Platypus Animal Totem



The Platypus
If a Platypus shows up it means:
This is a time of heightened sensitivity, so pay close attention to the cues that your body gives you. Take time to discover the layers of meaning behind any significant encounters. Rather than trying to adapt to other’s demands or their pace, stay in tune to your own internal rhythms and move with those accordingly. The situation before you requires you to have absolute faith in the process and to go with the flow, neither resisting or being passive and non-responsive. Your clairvoyance is increasing and you’ll find that you more readily trust your inner-vision. Include food in your diet that is grown underground such as carrots or potatoes.

Where did the name "Old Scratch" originate?

Old Scratch
n. Chiefly Southern U.S.
The Devil; Satan.

[Probably alteration of scrat, from Middle English, hermaphrodite goblin, from Old Norse skrattewizard, goblin.]
Regional Note: Old Scratch, like Old Nick, is a nickname for the devil. In the last century it was widely used in the eastern United States, especially in New England, as is evident from the Devil's name for himself in the Stephen Vincent BenĂ©t short story "The Devil and Daniel Webster." Now the term has been regionalized to the South. Old Scratch is attested in the Oxford English Dictionary from the 18th century onward in Great Britain as a colloquialism: "He'd have pitched me to Old Scratch" (Anthony Trollope, 1858). The source of the name is probably the Old Norse word skratte, meaning "a wizard, goblin, monster, or devil."

Lark Totem

The Lark
If a Lark shows up, it means:
You are entering a cycle where you’ll be completely happy and free of worry. Rather than looking to others, go inside to find the answers you are seeking. Whatever you are doing, try singing softly, or whistling as you do. The words you use and how you use them will take on greater power, so be aware of whether you’re speaking lovingly or harshly, as your words will have greater impact either way. Find your own power song by sitting in nature, and ask your helping spirit to give you a song, then let the melody and the words come to you as you sing them

Rabbit Totem

RABBIT


If a Rabbit shows up, it means:

This is a very creative time for you, so it’s important to quickly take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way unexpectedly. Be extra vigilant for the next couple of days, and if anything threatening shows up, leave as quickly as possible. Try a vegetarian diet for the next few days and pay attention to how you feel. Rather than steady, step-by-step progress, you’ll see it happen in leaps and bounds. You’re going to find yourself going through a period of quiet and stillness followed by a burst of intense activity. Express your love freely and readily to those you are closest
