Hey Baby. What’s your totem?
For a number of my friends and acquaintances, that would be the perfect pick up line. Being of Native American descent, I’ve already found my spirit animal. Tooling around on the interwebs, I also found this fun on-line quiz. I was a bit skeptical, but the quiz did come up with the correct spirit animal. Oh me of little faith. Jeri Smith-Ready posted the quiz on her blog to draw attention to her novels, but the quiz is cool too. Her novels might be fab also — I confess, I haven’t read them.
Speaking of faith, a spirit animal can be a mighty fine companion — especially when times are tough. It’s like having an imaginary friend regardless of your age. I highly recommend it.
So, if you’re up for a wee, non-peyote induced spirit quest, try this — take the quiz and find your animal. Then go to Linn’s Domain and page down to the bottom. Scoot past where she’s selling tarot readings and the like — unless you’re interested, then knock yourself out. Towards the bottom of the page are links to all kinds of spirit animals. Find yourself and click. I really like the way they’re presented here. Who knows, you might find something to think about. At the very least, it’s an enjoyable distraction.
So baby, what’s your totem?
Rawr,

Well, I tried that quiz and it only got three right and screwed up the order.... so, I am not really buying into it.. BUT it was fun and thanks for posting it!

Yo I run with the pack!!!!!
You are a Wolf! (your score: 31)
Characters: Marek, Alanka, Kerza, and Kara in the Aspect of Crow trilogy and "Storm Reaper"; Lance in "The Wild's Call"
Powers: Stealth, hunting ability, enhanced senses of smell and hearing, as well as strength and stamina
"Family comes first" could be a Wolf's motto. You form deep connections with close friends and family members, and they know you'd do anything to protect them. You're loyal, devoted, and passionate. Your worst fear is being alone, but be careful not to drown your loved ones in too much emotion.
Best matches: Swans, Otters, Crows
Watch out for: Spiders, Owls, Foxes

Ok...I'll try to combine mine into one word too. "Owlverine"?...no...I got it....since owls make the sound 'Hoo'...my totem is a Hooverine.

My closest Behind Wolverine was Owl but it was a whole 7 points back, so I guess I am destined to be a Wolverine...Really hard to think of a way to mix Wolverine and Owl any differently.....

I'm a swan! Now that was not what I was expecting, but if it means I'm not the ugly duckling I always thought I was, hey who am I to argue?!
