New Moon Totem Animals

Roughly all nocturnal and watery creatures can be symbolically linked to the Moon in one way or another. But some totem animals reach their highest power precisely during the New Moon.

If your animal is one of those, New Moon may be the most resourceful time for you too, no matter how exactly you prefer to work with animal symbolism and spirits.

Here’s the list of "typical" New Moon Totem Animals.

FLICKER

Flickers are known for their drilling behavior. They make holes in trees to extract food. During the New Moon phase, flicker’s energy can encourage us to persevere in our endeavors and to remain focused on our objectives.

In search of food, these birds also tap and drum. It connects them to new rhythms coming into our life with a new moon cycle. Flickers even have a black crescent pattern over their breast area. The black color of the moon reflects the New Moon phase and ability to experience emotions more intensely.

Keywords: initiation, renewal, persistence, new rhythms.

HAWK

To the Ojibwa, the red-tailed hawk represented leadership, deliberation, and foresight. Just as hawks soar high above the earth, gaining a broader perspective on their surroundings, they inspire us to rise above our own limitations and see the bigger picture of our lives and goals. They remind us to trust our instincts and intuition as we set new intentions during the New Moon phase.

Keywords: intuition, insight, vision.

OWL

Owl is the bird of magic, darkness, prophecy, and wisdom. It is associated with «dark» feminine energies, Lilith, the first wife of Adam who refused to submit to him, and goddess Athena. In some belief systems, owls are seen not as evil incarnates, but as wise and knowledgeable beings. Much like the symbolism of the New Moon, which is a time for introspection, reflection, restrategizing and accessing inner wisdom.

Keywords: mystery, omens, wisdom, intuition, transition, renewal.

PANTHER

According to Amazon legends, the roar of the jaguar is the roar of thunder, and the black panther is the god of darkness who can cause eclipses by swallowing the sun. Panthers are associated with the New Moon phase due to their nocturnal nature and their ability to move through the darkness with grace and precision. They are often seen as mysterious and elusive creatures, much like subconscious mind. Panthers symbolize the ability to dive into the depths of the psyche and uncover hidden truths.

Keywords: renewal, intuition, transformation, the mysteries of the unseen world.

TIGER

In the Hindu tradition, the tiger was sacred to the goddess Kali, which is also connected to the New Moon. Mighty and resilient, tigers symbolize inner power and the ability to overcome challenges. New Moon is a time for turning inward, tapping into inner resources, and renewing one’s strength. Tigers are excellent swimmers, unlike other large cats, which connects them to water and moon even more. In China, the tiger is both a symbol of darkness and the new moon, as well as brightness and the full moon.

Keywords: inner strength, passion, power, devotion, sensuality.

SPIDER

Spiders are associated with the cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth. They are constantly building and weaving new webs, which is also a lunar cycle symbol. The act of weaving also symbolizes creation and manifestation of dreams and desires. Spiders are patient and persistent in building their webs. They encourage us to be patient as we plant the seeds of our intentions and persist in our efforts towards our goals, even when progress may seem slow or uncertain.

Keywords: creation, transformation, patience, intuition.

OYSTER

Oysters reside in the ocean, which has a deep archetypal connection to intuition and the subconscious mind. These molluscs hold the potential to create a pearl. New Moon phase as well symbolises hidden potential and possibilities waiting to be discovered. Oysters are also constantly filtering water, which brings up the idea of New Moon cleansing rituals and «letting go» practices.

Keywords: hidden potential, the cyclical nature of life, renewal.

Bird, Tiger, Serpents and a Pair of Antlers: Warring States Art Device

Another remarkable sur of the pre-Taoist period.

The sculptural group is dominated by a mighty Bird, whose wings are complemented by antlers. Some have rashly classified it as the Phoenix, according to another version it is a Crane. However, I would warn against light-minded ornithological typing. The thumbnail Tiger serves as a pedestal for the Bird, pressing two serpentine bodies with its paws. The coiled snakes are devouring a pair of fliers.

The artifact may turn out to be a drum stand common at the time. Other figurines of antlered birds standing on tigers are known. This common motif unites the spiritual animals of the Lower and Upper Worlds. The amalgamous zoomorphic imagery is probably of shamanic origin.

Antlered and winged beings were also a widespread pattern in depiction of the zhenmushou (鎮墓獸), tomb guardians. The solemn or ferocious creatures served as the owner's spiritual animals in the afterlife and guides on the ascent to Heavens.

The entire lacquered wood sculpture group is painted black with subtle gold and red ornamentation. The object was unearthed from the Tomb No. 1 in Jiuliandun (九連墩1號墓), Zaoyang, Hubei. Now it is in Hubei Provincial Museum (湖北省族館).

Totem animal art I don't think I've posted here!

I have Co-Chief totems, but I haven't drawn the other one (a Panther) in a while - I'll post her whenever I get to that. C:

Until then, have Nicolai (Co-chief Totem #1, Fennec Kitsune), Celeste (Eastern Dragon), My Tiger totems (they're a fused pair - their colors shift back and forth, hence the appearance) and Esfir/Essie (Lynx)!

