Those born at this time are born under the Harvest Moon, and the Brown Bear is your animal totem. He teaches us caution, bravery, fairness, organization, curiosity and leadership. Raven is the totem for those born under the Ducks Fly Moon. Raven, very wise, teaches people spirituality, intelligence, community, duality and balance. This is the time of the Freeze Up Moon, and if you were born now, your totem is Snake.
Snake teaches the lessons of mystery, adaptability, femininity, transformation and healing.
Elk is the animal totem associated with the Long Snows Moon. The regal Elk teaches us to be confident, strong, joyful, agile, wise, and responsible. Our masked friend, Raccoon, teaches us merriment, openness, cleansing, wiliness, tenacity and humor. The Dolphin has many lessons for us to learn. They include purity, lightness of being, communication, love, intelligence and spiritual attainments.
