Animal Speak

The Animal Guide Book to Accompany Your Meditation

During my mediations I frequently meet animals, what do they mean? What do they represent?
In my search for answers I came across this wonderful book by Ted Andrews. He vividly describes their attributes and then goes onto explain in tremendous detail what they represent if you have seen them in meditation or, if indeed, they have shown up in your life.
The book is written in four parts, part one describes and explains symbols in the natural world. Part two concentrates on birds and the five chapters deal with a lot of different aspects i.e. a dictionary of bird totems; feather magic. Part three, understanding animal medicine has a dictionary of animal totems and also detailed explanations of how to work with animal totems. The final part of the book, part four, is a magical journey with insects and reptiles; five chapters cover everything from representation to totems.
This books explains and describes many different aspects of the natural world for instance there is a wonderful description of ‘Cleansing the Aura with Feathers’; a very detailed list of the ‘Symbolic Quality of Trees’ and another one showing the ‘Symbolic Quality of Flowers’.
This book is a joy to read; it’s beautifully illustrated with drawings and photographs and is a very comprehensive book for those of us looking for the attributes of the natural world when it appears in our lives, either through meditation or the natural world that surrounds us.

This is the best animal guide book on the market. It is so refreshing to find a book that can be used both as a reference and that compels you to want to expand your understanding about the Shamanic Animal path. From this book you will learn how to identify your animal totem from your meditation experiences, understand what lessons and strengths it symbolises and learn to invoke its energy and use it for personal growth and inner discovery.

With over 400,000 copies sold, it is a best seller because of its depth of knowledge. The book seeks to give a good appreciation of not only the animals attributes and meanings. The book also directs you towards furthering your understanding of their prey and associations, seeking to provide a good working understanding of how to work with your animals with some excellent, easy to follow exercises.
Animal-Speak is both well indexed and illustrated. It is easy to read and understand. With 100 different animals, birds, insects and reptiles covered it creates a really comprehensive reference book for those who wish to develop their spiritual connection to the world and mystery of animal guides.
