Magic energy wheel of North American Indians
On the tongue north American Indians"totem" means "sign, coat of arms" or name of an animal that is the protector of the clan. The Indians believed that there was a supernatural kinship, an indestructible bond, between certain groups of people and totems. According to the time of birth, all people were divided into 4 clans, corresponding to the elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. But depending on the decade in which you were born, you receive additional protection from your personal totem. To feel a greater connection with him, it is recommended to introduce some element into your clothing that is associated with your animal. But under no circumstances should this item be made from a killed totem, this will bring revenge on you. But, for example, a feather dropped by a falcon is quite acceptable. Although it is best to let it be a figurine carved from stone or plaster.
Element EARTH – TURTLE Clan

The turtle who slowly but surely moved forward won the competition, and not the fussy rabbit who wasted his strength on trifles. The turtle expresses the wisdom of a state in which solid ground is felt under one's feet. It reminds us of the need to achieve a strong and secure position in a reliable environment.

The frog easily gets along with its surroundings - this is how water takes the shape of the vessel in which it is placed. The frog is able to live in two worlds - the water and the earth.

The tribes that chose the butterfly as a totem for the element of Air not only paid tribute to its wonderful gift and great ability to transform.

It served as a symbol of thunder and lightning, selflessness and understanding. The falcon personifies the radiant energy of fire, its swift rush towards the chosen victim is like a sudden flash of insight, and its powerful powers are akin to the frantic energy of fire. At times he was compared to the mythical Phoenix, a bird capable of being reborn from the ashes. This comparison pointed to the ability of fire to purify and transform, to decompose matter into its component substances and to supply building blocks for the construction of new forms of the universe. Falcon people are often guided by intuition and are easy-going. They quickly light up and get involved in actions impulsively, under the influence of a momentary impulse. They love life passionately.

Since ancient times, North American Indians learned to measure the year in lunar months. One lunar month is approximately 29-30 days. Therefore, the Indians came to an understanding of months similar to the European one. But due to inaccurate matching lunar calendar there was a gradual shift in the solar lunar years in relation to solar ones. By comparing the months with the cycle of seasons, the Indians, like the Europeans, received 12 months.
At the same time, just like in the East, the Indians noticed the influence of the time of a person’s birth on his character, but they associated it not with the location of the stars, but with the position of the moon and the time of year. By the character of a person, the Indians determined which animal spirit lived in him. In this way, each person can be associated with his totem. This is how the totemic horoscope of the North American Indians appeared.
Each month is associated with a specific sign of the Indian zodiac. Different tribes used not only different names signs, but also different names of months. The names given in our horoscope are the most popular names used among Indian tribes. Moreover, each tribe separately could have had its own names.
With each sign the Indians associated their specific color and a patron stone. The zodiac sign according to the Indian horoscope is determined not just by the month, but by the lunar month and the phase of the moon in which the person was born. Thus, full horoscope North American Indians have as many as 96 zodiac signs. The calculation of the sign is also complicated by the shift that is carried out to align the lunar calendar with the solar one. Therefore, so that a visitor to our site can easily determine his zodiac sign according to the Indian horoscope, we have proposed a special form that, based on your date of birth, will itself determine, in accordance with the lunar cycle, the sign under which you were born.

Indian totem horoscope
There are many horoscopes, one of the oldest is the American Indian horoscope. They identified the seasons with animals. The year was divided into months and a totem was assigned. It was believed that the Sun was under the sign of one totem for about a month.
Ancient people worshiped the forces of nature and perceived them as the highest deities. The inhabitants of the American continent were no exception. The Indians worshiped totems - their ancestors in the form of one animal or another. Each tribe had its own wild patron. But besides this, there were personal totems. Indians North America They were calculated by the person’s date of birth. Thus, the continent created its own horoscope, largely correlated with famous signs zodiac
What is a totem?
The Indians observed the movement of stars and planets. They noticed that the Sun arrives in one constellation for about a month, and affects people born during this period. This is how the totem horoscope, or Indian zodiac signs, appeared. There are 12 of them in total, just like the Europeans. Each period is associated with the characteristics of a specific animal - a personal totem. Moreover, all 12 signs are divided into 4 groups according to clans. The latter are also associated with animals and endowed with corresponding characteristics.
Animals and birds for the Indians were not just neighbors, but a manifestation of a certain magical power. Therefore, one should treat one’s totem with care. It was believed that through the study of qualities, a person begins to understand his inner potential, strengths and weaknesses.

