Introduction

[totemoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Hello all,



My name is Pia, I live in Western Australia and I'm 24. I have been practicing indigenous shamanism with dedication for 6-8 years.

I'm writing here under my Totemoftheweek username, but I have also joined as moonvoice (my more 'general' shamanic/personal/ranty journal) and am around other pagan forums and shamanic forums under the name Ravenari.

I practice indigenous forms of shamanism, and my practice focuses on totemism and animism. My totem and family totem is Raven, and my primary spirit-helper is Ehrembi, a four-winged raven with a forked tongue. The bird I love the most is not actually Raven, but Heron, whom I have a loose spiritual connection to.

You can find an introduction to my spirituality and practice here:

I do stylised animal artwork, or shamanic artwork, and the bulk of that can be found here:

My Totem of the Week username is based on a project where I attempt to get a file out (about 4-6 pages in word) on a specific animal spirit each week. The interpretations are personal, and I am open to requests and criticisms or praise etc. So far there are about 18 files, including information on some of the lesser known Australian spirit animals like Bandicoot.

I understand now, you meant the link to Wikipedia?

You can find many more personal and interesting writings on personal webpages, which is why I was refering to just before: http://akhila.feralscribes.org/links.php (this is the links page of my own website, and my own essays are up on this site as well).
