Spirit of the Animals Oracle by Jody Bergsma

This magnificent oracle by Jody Bergsma will guide you on a journey to get to know 51 different animal helpers and discover their powerful medicine.

Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history. Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations. China has an animal associated with every birthday. The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs. Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers. Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem. School sports teams choose animal mascots. It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists. Animals as symbols live in our deepest memories.

What is your animal totem? Do you know already? Would you like to figure it out? Do you have more than one totem?

Working with your totem is a way of connecting with nature’s wisdom and your own intuition. By observing an animal’s environment, social patterns, skills and behaviours and relating those attributes to our own lives, we create a bridge to our own inner teacher. Sayings like “clever as a fox,” “strong  as an ox” or “fierce as a tiger” are an introduction to animal wisdom. Spirit of the Animals seeks to expand this simple concept and facilitate a deeper understanding of the mystery that is animal medicine.

Set includes 51 Animal Spirit Cards, 1 Personal Choice Card, 116-page illustrated Guidebook, and Power Animals Spread Sheet.
