A totem is a sacred/magical object and for many of us there is a certain animal that we are inexplicably drawn to. This stag totem is made by hand in stoneware clay, carved with protection sigils that have been inspired by an obsession with Slavic and Icelandic traditional magical protection designs. It has been fired twice and glazed with a Japanese rusty-coloured shino.
We’re all drawn to different animals and the concept of spirit animals resonates strongly with many of us. In shamanic belief systems, spirit animals—often called power animals or animal guides—are an example of the living manifestations of animism.
The stag represents a balance of strength with gentle awareness, confidence without conceit and fertility and renewal. He is seen as a messenger that serves as a conduit between the seen and unseen worlds—a guardian of the liminal. Often those who are drawn to them as guides will have a fascination with old gods such as Cernunnos.
