Dreambeasts - Wendy Trevennor - Bog

An in-depth look at man's relationship with animals over many thousand years. The shamanic and totem aspects are closely studied and the dream elements are shown to be important. From man's earliest need for food and shelter flow the complex and at times unknown deals and pacts that have been made.Everyone loves animals. They are fascinating, often magnificent, frightening or stunningly beautiful "other" beings who exhibit strangely human traits and can seem to understand us better than we do ourselves. Stories abound of their wisdom, compassion and understanding.
Enter the world of pagan spirituality, magic, shamanism and dreams, and animals take on a whole new significance. What does it mean when you dream of mice? When a snake crosses your path, when an owl flits past at dusk and turns to look at you in a meaningful way? Learn about the powers of these creatures and their images, for magic, for divination, for spiritual power, how the mere presence of an animal can reinforce your own magical work and spiritual life.
