ANIMAL SPIRIT by Patricia Telesco & Rowan Hall
Spells, Sorcery, & Symbols From The Wild
$13.99
Every creature in the animal realm has a special story to tell or a lesson to impart. Animal Spirit, a definitive primer in natural magick, draws our attention to this wisdom of the wild, giving us a better understanding of the world in which we live and helping us get in touch with the animal spirit that exists within each one of us. We learn how to apply this knowledge to our present practices or use it to create an actual Path unto itself.
Telesco and Rowan manage to "marry" science with spirituality and reveal the animal kingdom in all its facets -- focusing on habitats, real behaviors, and common traits -- to help us round out our knowledge and our methods. If one calls on the Otter's power to encourage a playful spirit, it helps to know that brother Otter can also be nippy, which could very well affect the charm, spell, or calling in unpredictable and maybe unpleasant ways.
Additionally, Animal Spirit explores:
 |
The role of animals as harbingers and signs of things to come. |
|
Animals in history and folklore. |
|
Spells and charms using animal symbolism. |
|
Spells and charms to protect our animal companions. |

|
Animal spirit guides and how to recognize them. |
|
The sacred animals of gods and goddesses around the world. |
