animal totem
Tribal guardian creature
An animal totem is a creature believed to embody spiritual significance for a person, family, or group—serving as a guardian, ancestor, or symbolic representation of shared traits.
The concept derives from Indigenous traditions but has been widely adopted in New Age spirituality, where people identify personal totems based on qualities they admire or feel connected to: Her animal totem is the owl, representing wisdom.
