THE OTTER:The otter was an important cult animal in ancient Peru and, for some reason, paired with the ocelot. The Ainu of Japan, however, think the otter is forgetful and wasteful. To the Celts, the otter was a very magickal creature; it accompanied the god Cernunnos. Native Americans said the otter symbolized female energy because it lived in both the earth and Water Elements. This energy could be used by both men and women. However, they also called it a Trickster being.
