Totem Animals

Picture
AMAROK
​

In Inuit mythology 'Amarok' is the name of a gigantic wolf, said to devour anyone foolish enough to hunt alone at night.
According to the legend Amarok who was a lone wolf, came to the people when the Caribou was so plentiful that the herd had begun to weaken and fall sick.  Amarok came to prey upon the frail and ill Caribou.  Thus allowing the herd to become healthy once more, so that man could hunt.

​SNOW WOLF
​

The wolf offers some of the most striking meanings in
the realm of spirit animals, when the wolf shows up in
your life, pay attention to what your intuition is telling you.
The power of the wolf brings forth instinct, intelligence,
appetite for freedom, and awareness of the importance
of social connections, it can also symbolize fear of being threatened and lack of trust.

MATO

​The bear has been worshiped throughout time
as a powerful totem, as a spirit animal in touch
with the earth and the cycles of nature. It is a
powerful guide to support physical and emotional healing, inspiring in those who need it, the courage
to stand up against adversity.

When an eagle appears, you are on notice
to not accept the status quo, be courageous
and stretch your limits, reach higher and become more than you believe you are 
capable of.  Look at things from a new, higher perspective.  Be patient with your present circumstances knowing that the future holds  possibilities that you may not yet be able to  see. You are about to take flight.
