Personal Power Animals: For Guidance, Protection and Healing

by Madonna Gauding

Horse heals emotional wounds. Buffalo guards new ventures. Raven foretells the future.  Drawing on sacred teachings, ancient and modern, this practical new guide helps you identify and honor your personal power animals-those inner companions in the forms of natural or magical animals whose qualities you need to progress in this world. Access their wisdom as healers, protectors, oracles, and life guides, using simple exercises and meditations; spirit journeys; making an altar and protective amulets; and interpreting animal oracles and dreams. Meet animals in myth and in Celtic, Egyptian, and Native American spirituality. A complete directory provides background and interpretations for 75 land, sea, and air animals, as well as magical beasts like the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn.

Reviews

[Kendra · Rating 3 out of 5]

First part of the book is overview discussions on animal totems, guides, power, etc, with further separations in meditations and healing with various animal guides. The last half of the book discusses the meanings behind the individual animals, with a few historical bits of info. A good secondary or third reference to other books.
