The Animal Magic of Reptile and Amphibian Spirit Animals

Each type of spirit animal (land, water, air, insect or reptile each have common qualities to the species).  Reptiles are all about finding and luxuriating in warmth, their bodies require it.  If you have an animal totem, you are sure to thrive in an arid environment, you most definitely need clean air and wide open spaces where you can get away for renewal and regeneration.  A quiet retreat or a wild day on a dusty trail on a hot day is what your mind, body and spirit yearn for. 

Just like you, reptiles respond to the glory of the heat.  Reptiles are cold blooded and require warming up in dry spot where they can absorb the healing energies of the sun, alas it is safe to say that the reptiles are the truest form of sun-worshipers. 

Having lived for millions of years as a species, it's safe to say that reptiles and amphibian spirit animals know a thing or two about survival and adaptability.  The interesting thing is that these amazing creatures haven't changed much over the millions of years, they still look much the same as they did so long ago.

Shamans have long had great reverence for these mystical beings of the Earth, having rattles made from snakes, using found turtle or tortoise shells in their sacred ceremonies and rituals.
