People with a Hyena totem have the ability to discern, to be clearer on what to do, whom to trust, what to believe, etc. They trust “what smells right” and what doesn’t. Communication is very important to Hyena people but they need to be careful with their words. Loving words will be felt more, but on the flip side, hurting words will cut deeper. Hyena people work well in a group; tasks are much easier when there are many hands doing the work. A group also provides safety and protection. Hyena people tend to have a good sense of humour and do not take themselves too seriously. The hyena as a totem is a symbol of integration between aspects of male and female. Hyena medicine teaches us balance, realizing our own powers, and being happy with what we are given; not wanting for what we do not have.Thursday, 1 July 2010
