Welcome to the Owl, Panda, Pig and Rabbit Totems




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.


Owl Totem


The Sacred Postman

The owl is the silent and swift hunter of the night. It is a solitary animal that has keen eyesight and exceptional hearing. It is the link between the dark unseen world and the world of light. Owls see in the dark. They are the deliverer of secrets and omens and reveal to us the things that we hadn’t seen. 
The owl totem’s energy reminds us to look into the darkness and get in touch with our psychic abilities. Owl energy tells us to trust our intuition and inner knowing and to see the truth beyond appearances. If you need help from the spirit world, call on the power of the owl to deliver the messages to you that you need.


Panda Totem
The Playful Harmoniser

The calm panda embodies Eastern philosophy with it’s black and white coat, like the yin and yang. The panda is a mild mannered creature and moves at a leisurely pace on the ground looking for bamboo shoots. It loves to playfully roll around for fun, and it climbs trees to sleep and contemplate the landscape.
The panda totem’s energy reminds us that both positive and negative energy exist in the world together and in harmony. There are lessons to be learnt from good and bad scenarios and both can be valuable life lessons. Panda energy is about respecting the cycles of life but avoiding getting attached to the ups. If drama prevails in your life, call upon the power of the panda to help you feel calm.


Pig Totem
The Profit Manifester

The lovable pig is an intelligent and resourceful animal that has a huge appetite for “more”. It is always on the lookout for food, sticking its nose into the ground and digging around for roots, tubers and truffles. Despite its reputation the pig is very organized, clean and is master of its domain.
The pig totem’s energy helps us seek out all of the hidden “truffles” in life, to give us an advantage in our ventures. Pig energy teaches us to utilize all of the mental, physical and emotional resources we have to benefit our life. A high energy and enterprising life is said to be the key to bring us wealth, success and power



Rabbit Totem
The Energized Magician

The crafty rabbit is an artful creature that lives its life with an  abundance of natural energy and the skill to make things happen fast - as if by magic! Rabbits are lightning-quick thinkers and they rely on their intuition to do all tasks extremely accurately and often in such creative ways.
The rabbit totem’s energy helps us tap in to our internal spring of raw energy. When you have a lot on your plate and time is slipping away, the rabbit will help invigorate your life and get tasks completed. The rabbit reminds us that with focus and many small steps we can move mountains.
