Totem

Dark and cunning, the crow represents what lies mysteriously hidden deep inside ourselves. Communicator and strategist, it lies in wait, understands, and informs its own. As for the frog in its beak, it is to shores what the crow is to tree tops. It represents the relations between elements, its life being at the frontiers of water, earth, and the sky.

Strong and patient dweller, the great bear is to me the quiet authority of our wild forests. Often perceived as clumsy, it turns out to be a fearsome hunter when necessary, able to capture the stealthiest salmon in flight. Exceptional swimmer, the salmon can move against the current, eager for the swirl of a new challenge along the river of its existence.

Hard-working rodent, designer and architect of its environment, the beaver sits at the base of this construction. Meticulous and resolute, it transforms matter, inexorably, and creates structures to liberate and protect its own. Nature and its elements gives itself to the beaver, because it contributes to the necessary renewals of natural balance.
