How can I figure out who my Lifelong Animal Totem is?
I've gone to several different sites..
I've gone through a couple of them and they've all come up as a Wolf
Is there a way to fully prove if my lifelong Animal Totem is infact a Wolf or it's just what I want getting in the way of the truth

you can't learn it through tests, quizzes, or being told by anyone human. the Animal Totem is something very personal and specific to you. you'll know when you know. perhaps you should go on a Vision Quest.

This somewhat interests me for I too have noticed some strange sites that label the wolf as the animal that best suits me. Though they never said it was my spirit animal or totem, it always came back the same.

How are animal totems actually useful? They seem pretty superfluous to me and I'd really enjoy hearing about your reasoning behind wanting to discover yours.
How does this actually help with work as an occultist? It sounds like a native american/neo-pagan concept. I know most ancient tribes and cultures revered animals indifferent ways than we do.
i would think in my logic
-- step one
What do i need to accomplish and how can i do that using an animal totem?
---step two
Select appropriate animal for situation
---step 3
create animal totem using prescribed methods and use them how you intended in step 1.
I don't understand how to go from " I'm a wolf animal totem" to using that to further magical or occult study. If you really want to find out tangible knowledge about yourself or others i generally use astrology/numerology/tarot ect.
At any rate I'd love to hear your answers and thoughts.

iDarthy http://ladyhawkesite.tripod.com/Totem.htm meh... seems realy fluffy once it get's down to criteria. confused more than half of those are different wordings of "pick the one that you think is coolest, teehee!" meh. look, just pay attention, and try to follow your intuition. don't be suckered into the trap of expecting anything.

Wolf is a really popular totem. As in so popular everyone I've ever seen who's claimed to have a totem has been a wolf.
Mostly, it's the wolf thing that throws me off. That, and the idea of a totem, while based on the outside knowledge of certain Native American practices, is not nearly the same as the actual Native American practices.

I read the link and honestly it sounds like it's just asking you to pick the one you want. I don't see animals very often because I'm indoors working all the time. I don't have any pets. I'm allergic to cats and dogs. >_> however realistically speaking I'm seriously obsessed with butterflies. Gemini is an air sign and their animals are butterflies and bright colored birds. So that part about me is really tangible since I'm a Gemini. I catch them and keep their wings in a jar.-creepy i know emo - It's not something I feel like doing just because I'm a Gemini, it's something in my personality since i was a child. I'm fascinated with butterflies. Check out the book 'The only astrology book you'll ever need' Seriously that's the title. That is my main astrology reference. >_> You know even then Native Americans had their own set of constellations. Maybe the totem animal was actually determined by what constellation you were born under similar to western astrology. I tend to look down on sites that offer no knowledge or information, only more questions. -- Vittoria

Finding your totem just comes to you. If you have that many coincidences with Wolves then you should look into it. Also I personally think that you could get net totems over time....perhaps the wolf is for you at this point in time but later on you notice another animal or whatever more often. Use and TRUST your intuition!

I think it should be more personal, to bring it out within yourself. Nothing on an internet quiz site is going to tell you anything you don't already know about you.

Zurine I think it should be more personal, to bring it out within yourself. Nothing on an internet quiz site is going to tell you anything you don't already know about you. it wasn't really much of a quiz site.. it was a site that had information about it and some questions but i'm really just looking out for what animals i run into and trusting my instinct
