An Indian was discussing life with some young boys.

He said, ‘A battle rages inside me between two wolves.

One wolf is anger, envy, sorrow, fear, greed, arrogance, lies, regret, and self-pity.

The other wolf is joy, peace, hope, humility, kindness, generosity, truth, and faith.’

He said, ‘This same battle goes on inside everyone, even each of you.’

After a minute, one boy asked, ‘Which wolf will win?’

The Indian replied, ‘The one you feed.’

I am a Wolf,

Muscles rippling, free on the mountains,
Great cat of cunning, hunting and seeking,
Teach me quietness and stealth of purpose.
Show me the secrets of quiet magic.
Leadership

This is a very powerful, but very difficult totem.
Cougar medicine is the lesson of the use of power,
how to be an effective, fair leader and not abuse power.

This totem’s gift is how to balance power, intention, strength and grace.

bat:used to play withthe bats and that was my one of my first dream forms..

Bat: Rebirth, longevity, secrecy & initiation, good listener, viewing past lives, letting go of our fears of or misinformation that no longer serves us

BAT

Dark night flyer, lift me higher
Realms of life where loved ones go,
That I might find joy mind to mind,
My heart hurt less. I miss them so.
Teach me that death can hurt much less
If I accept it as no end,
But see it true, just another view
Of life continuing round a bend.

Transition, Rebirth

A Bat totem appearing in your life
is a call for the end of a way of life and the beginning of another.

You must face your greatest fears
and get rid of the part of your life that no longer is needed.
This transition is very frightening for many:
“better the devil you know…”
But you will not grow spiritually until the old parts are gone.

Face the darkness before you and you will find the light in rebirth.

Penguin: Dreaming and Astral Projection

A Penguin Totem can show you how to move freely through the astral plane and the dream dimension. A Penguin person will have lucid dreams and have the ability to change the course of those dreams while still asleep. You can use those same energies to change the course of your waking life as well. Think of the leap the Penguin makes from land into the water – astral projection is just that easy for Penguin people.

If you do Astral Travel with the help of your Penguin,
make sure to elicit the help of your other Totems beforehand.
Your Below totem to help you keep a connection to Mother Earth and the waking plane
and one or more of your most powerful Totems as protectors and guides.

and porcupine or hedgehog:..

PORCUPINE
Innocence, trust, companionship, humility

Prickly, stickly, do not push
Into my life without consent.
Unasked advice has no price.
Control is not good intent.

Innocence, Wonder

The Porcupine has very powerful medicine: that of
faith and trust.
You can move mountains with these powers.

A Porcupine totem reminds you not to get caught
in the chaos of the world, where fear, greed and suffering are commonplace.
Its medicine is relief from the seriousness of life.
Open your heart to those things that gave you joy as a child;
remember fantasy and imagination
and bring into your life again.

If a Porcupine is your totem
you might be overly sensitive to criticism from others
or overly critical of others.
Perhaps you are allowing barbs from long ago
to still effect your life now.

Porcupine people often crave and overindulge in salt intake.
Beware of this and watch your intake.

HEDGEHOG

The Hedgehog teaches how to be on the defense and how to protect yourself.
It shows how to protect the soft inside – your inner self.