Seeing the manifestation of an animal within oneself, a person connects to its energy and can draw additional strength, receive help and tips.
Turtle Clan
Let's move on to detailed description totems according to the Indian horoscope. As already mentioned, they are distributed among four clans. They can be correlated with the elements of the traditional zodiac sign. It is believed that clans play more important role than a personal totem.
The first to be identified is the turtle clan. It can be attributed to the earth element. Hard shell: hardness, durability and indestructibility. The main needs of a turtle are strength, prosperity and safety. People belonging to this clan are practical, calm, methodical and are not inclined to waste their strength on trifles.

Personal totems
The turtle clan includes the following animals: beaver (date of birth 20.04 - 20.05), brown bear (date of birth 22.08 - 21.09) and white goose (date of birth 22.12 - 19.01). Now let's briefly look at Indian totems and their meaning:
- Beaver. People born under this sign are hardworking and patient. They move forward slowly but steadily, laying solid foundation to build something new. Representatives of the sign value comfort and material goods. They need to always be in balance. Just as beavers stop water, so a person must learn to fight negativity.
- Brown bear. Brave leaders are often born under this sign. They stand firmly on their own two feet and do not need the support of other people. Representatives of the totem are very practical, interested in internal structure things, manage things well, but have difficulty accepting changes in life.
- This totem, on the contrary, is always ready to explore the unknown. Representatives of the sign are beautiful, prudent, strive for perfection and get along well among other people, like geese in a flock. They are always on the move, happily take on new things, but do not always finish what they start. The sign’s task: learn to get things done and become more independent so as not to depend so much on others.
Frog Clan
This North American Indian totem is associated with the water element. The frog is malleable, like a liquid, and easily adapts to its environment. Representatives of the clan do not like sharp corners and try to be flexible. They can find mutual language with people of all other clans, to connect them thanks to its sensitivity and variability. They are characterized by deep emotions, which can sometimes lead to sudden changes in mood.

- Woodpecker. This totem is characterized by caring and responsiveness towards loved ones, as well as the desire to protect them. Sometimes it turns into unnecessary self-sacrifice. The woodpecker is a tenacious bird. People of this sign find it difficult to part with everything that is “theirs”; they cling to habits and old attachments. Failure to appreciate currently leads to constant anxiety and stress.
- Snake. This totem, on the contrary, can easily throw off the old skin and make decisive changes. Struggle takes such people to new heights. They are very strong, recover quickly, but at the same time they are characterized by sudden changes in mood.
- Wolf. This sign is characterized by sensitivity and well-developed intuition. Its representatives have a “gut” feeling for people, love creative enterprises, hate socially imposed demands, and strive for free self-expression. They need to become more practical and listen to their minds in order to cope with emotional instability and free themselves from restrictions.
Butterfly Clan
North American Indians can be correlated with the air element. Before becoming a butterfly, an insect goes through a series of metamorphoses. Likewise, clan representatives are capable of transformation. Among them there are many innovators and sorcerers. These people are spontaneous, always on the move, love everything new and hate “forced landings.”
Butterflies need freedom and communication. They are very energetic, lively and illuminate everything around with their beauty. To restore strength, they are recommended to walk outdoors more often.
Personal butterfly totems
The butterfly clan includes: deer (date of birth 21.05 - 20.06), raven (22.09-22.10) and otter (20.01 - 18.02). Let's move on to the description of these Indian totems:
- Deer. People born under this sign are graceful and sensitive. They are also fast and restless. Having caught fire with an idea, a deer is able to show enviable diligence and ingenuity. At the same time, the totem lacks concentration. He easily switches to a new activity, having lost interest in the old one.
- Crow. This is a mysterious animal that can influence external circumstances with internal force. Representatives of the totem are in no hurry to reveal all the secrets. They are characterized by inconsistency. On the one hand, the totem gives them the ability to work in a team, promote other people’s ideas, see the “right” people, and organize the process. On the other hand, crows are accustomed to being leaders and try to maintain their independence even among like-minded people.
- Otter. Representatives of the totem are clean and businesslike. They have courage and are ready to defend their ideas through struggle. The latter, by the way, are distinguished by their originality. There are many inventors among otters. However, often their discoveries turn out to be impractical, and the commitments taken are too great.
Hawk Clan
Let's continue to get acquainted with Indian totems. The energy of fire is symbolized by the swift hawk. People of this clan are energetic and easy-going. They quickly “light up” with new ideas and tend to act impulsively. At the same time, the hawk man has well-developed intuition.
Usually these are very passionate, active people who are in love with life. It is natural for them to experience flashes of inspiration, work with passion, and get carried away by the work. Courageous character, perseverance, and self-confidence allow them to achieve success.
Hawk totems
The hawk clan includes: falcon (date of birth 03/21 - 19/04), salmon (date of birth 22/07 - 21/08) and owl (date of birth 23/11 - 21/12). Let's look at each of the totems:
- Falcon. People born under this sign are energetic, love new experiences and do not tolerate routine. They easily accept life's challenges, are full of enthusiasm, but are not persistent. Because of this, the case is abandoned halfway. Others negative traits The totem is impulsiveness and the tendency to “have your head in the clouds.”
- Salmon. People of this sign are playful, energetic and generous. They need to be in demand and be in a vibrant relationship. The salmon man is confident and responsible. However, he often does not take into account the opinions of other people and tries to dictate his terms to them, which leads to problems. When faced with difficulties, representatives of the totem quickly lose their inherent optimism and plunge into hopeless despondency.
- Owl. A person born at this time is perspicacious and knows exactly what he wants to achieve in life. He knows how to see hidden opportunities, is resourceful and ready to take an adventure. But owls avoid tedious activities, preferring to think alone. They are independent, love freedom, but at the same time, representatives of the totem need the support of like-minded people and loved ones. Strong relationships are very valuable and should not be neglected.
Amulets and amulets
To make the connection with the totem animal stronger, the Indians wore special items reminiscent of it. Such amulets were created manually by shamans or priests of the tribe. The process was accompanied by rituals during which spirits were invoked. The remains of a killed animal could not be used in the manufacture of amulets. Finished goods ordinary Indians wore it on their clothes and braided it in their hair. Warriors decorated their weapons with them.
In many tribes, totems were applied to the human body; in this case, they were painted bright colors. They were often given a frightening appearance to frighten the enemy. Through a talisman it is easier to come into contact with an animal and gain access to its power. This was also facilitated by ritual dances, during which the movements of the beast and its habits were imitated.
Indian totems are part of the mythological picture of the world of ancient people. For them, nature was alive and powerful. Man and his totem animal were considered connected by inextricable threads. A personal patron could appear in a stressful situation and save a person from trouble, giving him his cunning, speed, vigilance or strength. Today we are far from nature. But perhaps we still have something to learn from her?
Agree, man is a mysterious creature, always striving to find the main thing, that precious grain of truth that will reveal all the secrets of existence, open invisible palaces, and everything will become extremely simple, and clear and specific answers will be found to all questions.
From time immemorial, people tried to find out as much as possible about themselves, created religions and philosophical concepts, looked for the roots of their appearance in the great Cosmos, in natural phenomena and in evolution, and in everything they looked for themselves...
The Indians of North America, for example, were totemists.
They created a whole complex of beliefs, myths, rituals and customs associated with the idea of supernatural kinship between certain groups of people and so-called totems - species of animals and plants.
The main type of totems is clan, or tribal, but each totem clan has another gradation, the so-called personal totem...

