Animal Guides

[Diana]

I have a great reference book called Animal Speak by Ted Andrews, with animal totem meanings. There is a chapter on the praying mantis, and the key phrase is: power of stillness.

I had a series of unusual animal greetings when I first moved onto my property, including a great-horned owl coming down my chimney. This prompted me to study the book.

The book says to pay attention especially when you get 3 visitations by the animal (or insect, or reptile).

I'm not surprised that a child would be aware of an animal guide; especially a child whose parents don't close them down to such things.
