About This Candle To understand the power of animal totems, one must accept that animals are messengers and reflections of Spirit. Each animal possesses energy and lessons wondrously unique to that creature. The unique way each animal moves through life holds powerful lessons, just as sure as other humans do. We invite you to pay attention to the animals that grace your path--be they via dreams, in nature, or within your attractions and fears. My book, music and movie recommendations offer literal as well as energetic suggestions that honor the magic of animal totems in our lives. Carla Blazek, creator, zena moon |

1. Animal-Speak : The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Want to learn
how to speak the language of critters, large and small? Easy to read and
understand, Ted Andrews's bestselling
Animal-Speak
shows readers how to identify his or her animal totem and learn how to invoke
its energy and use it for personal growth and inner discovery. Nature lovers
will love this insightful compendium, chock-full of touching stories about
animals, natural history, and animal folklore. Readers will also learn magical
animal rites and how to read omens.
Animal-Speak
includes a dictionary of bird, animal, reptile, and insect totems, which
describe each creature's meaning. For example, if a person's totem is
dragonfly, he or she was most likely excessively emotional and passionate in
early years, learning with age to balance it with mental clarity and control.
If a dragonfly suddenly shows up in your life, it means you may need to gain a
new perspective or make a change.

2. Wolves
Original Release Date: 1999
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Wolves is unique and top notch because it has no man-made musical or voice effects--it has natural sounds found in the habitat of the wolf. This CD takes you to the wolves, so to speak. In doing so, you feel the lonely cries, the active nature of the pack and a connection to nature.

From Amazon.com: Dolphin Quest fits comfortably into the "Tranquility Tunes" genre. A totally relaxing adventure in acoustical instrumentation with a gentle touch of synthesizer intermingled with natural dolphin vocals. A heavenly experience.
1. Whale Rider
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: One of the most charming and critically acclaimed films of 2003, the New Zealand hit Whale Rider effectively combines Maori tribal tradition with the timely "girl power" of a vibrant new millennium. Despite the discouragement of her gruff and disapproving grandfather (Rawiri Paratene), who nearly disowns her because she is female and therefore traditionally disqualified from tribal leadership, 12-year-old Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) is convinced that she is a tribal leader, and sets about to prove it. Rather than inflate this story (from a novel by Witi Ihimaera) with artificial sentiment, writer-director Niki Caro develops very real and turbulent family relationships, intimate and yet torn by a collision between stubborn tradition and changing attitudes. The mythic whale rider--the ultimate symbol of Maori connection to nature--is also the harbinger of Pai's destiny, and the appealing Castle-Hughes gives a luminous, astonishingly powerful performance that won't leave a dry eye in the house. With its fresh take on a familiar tale, Whale Rider is definitely one from the heart.
(1990) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This is the movie that sent director/producer/actor Kevin Costner on his hubristic way. It is such a resonant and powerful film we can almost forgive him the arrogance of his later "epic," The Postman. Costner plays a Union solder who is stationed at the far edges of the West, and left there to rot at his post. He finally sees the wisdom of the Lakota Sioux and finds peace within their community. His decision to "go native" is greatly frowned upon by his military commanders. The story is told simply, and wastes not one word of dialogue, while the South Dakota locations provide a magnificent backdrop. Costner plays an American Everyman who awakens to himself and the world around him. We are drawn to him, and his story, because of his accessibility. As a filmmaker, his attention to detail, along with the stark beauty of the locations, will leave you wishing this ran longer than a mere two hours and 25 minutes. Costner thought so, too, as he also released his 237-minute European cut onto video.
3. Ladyhawke
(1985) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: This lushly produced fantasy has gained a loyal following since its release in 1985, and it gave a welcomed boost to the careers of Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. You have to ignore the overly aggressive music score (critic Pauline Kael aptly dubbed it "disco-medieval") and director Richard Donner's reckless allowance of anachronistic dialogue and uninspired storytelling, but there's a certain charm to the movie's combination of romance and heroism. Broderick plays a young thief who comes to the aid of tragic lovers Isabeau (Pfeiffer), who is cursed to become a hawk every day at sunrise and Navarre (Hauer) who turns into a wolf at sunset. The curse was cast by an evil sorcerer-bishop (John Wood), and as Broderick eludes the bishop's henchmen, Navarre struggles to conquer the villain, lift the curse, and be reunited with his love in human form. The tragedy of this lovers' dilemma keeps the movie going, and Broderick is well cast as a young, medieval variation of Woody Allen. | ||||||||
