It is said that some totem animals may be with us for life and others may come and go as our needs change and our life lesson evolves.

The Blue Heron is what I refer to as my primary totem because we knew each other first, and longest. But there are occasionally times when I feel he is farther from me and I find myself keeping closer company with crow and chickadee and others.

Turtle is a wonderful totem, often representing Mother Earth herself. Many indigenous North Americans referred to the continent (the whole world, as they knew it) as Turtle Island.
