TOTEMS When a shaman chooses a totem, (s)he is choosing which part of nature to emulate. The shaman's connectivity to the natural world depends on the totem and the animal it represents. Since the totem is the source of the shaman's power, it affects all aspects of the shaman's life. The extent to which this influence is manifested is described in the specific totem listings. ^WSee Also: BEAR, CAT, COYOTE, DOG, EAGLE, GATOR, LION, OWL, RACCOON, RAT, RAVEN, SHARK, SNAKE, WOLF^n
