(X-posted a few places; thank you for your patience, and for this little bit of promo space! I promise to keep it short and return to my usual book reviews and occasional commentary. If this needs to be removed, please let me know.)

I'm pleased to announce that my newest book, DIY Totemism: Your Personal Guide to Animal Totems, just arrived on the doorstep! Would you like to bypass prefabricated totem animal dictionaries and rehashes of the same trying-but-not-trying-to-be-like-the-Indians material? Click here for details!

DIY, hmm this might be what I am looking for. Though your advocating of the book might be biased due to being the author : |

"even deeper between the potential interaction between therianthropy and totemism."

Uh oh, if I read the book (or even touch it being that you might have touched or signed it) then I might in turn into one of those theiranthropes, some monster with a tail on the fanny, and that would be a mighty weird thing to happen, but might be ok too...?

The book I guess makes a good point of having a person compose a dictionary of their own definitions of a animal being that the same animal with two people could have totally different meanings (to one a animal may be a harbinger of doom, but another the same one may be a guide from the higher source or a sign of good things). Sounds like a hard bargain, I might get as a good source for spirital knowledge despite the risks of turning into a theiranthrope. No sacrifice, no glory!

(yea and I can't resist making a few quibbs and jokes every so often:D)
