I have been very secretive about my totemic associations for a long while. It took a long time for me to trust people enough to tell them my totem. I don't really know why, but that's the way it was. I suppose I have worried that I would be revealing too much, but I have decided that I can reveal my associations now without worry. I am associated with the deer, the young stag. I am not a predator, but I am not helpless prey. I am not a trickster, but I do not lead in a straightforward manner either. I shed my antlers when necessary, and grow new ones. I shed them recently, and am hoping to grow a new pair soon.
