Amazon.co.uk Review
Want to learn how to speak the language of animals, large and small? Easy-to-read and understand, Ted Andrews' bestselling Animal Speak shows the reader 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, they were most likely excessively emotional and passionate in their early years, but as they got older, learned 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. --P Randall Cohan

An eye opener
I am studying the Medicine Wheel, I bought Ted's book because I thought it would compliment my studies. That is an understatement! This book is amazing, it has helped me to see animals with renewed respect. The Book has shown me how to look at my totems' characters and apply it in my own life. This has taught me a great deal. I feel much more relaxed and comfortable within myself. This book is a must.

Two words: Suprising and Good
This book, in a way, changed my life. It made me realize how interrested I really was in shamanishm. I started to attend meetings and courses because of this book. It has truely changed me. Giving me a great insight into my self and into my envirnoment. Yet a negative mark is @ it's place. I find the book not covering enough animals, or to few animals from around the globe. This is why i gave this book just 3 stars.

Still it IS a MUST read...!

Fascinating
Picking up this book three years ago changed my life. I bought it because everywhere I went I was seeing skunks. This troubled me a bit so I decided to listen to what was being said to me. What I "heard" blew me away. Living in the city limits my physical animal contact, but Ted's book called attention to the power of animals in my dreams as well as in my waking hours. Who knew what powers squirrels embody? I thoroughly enjoy this book and don't go more than five days without consulting it. I actually had to replace my last copy due to wear.
