Walking with Your Spirit Totem Animals: Discovering the Four Animals That Guide You Through Life

by Shawn Leonard

From Shawn Leonard, Indigenous medium and host of Spirit Talker, comes a guide for assembling your unique team of spirit totem animal guides to be your personal guides through your life.

We are deeply connected to the animal nation, and through the four stages of life—Childhood, Youth, Adulthood, and Elderhood—there are four sacred animal totems that guide us energetically using their sacred medicine.

In Walking With Your Spirit Totem Animals, Mi’kmaq medium and host of Spirit Talker Shawn Leonard invites readers on a profound journey into the mystical world of animal totems. His insightful guide reveals how specific animal totems, that are personal to each and every one of us, support us. Leonard intertwines personal anecdotes with spiritual teachings, illustrating how these animal guides have appeared in his own life—his totems are Buffalo/Bison, Eagle, Polar Bear, and Owl—and provided wisdom at each stage.

The book includes comprehensive discussions on the Medicine Wheel and practical tools such as prayers and meditations to help readers connect with their own animal totems. Leonard also incorporates reflections on the connection between pets and their spiritual roles, messages revealed through animal dreams, and encounters with the animal nation in the astral realm.

[Alissa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very well written and interesting book. It starts off more about the author and his life and then goes into the various teachings of the seven grandfather teachings and the totems. I found some sentences/paragraphs were repetitive which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. It wasn’t frequent but it was noticeable. Overall a very interesting book.
