Whether or not we wish to believe it, Mother Earth is full of passion, but is very sensitive and shows emotion through acts such as war, machines, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, the plauge, over-population, over-exploitation, nuclear fusion.
I have been studying animal behavior for around 15 years. Much of it is based on various Native American traditions and stories about our kindred spirits. Each animal totem has many characteristics, each very unique in arrangement, yet an essential part of the ecosystems balance. For more information on animal symbolism, I encourage you to read these books: Dreaming With The Wheel, Sun Bear and Wabun, Dancing with the Wheel, Sun Bear & Wabun; Medicine Cards, Sans & Co.; Psyche and Symbol, Carl Jung; The Selfish Gene, Hawkins.
