Okay, I am in no way new to totem animals, I've had several in my life. From having Wolf as a Companion/Guardian totem as a child before I knew just what it was, to Bear when I needed some courage, and finally Vulture when I needed to do some life cleaning.
But lately I am at a loss. I need the guidance of a totem/Spirit Guide, but neither Vulture nor Bear, who were with me at the same time for a while, seem to be near me any more. Their time in my life may be over. I am open to a new totem, I have opened my mind and heart, I have meditated, and tried to call dreams... But I simply haven't had any breakthrough! Lately, I've had only one instance that may be of some importance:
One night, late, I was driving home. Suddenly a white dog sprinted across the road! It had run up an alley before I got to where it had been. That wasn't so strange, except a mile or so up the road, an owl flew low across the road, right where I could see it!! They both seemed to be in a hurry, and were headed in the same direction, very pointedly. Do you perhaps have any translations or possible meanings for me? I can't make heads or tails of it!
[also maybe of note, that same morning my friend texted me a picture of an owl who had become disoriented in her yard after being spooked from her roost]
Also do you have any tips for me, for drawing my new totem/guide?
