It has been a few weeks since I saw any owls while traveling down the hwys and byways. This is nesting time for the Raptors and I have seen a hawk or owl head poking out of the tops of some nest, so there hasn't been a whole lot of hawks or owls, out and about lately. So this morning was a little more painful and hands stiffer than usual , so I was having my morning coffee ,pipe, and pity party, I called out for sister owl to make an appearance today to lighten up my spirits and as soon as I spoke out and called for sister owl, she showed up within seconds, sitting on an electric pole staring at me!

"what a joy to see you this morning sister owl, thank you for letting me know that I am not alone, and that you are still around me, lending me your help."

OWL apparently is my POWER totem my Moon or night energy and the BALD EAGLE is my sun or day energy  .I have two power totems it would seem.

If one follows  an 'EARTH MEDICINE' PATH you will find that you have a number of helpers on one's journey and that you are never alone.

you have a BIRTH TOTEM,  mine is BEAVER   and it corresponds to your SUN SIGN, which is found by the date of birth,  and with this totem you have a plant, stone, and color that are your helpers  while you journey the wheel, you have a CLAN TOTEM,   mine is TURTLE, which is the elemental  EARTH,clan totem that is also found by your birth date and it also has a plant, stone and color that are yours to help, and you have a SHADOW TOTEM which sits opposite you on the Medicine wheel mine is SNAKE and it too has a plant , stone, and color .

Then you have a POWER TOTEM  that is essentially YOU in all you incarnations it is the EXPRESSION  of your SOUL, mine is the OWL.

You also have a LIFE THEME which is like your RISING SIGN or  ASCENDANT in astrology,  I am not quite sure who this is in my critter friends that are with me, it is either  the HERON, ,HORSE,  I am not quite sure how you find out exactly how this one is determined.

And then you have a LIFE MISSION which I would of thought was the life theme one but any hoo, it is your 'higher calling' your specific role you are in order to ful fill your purpose, and again it is one of the above 2 critters I mentioned here. Horse or Heron is  either the theme or mission .

If you are interested in who your helpers are click on my bookmarks 'LIFE PATH' totems and figure out whose yours are.

I have found that working with these helpers, helps me to know I am never alone, these totems are the bridge between the SPIRIT AND EARTH realms, and bring messages over from beyond the rainbow bridge to guide, help and teach us what we need to know.  Some people have 'ANGELS', apparently these are my angels, who have taken on earth critter bodies  to work with me. The word 'ANGEL' means messenger, and so my angels are owls, eagles, snake, turtle, beaver,horse, heron, deer.raven/crow  which is my family on my moms side clan totem which is on our family crest 3 ravens.

I first learned we have 9 totems , and I used cards to pick mine, but over the years these 9 have come to me either in dreams or in the phyiscal  and it has always been these 9 that have showed up , not all together , but  whoses ever the energy and lesson that I needed it would show up to deliver it.

I love working with totems so much more than with angels, because I can see them in the physical realm everyday,and since being a double earth energy person  I am a double Taurus, with Aquarius rising., its the Aquarius rising that gives me the gypsy energy I have other wise I would be bogged down in the soil never rising high enough to get anything done.

for what it is worth
