description: Everyone has an animal guide. At least this is the belief among most animist (native belief systems). The word that is sometimes used is totem. Animal totems are given to us just like a sacred name. It assists in defining our soul purpose, ability and character strengths and challenges. Well, at one point, I did a special meditation and discovered my totem to be a monkey. I was at first disappointed. I mean who wants a monkey totem. I expected something grand like a black panther, an eagle, a dragon or even a grey dolphin. But common a monkey? I recoiled at first intimidated by the monkey's association with Darwinist materialism, race and social engineering. I searched briefly for more information but did not find anything that inspired me in anyway. Most documents had only brief notes and citations on monkey totems. Most information was mirroring the false beliefs I had learned in school and society. I was really prepared to drop the whole idea. I decided many years later to investigate it and see what I could find. What I found was explosive. I had anticipated a small booklet but this document could have easily been more then that. The final manuscript gives a good outline and understanding of simian mythology found all over the world. In Africa, Japan, China, Europa, and South America, I uncovered a hidden cult honoring primates of all kinds and in some cases still thriving. You won't find a book quite like this anywhere. I know because I looked. This is one rare gem that deserves to be in the library of anyone who is interested in ancient native practices, animal medicine, African goddess lore and in the unique kinship ties that bind humanity and primates.
