and examine how much we send out to others. Advise us to be proud of accomplishments. May sometimes appear to tell us we might be being too egotistical or leaking away energy we may need.
Shark:
indicates busyness and activity, help us focus on shadows and find what lies below the surface of a situation, and tell us to trust what seems right for us and take advantage of opportunities while using our sense of discernment as a guide. May sometimes appear to tell us we are being too busy or too continuously on the move.
