Real quick--I was working on writing the Bioregional Totemism chapter of Neopagan Totemism, and I realized that in working with totems, totemism, and totemists over the past 15 years, there's a weird trend--not only do many people not ever see the physical counterparts of the animal totems they work with, but they often don't even live in the same geographic area. (Wheee, globalization!)

So, indulge me with a few quick answers. These will NOT be in the book (beyond maybe "I asked this to corroborate my previous experiences); I'm just curious for curiosity's sake.

--What totem(s) do you work with? Not just "life" or primary totems, but those that may drop in for a time.

--Where do you live? (You don't have to be any more specific than you're comfortable.)

--Where are the physical counterparts of your totem(s) found?

I STARTED TEN HOURS AGO WITH A LITTLE OVER 800 WORDS ON THE BIOREGIONAL TOTEMISM CHAPTER. I NOW JUST PASSED 7,600 WORDS WITH AT LEAST THREE SECTIONS TO GO. THIS IS THE CHAPTER THAT NEVER ENDS. NO SLEEP UNTIL WHATEVER THE NONFICTION VERSION OF A DENOUEMENT OCCURS. DOOM. PLEASE SEND COOKIES. CAPS LOCK IS LIFE.
