12 foot Spirit animal totem.
Totem Pole Inspiration.
In elementary school I loved learning about Indigenous people - I was obsessed with Totem poles as are many Canadians to this day! Hand carved on a grand scale - months of work if not a life time… a lifetime of experiences during the gift of the journey - enabling these masters to carve Totem Poles from our great Canadian treasures - PINE TREES!
We have some tall Pine on the property that tower and sway gently some days - mesmerizing me for hours. These are the trees many totems were caved from If we have to cut one down - it’s on my to do list, lol. Imagining Totem poles… I’ve already sketched the next. Totem poles are sacred, I am grateful for Canada's Indigenous people for their contribution to our country then & NOW. .
I researched online for Animal Spirit representation and Totem poles animal meaning, Indigenous belief, traditions and art - I think back now to how little was actually taught about indigenous people of Canada and the loss of that knowledge, was truly a loss to our entire Canadian culture. NOW - learning how Indigenous have been treated & continue to be treated - with more than most in incarceration, living in poor communities, struggling with addiction, racism, government neglect, police abuse & even hospital neglect - it is absolutely not a part of Canada, I am proud of.
There’s no time like the present to learn about others, to celebrate their gifts so we can all continue the journey together wiser & stronger… as we all walk each other home. All these Totem creatures mean something, according to charts, my spirit animal is a wolf - my next Totem will be a wolf praying while painting, I intentionally ask God to continue to show me LOVE which keeps me in Awe - creating for the creator… much like the indigenous artists before and after me.
***
We highly recommend Amend on Netflix. WOW. Grateful for the education and sad for the realization… there are humans who judge for many things still. I must continually remind myself people who sit around and INTENTIONALLY think nasty thoughts & acts are miserable, fearful & faithless.
RISE Above, your faith in God & yourself WILL INDEED change the world for the better.
Leave it to God, shit will get done! lol I think Ill paint that for my desk today.
Norm & I were shocked at what we learned, well… I was until they got to the part about women, it is by far one of the most inspiring & educational shows I’ve watched, ever.
