What a totem animal is
A totem is a mentor animal that reflects your nature and strengths. Its qualities are believed to show in a person's character: the courage of the wolf, the sharp sight of the falcon, the steadiness of the bear. A totem can be seen as a mirror that helps you better understand yourself and your instincts.
The Native American Medicine Wheel
The Medicine Wheel system divides the year into 12 periods, each with its own animal. For example, those born in spring are patronized by the Falcon (initiative and leadership), summer ones by the Deer and Woodpecker (sociability and care), autumn ones by the Raven and Snake (diplomacy and intuition), winter ones by the Moose and Goose (determination). The service determines your animal by day and month of birth.
What your totem says
Each animal carries a set of traits. The Wolf is sensitivity and intuition, the Beaver is diligence and reliability, the Salmon is enthusiasm and generosity, the Bear is patience and steadiness. Knowing your totem, you get a hint about which natural qualities to rely on and how they help you in life.
