Listen carefully to his voice. The Raven is an Air animal. Air is light and free, lacking the gravity of the earth. Masculine in its fundamental nature, although it is present in both women and men, it brings cleansing and clarity. Along with his restorative role in the universe, the Raven can take on the part of trickster, who creates problems for Earth’s inhabitants. This double role may seem a paradox, but on the level of soul and spirit, the rational thinking and logic of our minds are not enough to understand the purpose and mystery of human existence.

Her long body appears to move unbidden, while she holds her neck with the utmost dignity. The Swan is a Water animal. In its essence, water is flexible, fluid and changing. When encountering obstacles, the water of a river uses its flexibility to move around them; but eventually water will overcome just about anything. By not resisting or judging what life brings us in the form of challenges, but rather seeing them as opportunities to learn and grow, we can align ourselves and be in harmony with reality as it presents itself. These are lessons carried in the feminine qualities of the Swan. Find out more about the Swan and other Water spirit animals - check out Chris Lüttichau's Spirit Animal Guides. Turtle The shell of the Turtle is like an aura, the energy shield universally perceived by shamans, which we always carry with us. The Turtle is both an Air and an Earth animal - we can see the solidity of the earth element in its protective shell, encasing its body almost entirely, yet the Turtle lives in the soft and yielding element of water. The Turtle shows us the wisdom of moving slowly, which we can do when we are centered, when the mind slows down to allow internal stillness and introspective consciousness.
