Every person lives in several worlds at the same time - this is what magicians and esotericists think. All of them are interconnected and affect the development of the individual, as well as events in her life. However, an ordinary person sees only what surrounds him. Other ghostly worlds are hidden from him, but many feel them and even ask for help in difficult situations. Even our ancestors recognized the power of totem animals. They were worshiped and cherished, and at certain moments they made requests. Surprisingly, totems existed among almost all peoples of the world, and for some, faith in their power is still alive. This is what gives mystics the opportunity to assume that our ancestors were not stupid at all. It is likely that they knew about the structure of the universe much more than we - the children of digital technology and the consumer society. Today we will talk about the Raven totem, which is considered one of the most mysterious.
Totem animal: essenceand features
It's not uncommon for a novice magician to be asked to awaken a Raven totem or some other specific animal in him. Such requests can only cause a grin in an experienced mystic, because it is impossible to awaken that which itself chooses its owner.
Few people understand that each of us already has his own totem. You may not know him and not contact him, but he will always be present in our lives. So what is this - a totem? In magic and mystical teachings, this word means a wild animal, which is a talisman of a person. It accompanies a person from birth and influences his destiny. Many perceive the totem as a source of power and are not so wrong in this. After all, your amulet is able to protect, help, and even endow with special abilities. Of course, for the latter, you need to learn how to interact with him.
It is interesting that the totem is very closely connected with a person and reflects the facets of his personality. He can not only protect, but also instruct. At the same time, the lessons that a person will go through will not be easy. The totem never gives simple ways, but this is its main duty - to allow a person to open up and gain new knowledge, including knowing himself.
A little about totems
Not everyone succeeds in immediately figuring out who exactly is your totem - Raven, Elk, Squirrel or, for example, Lynx. Today, the skills to work with this power are largely lost, and its acquisition is a complex and even painstaking work. Therefore, if you have just started to get acquainted with this topic, then you need to remember a few important nuances.
First of all, understand that most often wild animals act as a totem. Their character traits are always very pronounced, and therefore it is not difficult for a person to decide in which direction to move in his work of self-knowledge.
You can't expect someone from the outside to tell you in detail how to awaken the Raven Totem or any other. The connection between man and mystical animal is very thin and fragile, so no one should be third here. Magicians and practitioners can only offer a few options for finding their totem and discovering inner strength, but they should not interfere in the process. And even more so, it is impossible to assign a spirit animal to you.
Each of us has one main totem given from birth. In addition to him, there are always several secondary ones around a person. You can also turn to them for help in order to draw strength in a difficult moment. After all, sometimes the situation is such that only a secondary totem can help you.
Since it is the totem that chooses us, then he is free to leave the person for a while. Often this happens due to damage, some other magical effect, a serious illness, or for other reasons. Sometimes the departure of an animal can cause your disrespect, it is detrimental to the connection between the totem and the person.
A few words about the relationship between the totem animal and the human essence
Whatever your totem turns out to be - Crow or, for example, Tiger, you needmake contact with him. This work is extremely difficult and requires a great effort of spiritual forces. However, without doing so, you will not be able to receive help from your spirit animal.
If you develop your relationship, then every time the appeal is easier, and help comes faster. You will immediately notice how much easier life becomes when you can draw strength through communication with your amulet.
Many esotericists believe that the totem exists in order to help a person open up. Thanks to him, a person suddenly begins to understand the laws of the universe, balance in the universe and realizes his own potential. And this is the main life mission of any person.
The meaning of the Raven totem among the Slavs
Our ancestors revered many animals and believed that they are the patrons of childbirth. Among the Slavs, information about the totem was passed from the elders to the younger, and everyone clearly knew which animal to turn to if trouble came. Usually the totems of our ancestors were the Wolf, the Bear and the Fox. But there was a special attitude towards Raven - both respectful and wary. They tried to stay away from this magical bird, as well as from the people whom it patronized.
Slavs have always endowed the Raven totem with mystical characteristics. The bird was a harbinger of death, trouble or battle. The raven, always on the lookout for carrion, has the mystical ability to sense beforehand blood that hasn't even spilled yet.
However, this particular bird, according to the Slavs, had close ties with the gods of Fire. There were several of them in mythology, and most of them echoed the deities of the Scythian tribes. It was from them that Tabiti, the goddess of the hearth, came to the Slavs. Her cult was not very developed and disappeared completely from time to time. Very little is known about him, but historians have managed to find out that the raven was considered a sacred creature by Tabiti. Therefore, the bird was credited with great strength and the ability to control souls.
Ways to recognize your spirit animal
If you want to draw power from your totem, then first of all you need to determine it. There are several methods for this, the most accessible we will present in this section.
The easiest way is to ask a question that interests you before going to bed. If the answer does not come immediately, then repeat it as often as possible. In this case, you need to carefully look at the surrounding signs. For example, sometimes a totem can be identified by what animals love you. Any magician will say that a person is always mistaken for his own by those animals whose representative is his totem. For example, you may be surrounded by cats everywhere. They will meet on the way, come to the house and get caught on posters, in books and online videos.
You can calculate the totem animal and the birthday. For the Raven totem, the date is the period of birth between the tenth of June and the ninth of July. If you were born at this time, then the wise bird is your patron. And it is she who should be contacted in case of problems in life.

Usually such people tend to be lonely. It is easier for them to think in a calm environment away from noisy companies. They never shout, and even when they are angry, they speak clearly and quietly. The Raven Totem obliges to communicate delicately and face to face. It is difficult for such people to correspond or chat for hours on the phone.

The totem begins to influence a person immediately and quickly gives him certain qualities. For those who are under the auspices of the Raven, this is high efficiency, the ability to anticipate danger, punctuality and tact.

The totems of the Raven and the Wolf get along well with each other. The meaning of the latter is also closely intertwined with magic. Sorcerers and alchemists often walk under the Wolf totem; since ancient times, this animal has been a companion of the ancient gods on the battlefield. However, like Raven.
