Groundhog

Altered States of Consciousness

A very difficult and powerful totem to have,

Groundhog is the symbol of opening fully to the dreamtime.

Of exploring altered states of consciousness more deeply and fully.

Dreams will have great significance.

Lessons associated with death, dying and revelations about its processes will begin to surface.

Groundhog can teach its people metabolic control.

How to go into the great unconscious without harm.

People with a Groundhog totem need to have definite

boundaries in their life and let those around them know those boundaries.

Groundhog’s power is strongest in Winter and two years is an important time period.

Two years of intensive studying might be required to achieve

true trances or alter states of consciousness.

This is often the totem of Shamans and Mystics.
