ANIMAL WISDOM, THE DEFINITIVE GUIDEBOOK TO THE MYTH, FOLKLORE AND MEDICINE POWER OF ANIMALS
The Archive Book Reviews.". Another one of those books that doesn't get nearly as much credit as it deserves, this is a superb animal totem dictionary. By far one of the best books on the topic of animal magic I've read. Palmer's writing style is excellent. . . overall this is a high-quality piece of work. It's a superior reference when researching totems, and a definite change of pace from the same old stuff."
"This helpful guidebook looks at power animals, spirit animals, totems and some of the deeper meanings that particular animals bring to our lives,
whether through dreams, unusual meetings or in a shamanic capacity.
The author explores 70 animals from the Northern Hemisphere in a variety of ways-from physical descriptions and biological characteristics to the varied cultural legends and stories told about each animal;
from traditional views of the animal's "medicine" and power to a more modern take on the gifts each animal presents.
This is yet another very handy reference, especially for those who work on deeper levels with animal guidance."
"This book is excellent if you want to find out every thing about one certain animal - its characteristics, traits, healing powers and the myths and legends which surround it. Well written. All in all a very interesting read."
