For me, my birth totem is the skunk, my coming of age totem is the cat (big and small), also the Dragon and Unicorn/Horse (mythological and real). I feel an affinity toward several other animals, but not to the point of totems yet. However, since I'm entering a new phase of life (ie, middle age, I ain't old YET), I am expecting a new one at any time now.

For me the wolf has a very special meaning. I dont know why but i have allways been drawn to the wolves.  I have also recently come to realise I have a connection with Owls. What they represent and symbolise seems...comfortable and reasuring for me.  |

Well my birth totem was the fox, and will always be the foremost of my totems(Heh, do to this I especially love the mythological kitsune of Japan). Since the Morrigan is and always will be my goddess, I am also sybolized by the Raven and all of its aspects as well, making it my 'spiritual totem'. It is in this way that I derived my true name, Bran meaning Raven and Sinnach meaning Fox. Out of respect for my two totems, I carry a staff whose main features are the carven fox head at the top of the staff, and a decoration of crow feathers bound to leather thongs in the staff. Lol, and before anyone asks, no I did not kill a crow to get the feathers. Thats another story that I might go into if anyones interested.

haha! How wonderfully lovely that Wren gave me a hard time, it made me venture out into the other threads... And, Here I am in totem land! Yay!!
Well, I have had Raven with me since I was 11 or 12..Perhaps before then, but, that's when I can recall noticing the precense......
This year, I made contact with the Snake, this totem is more of my shadow totem, This animal, I fear more than anything, and, I had some trouble accepting it. Which, let me tell you, was not a very good idea... The Snake just chose to traumatize me when I wouldn't accept it. I also have Okami, which is Japanese for Wolf, I don't know yet if Okami is part of my totem, or, if he is my guardian, I am just recently been getting to know him better...
But, so far, these are who I've been shown and have been working with, they are quite a blessing

Well, Wren (obviously), Turtle (most recently), Wolf (interesting how many of us feel this), Butterfly and Dragonfly. Crow has made an appearance more than once and I've recently discovered a strong connection to The Morrigan as well, so I suppose that makes sense.
A hard time, lala??? That was nothing!

Mine are the bull, salmon, and the hawk. Though it has been suggested to me in the past that I have strong associations with the Stag as well. That one I'm not sure about.
Each of these came to me in a different manner, the bull who chased me, the Salmon who nourished my mind, and the hawk who guided me.
