Metaphysical wisdom, practicality, humor and an old souls insight make Snake Oil Radio worth listening to. Todays show: Animal totems. Have you ever had a bird fly into your home? Did you ever find yourself frustrated by a bee that only seemed interested in bothering you and no one else? Have you ever seen a hawk or eagle flying high above you and felt a sense of awe? Do you have an affinity for one type of animal that means something special to you? Are you uncomfortable with a specific type of animal and not even sure why they “bother” you as much as they do? Our practical, analytical minds can often come up with rationalizations for most of these and other similar questions, but our instinctive, intuitive self reminds us of something far deeper. Different types of animals will occasionally become guest visitors or major participants in our individual worlds, and these appearances are significant messages meant for us.
