Totems

Okay, let’s dive into something that’s been on my mind a lot lately – the polar bear, not just as this amazing animal, but what it represents. I’ve been doing some digging and soul-searching, and I gotta share this journey about the polar bear totem meaning. It all started a few months back. I was feeling a bit lost, you know? Like I was wandering through a snowstorm without a compass. That’s when I stumbled upon this documentary about polar bears. Watching them navigate those harsh, icy landscapes, it hit…

Alright, so, I got into this whole “polar bear totem animal” thing, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride. I started out just being curious, you know? I’d always felt this weird connection to polar bears, thought they were cool and all. I dove into it headfirst. Read a bunch of stuff online. Some folks say the polar bear is all about strength and being tough, which, yeah, makes sense. They survive in some of the harshest places on Earth. But there’s more to it than just…

Okay, so, today I wanna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: the pelican as an animal totem. I know, sounds a bit out there, but bear with me. I’ve been diving deep into this whole spirit animal thing, and the pelican has really stood out to me. It all started a few weeks ago. I was feeling kinda lost, you know? Like I was drifting without a purpose. So, I started looking into ways to reconnect with myself and find some direction. That’s when I stumbled upon…

Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this plant, the ‘Totem Pole’ kind, and I figured I’d share what I’ve been up to. It’s a pretty cool-looking thing, but getting it to grow more of itself, well, that’s been a bit of a journey. First off, I started by getting a cutting from the main plant. I just grabbed a knife—nothing fancy—and sliced off a piece. They say you’re supposed to do this when it’s not too hot or too cold outside. I waited for a few days until the…

Okay, so, I got this idea in my head to make a totem pole, right? And not just any totem pole, but one with an owl on top. It started one afternoon when I was chilling in my backyard. I looked up and saw an owl perched on a tree. It was super cool and got me thinking. I remembered reading somewhere that owls are symbols of wisdom and intuition. I also found out that in some cultures, they think owls are like guardians or something. Anyway, I thought, “Why…

I gotta tell you about this thing I did the other day, this whole “otter totem” deal. So, I’ve been feeling kind of lost lately, like I’m just wandering around without any real direction. Then I stumbled upon this concept of an “otter totem,” and it really got me thinking. First off, I started digging into what this otter thing is all about. Turns out, these little guys are all about joy, playfulness, and going with the flow. They’re like the ultimate symbol of embracing your feminine energy and finding…

Okay, guys, so I’ve been messing around with this whole orca whale totem thing, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a ride. I started off just reading about it online, you know, the usual stuff about orcas being all about family, harmony, and protection. It sounded pretty cool, so I figured, why not try to bring some of that into my life? First thing I did was I started to dig deeper into what these beautiful creatures represent. I learned that they’re super tight-knit with their pods, like,…

Okay, so today I wanna talk about my trip to Nara, specifically my stay at this place called the Nara Totem Lodge. First off, let me tell you, spending a night in Nara is totally worth it. The city is super chill, almost like a ghost town in the late evening and early morning. It’s a nice change of pace, you know? I started my journey by figuring out how long I wanted to be in Nara. A lot of folks just do day trips, which is cool, but I…

Okay, so I got this idea the other day while I was sawing up some fallen poplar limbs into rough shapes for carving. I was making these little totem poles, and I stumbled upon a neat way to package them. It’s pretty simple, really. First off, I cut out a section of the limb, you know, just a regular chunk of wood. I made sure it’s a bit longer than the totem pole itself, so there’s some wiggle room. Then, I sliced that chunk in half, straight down the middle….

Okay, so I finally got around to checking out that giant totem pole in McKinleyville. You know, the one they say is the world’s tallest? Yeah, that one. It’s been on my list for a while now. I’m not sure why I decided to make a record for it, but I’m glad I did. I woke up early this morning and drove over there. First off, let me tell you, finding the place was a bit of a mission. It’s tucked away behind some stores. I drove around for a…
