Very
soon I will be releasing information about the Germanic-Folk beliefs on MY
family
line.
The animals I am about to introduce could be thought of as "totem"
animals, but they
are
of a Germanic veiw point, the express as a Germanic function of occultism and
folk
spirit.
Native Americans have their own tradtions and their own meanings for their
animals
spirits,
sometimes they over-lap...sometime sthey do not and I don't ever try to use
their
believes
to justify that of my family's spirtial lore.
I
will detail 9 of the 11 that are in my family. The Creation story in my
family's line as a
"hidden"
story behind it and the actions of the last two animal spirits are revealed but
in
the
first story they are kept hidden for very profund reasons discovered in the
second
story.
Each
of these animals also repersent a Germanic God or Goddesses.
