In the ancient land of China, in the magical porcelain village of Jingdezhen, these totem animals emerged from the clay as if by themselves. These modern-day totem animals came to life during my artist residency in 2010. Each creature is hand-dipped in celadon glaze - the unique colour of Chinese empires, and made from exquisite white porcelain which allows light and energy to travel through it to the core of the totem
From the exotic Far East to the Wild West, incorporating animal totems into our lives has been a sacred practice for many people. Take one home and allow it to offer you its wisdom and guide your life in profound ways. By holding the totem animal in your hand and focusing your energy into its centre, you will charge the object’s power. Simply put it back on your window sill and let it do its work for you.
Read on to see all 16 animals that I made in China. $65 each. Limited edition.
The brilliant elephant is massive, regal and strong. It has few enemies as other animals are no match for its crushing strength or attitude. But the elephant is no brute. Its brain is large and well-developed and it has a keen intellect. It is a master at removing whatever obstacles and barriers are in its way.
The elephant totem’s energy is for when we have a mental journey ahead of us that seems insurmountable. Elephant energy will help unblock us physically and emotionally to help us use our inner fortitude to push through any situation. Elephants will also aid us when we require confidence in our lives or patience to keep at a problem. Be it at school, job or project - call on the mighty power of the elephant.
Fox Totem
The Master Trickster
The clever fox is a keen observer, cunning planner and stealthy executioner. The ingenious fox often plays dead for long periods, lying in wait for tasty morsels to wander into its trap. Foxes have mastered the craft of invisibility - through gentleness, swiftness and camouflage. It knows how to play life’s games.
The fox totem’s energy tells us that there are times when it is wiser to hide our abilities and ambitions rather than let others know our plans. Foxes also remind us when and where to keep our mouth shut. Let the power of the fox teach you when to stand out and when to be invisible to maximize your life’s potential.
Koala Totem
The Balanced Mystic
The huggable koala lives a meditative life way up high where it views the world. It eats a simple diet of eucalyptus leaves and spends a lot of time snoozing and daydreaming. The koala is not only adorable; it is nimble, sturdy and balanced in the tree tops.
The koala totem’s energy helps us calm down and be at peace. Its energy brings us the power to stay in the treetops and avoid whatever chaos goes on below. Koala energy lifts us out of everyday concerns and reminds us to live by our higher beliefs, immersing ourselves in spirit as we go about our lives. When you need to forget about petty things, call on the power of the koala to help you rise above.
Monkey Totem
The Dynamic Savant
The athletic monkey is the master of vitality and movement as it seems to defy gravity with grace, rhythm and ease, effortlessly swinging from tree to tree. Monkeys have big brains, an abundance of energy, and an unparalleled intellect in the animal kingdom.
Monkey energy can be called upon when we need to understand a situation or move through a damaging environment rapidly. When a confusing or complex situation arises, call on the power of the monkey to swing you out of confusion into a fresh new outlook.
