Year 1: The Dandelion & The Ant

Excerpt from essay on animal totems:

"The crow has an incredible pull as a totem. Their cunning and intelligence allows the potential for a person looking to find wisdom within themselves. The devotion to family makes them a wonderful symbol for those in need of familial support. Their mythic connections to healing could be used for those in poor health. The connection to prophesy and psychic abilities might act as a focus. As a symbol of the spirit world they can act as a mediator between those living seeking those who have passed. The crow may be one of, if not the, most powerful totem animals in the natural world."
