Most magickal people begin working with totem animals by choosing their favourite creature........One that has fascinated them for most of their lives . ( yep back to my Raccoon and my Wolf!!!) You will find, however, that once the animal kingdom feels the possitive vibrations of your interest in communication, others will step forward at different times in your life to lend you aid or to simply allow you to feel the harmony of the worlds asthey work together on another plane.
Your only requirement is to pay attention and honour that communication. A simple ' thank you' from your lips once you have recieved the information will often suffice. For example, whenever I am worried about something and I am away from home, ravens and crows will show up to let me know that everything is ok. They've also warned me of auto accidents and other hazards on the road, repeatedly. In books about Omens, this is exactly the opposite of what such a flock is supposed to eman, so be careful and don't let old superstitions colour the communication the animals may have for you.
While working at home today, I looked out of my kitchen window and saw a family of squirrels playing in the back garden, reminding me that it is ok to take time away from work to watch their activities, and that taking time to watch the antics of animals can be a fun and meditative experience. Every day I look out for them and know it takes me away from all my worries when i watch them.
Sometimes your favourite animal is not necessarily your strongest totem animal. If this is the case, the animal energy closest to yours will show up in the oddest places. Eventually you'll get the hint. Don't feel bad if you tire of a particular animal and move on to something else. They won't be offended. Just like people, each animal has its own individual energy. As your spirituality heightens, you may grow into communication with a different species......something that better matches your vibratory patterns.
Love and light
