Animal-Speak: The Spiritual & Magical Powers of Creatures Great & Small by Ted Andrews

Ted Andrews presents techniques for interpreting animals as spiritual symbols, totems and guides. The reference considers more than one hundred animals, birds, insects and reptiles through their behaviors and associated meanings.

Rituals include sacred dance and practices described as shapeshifting. These belong to Andrews’s spiritual framework, not a scientific account of animal communication or a representation of every Indigenous tradition.