Element AIR - BUTTERFLY Clan:
The butterfly begins life as a caterpillar, and then, undergoing a series of transformations, acquires the ability to fly.
She flutters, waving her fluttering wings, which are colored with all the colors of the rainbow. The tribes that chose the butterfly as a totem for the element of Air not only paid tribute to its wonderful gift and great ability to transform. The butterfly served as a characteristic of Air, since it, like Air, is in constant motion and tireless activity, flying from place to place. The element Air is a great transformative principle. The breath of the wind always changes the state of the atmosphere. So the butterfly illuminates everything it touches with a radiance of beauty.
As a rule, Butterfly people have the hidden gift of great innovators and sorcerers who know how to translate information from world to world.

Element FIRE - FALCON CLAN:
The Falcon is a majestic bird similar to the Eagle, but with rounded wings.
Among the American Indians, he evoked associations with the Sun, since he had the ability to fly at great heights and, therefore, get closer to the luminary. It served as a symbol of thunder and lightning, selflessness and understanding. The falcon personifies the radiant energy of fire, its swift rush towards the chosen victim is like a sudden flash of insight, and its powerful powers are akin to the frantic energy of fire. At times he was compared to the mythical Phoenix, a bird capable of being reborn from the ashes. This comparison pointed to the ability of fire to purify and transform, to decompose matter into its component substances and to supply building blocks for the construction of new forms of the universe.
Falcon people are often guided by intuition and are easy-going. They quickly light up and get involved in actions impulsively, under the influence of a momentary impulse. They love life passionately.
These people often experience flashes of inspiration, sparkling with new ideas and projects, and they are familiar with the fervor of enthusiasm necessary for the real implementation of ideas. They are usually distinguished by vigilance and energy.

For a long time, a little girl, Jodie Bergsma, was tormented by nightmares.
Her mother, calming her down, said that if she drew them, they would never be able to scare her again.
Her childish monsters, dragons and various monsters prepared the ground for her future works - paintings that were born in her mind.
At about age 15, Jodi began painting professionally, selling her watercolor paintings at local art shows.
Hundreds of her originals, mostly children and pets, were sold when she was a teenager.
Even then she realized that her life would be devoted to art.
