The sub title of this book says it extremely well!
Practising Shamanism is a huge transforming influence on your life.As far as I am concerned this book is a masterpeise!

Totem animals serve the same duties as guardian angels to protect and guide.I have some minor points readers of this book need to be aware of.Page 18: "How should you go about selecting the totem that will represent your spirit helper?"You shouldn't select a totem. The Totem that is right for you will make itself known.

This book has seriously affected my life.
I saw this book a few times and finally talked myself into buying it and have never been disapointed since. This book struck such a chord within me. I can honestly say that this book has had an impact on my personal spirituality and the way I view religion and what I believe now as apposed to what I grew up with. It covered not only Native American mythologies on the Totem animals but also Eygptian and others as well, which I thought rounded the book out and made it possible for everyone to find something that applied to them in it.

Who walks within or beside you?
Those who guide come in many guises, including nature's creations. I use the information in Totems both as a writer and personally because it is possible to transform your life; people can change their future. Being in tune with your own force is the most intense sensation of peace that you can find. I have known my spirit guide for many years, and have found that other animals come into my realm, or totem, as my needs change. When my niece was four I began calling her Rabbit, and when she grew up, she asked me why. My brother's family had kept pet rabbits for years; based on what he saw, he disagreed with what I said of the rabbit. Several years later, in Totems, I discovered that my ideas were those of the Native Americans. Animals are significant throughout history. The zodiac links human traits to fish (Pisces), bulls (Taurus), crabs (Cancer), lions (Leo), scorpions (Scorpio), and goats (Capricorn). Egyptians worshipped Bask, the Cat-Mother goddess, while South...
