xd Well, alrighty then.

A week ago now, Vaughan and I went on a walk down to this shortcut between my street and my friend's street, which runs through the bush. [Off topic] The place was amazing- so much life, and energy, and just everything was amplified. Aaaaaaaanyway.... ninja

Two cats followed us from one of the nearby houses- they seemed to be siblings, and one male, one female. Figuring they knew the bush better than we did, I asked them to show us some cool spots (we were looking for somewhere to do a circle). At the first fork in the path, the female went right, and the male went straight ahead. Knowing that the right was a dead end, we followed the female first. She stopped, and sat on the riverbank, just staring at the other side. Eventually we decided to move on, and follow the male, and she shortly joined us. Long story short, between the pair of them, they nudged us towards discovering some really awesome spots, one in particular which would have been perfect for circles. Of course, when casting a circle, you often want a representation of the elements- so I started looking for a way to get back down to the river. There was, I swear, a perfect path down, like it was meant to be there, and at the bottom...

We were standing on the opposite side of the riverbank, exactly where the female cat was staring.

Somewhere in there, Vaughan decided that the male's name was Angus, and I agreed- it just fit. And as we were leaving, I finally found the name I was looking for for the female- Selene.

My point is- at one stage I thought "I wonder if Selene could be my animal totem- and maybe, Angus could be Vaughans?". Just a wandering thought, about halfway through our walk around the bush, and ever since I thought it, I haven't seen her once. Angus stayed with us, and greeted us when we went back on Saturday, but I still haven't seen Selene.

I'm wondering if she really was my animal totem, and once she'd gotten her message across, she disappeared. I don't know... o_O

Selene had a shaved patch near the back of her...
so she must have had an operation...
Can't help but worry about what must have happened to her...
Angus is cool man =P
Angus is a bit shy, but very friendly...
So you can't approach him directly or he'll run...
I'd never met him before but I still knew i had to bob down to his level and wait for him to approach us... I donno... Sounds wierd...
Selene is awesum aswel...
she's very strong and graceful...
She approached us right away aswel, so she must be confident...

both are medium haired cats.
Angus is white with big orange and... something else patches.... (black?)
Selene is grey-is black and white.
(I noticed Jess didnt hav a description... Feel free to add to it btw ^^)

Anyway they were just awesum...
And we said that we'd clean up the bush (LOTS of beer bottles and random trash... even an old matress down there confused )
and said that we had to go down more often...

I'm wondering if I AM an earth element after all...

Yeah- it was so awesome down there, but everytime we came across another bottle, I just felt so guilty because I didn't pick it up, but I couldn't pick it up, because I had no rubbish bags, and arggh! crying

Sounds like a totem to me have you tried to contact her in your dreams ?

I know that I havent... Can't speak for Jess tho...
How exactly do you go about doing something like that?

If you're referring to the spell you posted in this thread, then yes, I've been trying that for maybe two weeks or so? But is there a more specific method?

I've been trying to contact my animal totem through meditation and it has slowly beem working. There are several ways to go about it really. I'll try the dream spell though.

Yea I was talking about a dream spell. and since Kato does the dream stuff I would ask him.but I can also look in to it. I'll get back to you. But if the totem spell hasen't worked yet then Selene I would say is your totem animal. heart

My suggestion would be to look in the Guild Spell Resource and read the guide to dream magick, by doing a combination of Bayleigh's method of writing the spell and my method of casting the spell in the astral plane then the spell should be enhanced to a point where it will be successful in a short matter of time.

biggrin smile we saw selene there the other day... smile biggrin
She helped us find a wand for me... And a dog xd
Well actually she helped me find alot of possible wands...
She'd guide us along... If we fell behind she'd wait for us at the corner...
When she found where she was going to she'd sit down for a bit and wait until we'd completel saught up, then sniff/rub against a good possible wand...
then she'd wait for me to decide whether or not I was taking it with me, and we'd move on...
After trying this a few times, I was on my way back down from one of th spots she lead us to, and I just put my hand on a branch, and it snapped off... My immediate thoughts were 'oh crap............' and after putting my projecting hand on the tree, saying sorry, explaining things and giving energy (all in my head, but I suppose it still DOES count as talking to a tree XD.... Don't tell anyone... ninja ) We noticed (oh, the 'we' I've been refering to since the beginning is Jess and I) that the branch was long, but not quite my height... It was almost perfectly straight... It was slightly flexable and quite sturdy... I had talked about the fact earlier that I wanted either one that is of similar thickness and size to Jess' or a staff length one (mayb slightly shorter)... well this one is slightly shorter than staff length, and about the thickness of Jess' wand...
The only thing was, there was a small branch-ish bit at the very bottom... Just a bit jutting out... It looked quite sturdy... Jess grabbed it and tugged at it a little, but without the intention to snap it off... It looked very sturdily in place... the kind of thing you'd have to bend right back for it to snap and then, when it did, It probably wouldn't break evenly...
But I wrapped my hand around it gently, said some things in my head about it... and only moved my hand on it slightly, and it came right off... I didnt put and force or effort into it O_o...
So now I have a wand...
Ooh - also... It has a place near the middle that fits my hand grip perfectly, and when i fold it there and relax and walk... It only doesn't scrape acress the ground by like... 1mm confused
It's cool...

Edit: I have just stepped on said branch and broken about 5cm off the end O_o... Lame...

*has just noticed Jess has not posted something on this previously*
Angus followed us by himself when our coven ws going to have a circle down there... Maybe it was the smell of chicken tho... =P
I don't remember details too well, but that's because I'm not writing this close enough to the time that it actually happened... blegh...

I have a funny feeling that I may have grabbed the branch myself to steady myself a little earlier, too. It was VERY stable looking...

I like stories you should do more of them. smile
PostPosted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 3:24 am


xd We do have another one, but it's more Vaughan's story than mine- I just added the relevances which makes it even cooler... I dunno if he'd be okay with me telling it for him or not... o_O

My spirit guide is a grey wolf and I also have spirit bird a peregrine falcon. I see falcons all over the place on my way home from work. I have always had an affinity with wolves. I dream about them, they talk to me in my dreams, but the small grey one is always with me. I can feel her walking with me and helping me to ease my tension when I am upset or angry.
