The author begins with her childhood affection to animals that took her to living on a pig farm. She discusses the difference between animism and totemism. I love her information on dogs and their connection to us. She gives a lot of information in connecting with your animal guide and how to maintain the relationship.
There are several meditations to find and work with your spirit guide/spirit animal along with rituals and suggestions for altars. She also provides information working with animal bones and parts, and shells. I discovered in Chinese astrology, I was born in the year of the Ox and my husband was born in the year of the Rabbit. She also provides a short meaning and keywords for many animals. If you are an animal lover or want to work with animal, I highly recommend this book to you.
