If you're one of the many people looking to reconnect with the creativity, wisdom, and vital energy of the natural world, here is a fantastic guide for tapping into the power of animal totems, or beasties. <p/><i>The Book of Beasties</i> invites you to explore why certain animals show up in your life--and what teachings they may be trying to share.
