An animal totem is simply an animal or group of animals that a person identifies with spiritually. They can also be called animal guides. One of the most delightful inner connections that many people enjoy is with what we identify as Animal Spirits or Totems. That this experience and tradition goes back many thousands of years is shown by such evidence as the fact that 9 of the 12 Zodiac symbols are animals, there are archeological records indicating the use of Totem Spirits in almost every area of the Globe and dating from as far back as 3200 ACE and as recently as 100 years ago. It is also supported by the vast amount of corroborative lore supplied by, Norse and Celtic Mythology, Japanese Folklore, Australian Aboriginal teachings, Native American scholars, and spiritual development teachings from all areas of the world The spirits of these animals chose to dwell with your own spirit and stay with you throughout your lifetime. It is believed by many that you do not choose what animal you are spiritually connected to. But some do believe that you choose your totem, and they also choose you.
