Description
Animal Medicine by Erika Buenaflor is a guide to connecting with animals and their spiritual wisdom through ancient shamanic practices.
The book includes an alphabetical guide to 76 animals, explaining each animal’s spiritual gifts, shapeshifting medicine, the realm they are associated with, and their symbolic meaning when they appear in a dream or vision.
Buenaflor details the trance journeying techniques and shapeshifting practices of ancient Mesoamerican shamanic traditions and modern-day curanderismo. She explores how to strengthen our connections with our spirit animal guides.
In this guide, Buenaflor explores the animal mythologies, spirit journeying techniques, and shapeshifting practices of ancient shamanic traditions and modern-day curanderismo. She examines how Indigenous Mesoamerican peoples used animals in their ceremonial healing and divination rites and explains the innate gifts and powers that different animals embody.
She explores why certain animals are associated with and provide access to the nonordinary realms—the Underworld, Middleworld, and Upperworld—wherein deities, ancestors, supernatural beings, and medicine can be connected with or obtained. The author delves into shapeshifting practices in detail and the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual benefits we can gain by engaging in these practices.
Offering an alphabetical guide to 76 animals most prevalent in ancient Mesoamerican legends, ceremonies, and medicinal rites, the author details each animal’s spiritual gifts, shapeshifting medicine, the realm they are associated with, and their symbolic meaning when they appear in a dream or vision.
Providing multiple methods to connect with animals for spiritual guidance, self-empowerment, and healing, Buenaflor reveals how each of us can enrich our lives with ancient Mesoamerican wisdom for working with animal guides.
