CRYSTAL SELF: THE ANIMALS
12 Weeks
11 Totem Animals
7 Revealed through Ritual
4 Intuitively Discovered
1 Crystal Map
The Crystal Self Odyssey is a genuine miracle of creative synthesis. Never in a million years could I have seen how all these systems would combine in order to facilitate a literal adventure we could live through in real time. Numerology, Animal Totems, the Tarot, Archetypes, the Native American Medicine Wheel, Mineral Allies, the Hero’s Journey…
Somehow all of this adds up. Somehow, each of these apparently disparate systems dovetails seamlessly into each of the others: delivering a totally unprecedented opportunity to grow, to rediscover what is best-and-brightest within us, to activate a larger sense of truth.
But Crystal Self does more than this, in fact. It also introduces us to Teachers + Companions - Lifetime Allies - in the form of Archetypes + Animals + Stones. In particular, I find myself excited to discuss the Animals we will encounter in this way.
A Totem Animal (or Spirit Animal) is a practical companion + a guide. Each of our primary animal relationships supports + represents part of ourselves. They teach us how to move + how to be. They remind us of our Natural Expression.
The Crystal Self invites you to encounter a total of 11 different animals in the course of our 12 weeks together. 7 of these will be revealed through ritual; the other 4 will show themselves to you when it is time.
Each of these Animals provides an opportunity to learn about yourself. Each of these animals can be embodied + explored in daily life. Each of these Animals is a Teacher + a Friend.
PERSONAL EXAMPLE
One of my Personal Totem Animals is Black Panther (pictured here), a companion with whom I have been walking now for many years. He represents, instructs, and guards my Masculine Potential + Expression.
Since meeting my Black Panther, I have learned to move like him in life: fluid + unhurried, certain as the gravity of night. I have dressed myself to match his twilight way.
I have done the same with every one of my 11 animals (and more). You will learn to do this, too - methodically + playfully encountering one new animal per week.
Animals are perhaps my favorite part of our entire Journey. Meeting them like this will change your life.
