totem animals

The Native American Tribes of North America are among the most famous cultures which ascribe meaning and symbolism to the animals that surround them.
 
Their spirituality being very grounded in a holisitc belief of all living things being interconnected, all small parts of something greater than their individual selves, also involves a belief in the symbolism of animals, both as omens in the world around them, and reflections of their own selves, 'as within so without'.

Spiritual shamans would go on shamanic quests, which would lead them to meet animal guides, each individual to them. These guides bring with them aspects of spiritual laws, lessons and purposes that the shaman would then incorporate into their own lives from their Spirit Quests.
