When I went to shamanic school about a decade ago, we journeyed to meet our life totem animal. I thought for sure I would get a cougar. Instead, this sweet little beaver showed up. I couldn't even be disappointed. She was so sweet, hardworking and dedicated.
Beavers are actually so aligned with my calling. They dam the river and create entirely new ecosystems. The fish come to spawn. The deer to drink. A new community where there once was none. Building their space between water and land, weaving the two until they are one.
One of my students/clients offered to create this for me and I told her to do it when the inspiration hit. I had no timeline other than that. A couple moons passed and then she started. Which magically happened to be during the Beaver Moon.
If any of you are interested in having one of these commissioned, I will post her website in the comments.
This is my review ♥️
I commissioned this piece from Vanessa as a way to bring my totem animal to life. Her intuitive abilities to not only come up with the perfect affirmation for my life path but also absolutely nail the visuals has my eyes drinking and heart overflowing. She brought the spirit of my animal to life for all to see. I absolutely cannot wait to hang it on my wall. I am so grateful for this unique opportunity and will treasure this piece for the rest of my life!
