How can you look that sort of thing up? your animal totem?

You are so cute when you are half asleep

I'm hoping you're meaning calm, gentle, and sometimes feisty.

animal totem...One look at the magnificent coat of a Tiger reveals much as the black stripes that are overlaid against the backdrop of orange/rust coloring suggests a certain duality. In nature when there is such a significant contrast, this will often indicate a duplicity of meaning and/or purpose.

For the Tiger, this contrasting of patterns and colors suggests the Yin/Yang principle. Yin/Yang is the concept that all things in life are balanced via opposites and these opposites are equal halves of the ~whole. Female/Male, white/black, light/dark are all examples of this polarity that is the basic foundation of this concept. Therefore, when looking at the Tiger Totem and its beautiful coat of mixed patterns and colors, it becomes evident that this is a creature being that possesses the balance of energies we may understand best as Yin/Yang.

***As an animal totem Tiger will walk beside the two-legged who is one of extremes in nature, feelings and temperament. These are the individuals who run either hot or cold, full of passion or completely detached, there are very few periods of lukewarm for the Tiger Soul.

The challenge for these two-leggeds is in finding the balance between extremes and understanding that the two halves are not contradictions of one another, but parts of an integrate Whole. By experiencing first one facet of life, feeling and being then the “opposite, the Tiger learns the importance of Balance.

Often times, the two legged with Tiger as an Animal Totem will walk through the flames of hell and back several times during their lifetime. Many painful lessons will be encountered wherein he/she will expend themselves to the point of exhaustion and utter depletion, to then arise like the Phoenix out of their own ashes and begin a new cycle of growth and learning. Life for these souls is experienced whole heartedly and experiences
which may discourage other less motivated individuals are frequently perceived by the Tiger individual as a challenge to be met head on and conquered.

When the two-legged with this awesome Animal Spirit comes to recognize the necessity of balance and harmony, the result is a wonderfully integrated human being. In so merging with the higher octave of Yin/Yang energy, the Tiger Soul embraces his/her inheritance of true Power and Integration.***

So do all my past relationships

your true animal totem is a snake. meaning you may have chosen to mask your ability to change look at the idea that you may fear changing your present state of affairs because this may entail a short passage into discomfort. does this discomfort keep you from assuming the viewpoint of the magician within. is the old pattern safe, reiable, and a rut. in order to glide beyong that place which has become safe but not nonproductive, become snake. release the outer skin of your present idenity. move through the dreamlike illusion that has insisted on static continuity and find a new rhythm as your body guides aross the sands of consciousness, like a river winding its way toward the great waters of the sea, immerse yourself in that water and know that the single droplet which you represent is being accepted by the whole feel snakes rhythm and you will dance freely incorporating those transmuting forces of the universe as a part of your sensual dance of power

that one is not yours.. the snake is yours

Damn bat to the face! He was just starting to like being a tiger

It's ok we all have a little tiger in us.

Don't worry Yin/Yang is a pain anyway for those of us still searching for balance.
