Awwwwwesome shot, DM!

Technically, it's an Ermine, but that is indeed a type of ferret. It's a totem of mine.

Thanks, I took it while visiting my sister in NYC a while back. We were goofing off (runs in the family). I've been saving it for a firstie.

I didn't know a ferret (or ermine as it were) could be a totem. Is traditional for a specific tribe or am I completely off base here?

You're a bit off base. Totems don't have to be tribal (though I do have a hint of Cree in my blood, I don't claim to be a Native American) and are more often personal. They're animal manifestations that help you see the shape of your spirit and who you are and what your life is like, etc. I have many many personal totems, and they're all just aspects of me, I know, but it's nice to have a symbol for some of them, which I do. I find it helpful. And a personal totem can be anything. Anything at all. One of mine (act surprised now!) is a phoenix. I have sought out the totems for all my chakras and also for areas of my life. The Ermine is my love totem, which I think is fitting in a lot of ways. And it's cute!

I'd post pictures of all my totems, but that's not the kind of picture thread this is. And there are a lot of them. 'Twould flood.

That help I hope?

I'll try not to be to surprised at the phoenix. Yea it helps. I knew what a totem was but like too many people I here anything spiritual and automatically try to associate it with an organized religion and not a personal experience which is what many things spiritual are: personal. Maybe next picture thread you could post some more of your totems, if its not, you know, too personal.

Glad I could clarify Yeah, you'll find organized religion and I rarely cross paths. I mix and match to suit myself. Any really really organized, single-religion group would toss me out on my ass, which is fine with me, because I think it should be personal anyway.
Heh, I love when these threads just go in random directions!
Totem pictures? Sure, why not? I don't have that many little models of them, but I have found pics of all of them.

Some of my favorites:












Sorry if it's a flood; if anyone minds I can take it down.
