Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 Would anyone have any suggestions about a site where I could learn a bit about totems? It has been suggested that my vision of the peacock feather of golden light during my attunement might be an indication that the peacock is my totem. Does this sound reasonable to you folks? I've never researched this, and don't know where to begin, but at least I know that there is *always* someone on this list who knows the answers and is generous enough to share their knowledge. Thanks in advance for this information. F ============== " Man makes plans, God laughs. " --Stein ============== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 http://www.rainbowcrystal.com I have found good info on the above site--don't know if peacock is there or not--too tired to go look at the moment. Hope something there speaks to you as I could not put off answering your post-- Linda lovinglinks Richard M.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Hi Florie: I suggested the Bear & Co Animal Cards and " Animal Speak " by Tom Andrews a couple of weeks ago for someone else looking for animal information; I use both of them when I am working with people who are developing a new relationship with a power animal. The peacock is an interesting bird; its cry sounds like a woman, and the male has its famous brilliant feather display. In Greek mythology the peacock is the symbol of the goddess Hera (Juno), who placed the eyes of her faithful servant Argus in the peacock's tail to honor him after he was killed by Hermes (Mercury) while in her service. Her chariot is drawn by peacocks. Read some information about Hera's aspects (Hera means " lady " in ancient Greek), which include marriage and the protection of fidelity, and an interesting gift she has for perpetually renewing her own virginity by bathing in a special spring ;-) She can also bestow the gift of prophecy... maybe this is an indicator for you, eh, Florie? You might also do a websearch on peacocks and read about their behaviors, mating practices, diet, etc. Often this sort of research is useful in determining the kinds of gifts/support/lessons an animal has brought to you. Finally, if you can obtain a peacock feather or some representation of one, you can place it somewhere that you will be reminded of your totem and honor its energy and gifts. Enjoy your journey!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Florie, I have been a student of Shamanism for almost 14 years. Whenever I hear anyone talk about power animals I have to remember that they are speaking from their experiences and cultural influence. I follow some of the Native American definitions for their variuos totems but I am of Celtic origin. Also being a pagan there may be different relationships than for someone who identifies with some or all of the Christian teachings. Don't look to others interpretation on what you saw. Go into your inner self and ask what it means to you. Rich Haslam -- In , " Richard M.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2000 Report Share Posted October 26, 2000 Thank you for that good and sensible advice, Rich. Learning to trust my own intuition is a lesson that I've been trying to learn for a while. You've just confirmed it for me. Be well, Florie ============== " Man makes plans, God laughs.
