If I could chose which power animal, it would be a Bengal Tiger or a Snow Leopard. I am curious to know what it might really be though.

But I wasn't sure what to do or how to go about it. I lived in a big city at the time.<br />I went to the wildest place I could find, a park near the edge of town which bordered onto farmland. I found a hidden place and sat under a tree and closed my eyes. I sat there for a while (feeling a little silly) and tried to open myself up to whatever would come. I asked in my head for a sign of some sort, some help to know if I was doing this right? <br />When I opened my eyes there was a fox in the field in front of me, he had spotted me sitting there and was staring right at me. We stayed that way for a few minutes, looking each other in the eye, and then he dropped his head and slowly walked off. I have never forgotton it!<br />It began a life long feeling in me of connection to the land and its creatures, which I now share with others (I now work on a nature reserve)<br />I dont think he is my 'power animal', but he was an animal with a power over my life.Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849456491389451096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058908593695101006.post-50639762123539764342010-12-15T05:21:30.356-08:002010-12-15T05:21:30.356-08:00Can't believe I just happened across this blog...Can't believe I just happened across this blog today ... My first novel had everything to do with animal totems, and I learned a bit about them from a friend of mine who knows a lot about that kind of stuff. My third novel is crying out for more of that.

I was hoping for a noble lion or a rather sexy panther, but the animal that materialised in the clearing before me was a little white duck.<br /><br />I've always enjoyed looking at the pointed little upturned ends of ducks, legs paddling gently, top half submerged looking for food.<br /><br />Speaks volumes about me, if I'm honest. Much more appropriate than a lion or a panther.<br /><br />Ali xxxAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058908593695101006.post-19402116381524730772010-03-21T09:29:45.620-07:002010-03-21T09:29:45.620-07:00Hi Jane,

They play an important role in my book and were, at one time, revered for many reasons. One of the things was how they shed their skin and "renewed" themselves. I think this was something people admired and envied. They are fearsome and demand respect. And they've been around forever.

I'm always attracted to stones and every time I go some place stoney, I seem to end up coming home with several in my pocket, which sometimes makes the bit about thanking the stone and returning it to its original place a bit difficult - several of my stones are from rather inaccessible place. Do you think that it might be bad karma to 'steal' stones, or might it possibly be ok if you keep them with lots of other stone friends in a nice big bowl on the sideboard? <br />Just don't quite get bit about ending up with 8 symbols, esp. as most of my stones seem to be round-ish and don't always have distinct sides. Possibly being a bit dim. Found a fab stone at Lyme at the weekend with what looks like the fleeting impression of a fish. Now what could that mean... <br /><br />(Ooh, have also got (almost) rude word as word verification - perhaps someone somewhere thinks I'm being facetious.

I was a proper bookworm, reading everything from The Water Babies when I was very small (remember that?!) to A A Milne and then to Treasure Island and beyond. I loved Daphne du Maurier's 'Rebecca' (precocious little shit that I was) and frightened myself half to death with true crime books.<br /><br />My boys are both mad about books. The 11 year old is nutty on those Cherub books,and the 14 yr old loves Garth Nix. They're both also nutty about the playstation, but happily the two don't seem to clash too much. <br /><br />Your new book sounds fab, Jane, and I'm sure both mine will want to read it (especially as I'm a personal friend of the author *cough*)<br /><br />Big hugs! xxEnglish Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761258925161245115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058908593695101006.post-85471312215377733282009-12-28T08:37:28.454-08:002009-12-28T08:37:28.454-08:00Just when I thought I couldn't love "Walk...Just when I thought I couldn't love "Walker" any more - this tops it all off!