Early 2001 Kaare Andrews's cover for Peter Parker:Spider-Man #29. Just before the start of the famous JMS/JRjr era (and also 9/11).

Seems like someone was hyped for the (then) upcoming 2002 movie.

"...KULL LEAPS FORWARD WITH THE FEROCIOUS SPEED OF A TIGER, HIS TOTEM PROTECTOR."

NOTE: Definitely one of my favorite issues because of how pink it is for a Robert E. Howard property, and that awesome blue tiger goes without saying.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on back and wraparound cover art to "KULL the Conqueror" Vol. 1 #1. December, 1982 ["The Power and the Kingdom"]. Marvel Comics. Artwork by John Bolton.

"In an instant, Kull leaps forward with the ferocious speed of a tiger, his totem protector. He takes the mountainside swiftly and surely with an agility learned as a naked youth running with his adopted family, the striped cats of Tiger Valley, on the pagan isle of Atlantis."

-- "KULL THE CONQUEROR" Vol. 1 #1 (December, 1982), story/script by Alan Zelenetz (after Robert E. Howard)

What Is Your Spirit Animal?

Do you have a spirit animal? That’s the blog prompt for today: “What is your spirit animal?” I have no idea how to figure out what mine is. Aboriginal Americans found their spirit animal through a vision quest, some spiritualists find theirs through a dream, other people are lucky enough to have their spirit animal find them. Me? As far as I know, I don’t have such a guide, and if I do, it…

"Well look at you! Say, "meow", Lord Sukuna!"

Said curse blinks at you a couple of times, before using his hands to touch the white, fluffy cat ears placed on his head. "Is...this what humans do for entertainment? Pretend to be animals? I think it would be more appropriate for you to dress up as cattle, considering-"

"Yes, yes I know, you hate humans, i've heard thousands of times," You cut off, quickly smacking his hand away and fixing the ears. "Now look cute — I am going to take a picture!"

Sukuna doesnt move from his position on the bed, just staring at you with a blank face. He crosses his upper sets of his arms and waits for you to be done, slightly amused by your actions, but not enough to give you the satisfaction of his change in facial expressions. Still, you coo at him and tell him to get in different poses for you, but he just continues to stay in place and stare. You arent very suprised, considering it was rare for him to actually listen to your demands, the stubborn thing.

"You arent acting cute at all," you pout, and Sukuna just shrugs, raising his eyebrows. His lower hands trace the skin on your upper leg, and he continues to watch your antics.

"Have I not been taking care of you appropriately?" He asks, slightly narrowing his eyes. "I give you food, water, and even sex. I thought that is all your species needs to live happily?"

You cock your head to the side, blinking at the way he seemed to be in deep thought. "What are you talking about?"

"Uraume!" Sukuna interupts, pulling you closer until the white ears nearly graze your skin. His servant appears less than five seconds later, walking into the room. "My Lord," they bow, before waiting for a command.

You can see the way they look appalled at the cat ears, and are burning daggers into your skin for daring to put him in something so degrading — your class as a human meant that you were the lowest on the totem poll in Sukuna's domain, but still you managed to have the master of it wrapped around your finger.

"Bring me something from a feline descent."

"Of course, My Lord."

"What? No!" you pipe up, but Uraume is already gone. You turn back to Sukuna who was taking the cat ears off, discarding them at his side. Then he pulls you into your lap, ignoring your struggles.

A large hand pets at your hair and Sukuna says, "You should have asked if you wished for a companion."

You cover your eyes with a groan, pulling gently at the skin on your face. "I dont want a companion, Sukuna," you complain, accidentally dropping his title. But, he doesnt seem to mind, continuing to trace your skin with his palms. "I just thought it would be funny to see you in something cute considering who you are."

He blinks at you for a second, before frowning. "I didnt find it funny."

"Yeah, obviously. The only jokes you find funny are about murdering people. Now look, Uraume is out searching for a kitten."

Sukuna doesnt seem to care, instead picking up the cat ears and asessing them. Then he places it on your head, while you narrow your eyes at him. But, the curse cracks a grin, scanning your face. "You are right, this is entertaining."

A breathless laugh escapes you and you shake your head with a whine of complaint. "This doesnt help the "Sukuna's pet" rumors."

"You are my pet human."

"We are dating."

"You can be my lover and my pet."

You push at his chest in complaint, and he rumbles out a laugh. Then you take off the ears, and put it back onto his head. Suprisingly, he lets them remain there, only looking at you with amusement.

A minute goes by, and you hear a familar voice. "My Lord, the cat as you requested."

You immediately twist your body to look for the kitten, excitement getting the better of you. But, much to your suprise, a full grown tiger stands in the middle of Sukuna's chambers, unusually tame.

Your eyes widen in shock, but Sukuna meerly chuckles, before leaning down to your ear and saying, "Is it cute enough for you? A pet for my pet, how humerous."

And after that, you decide to never bring out the cat ears again. Nor mention anything relating to pets — your pride couldnt take the wicked teasing from your lord.

Iwona, 52

“I’m wearing a vintage motorcycle jacket from Urban Outfitters, vintage Easy Tiger sweatshirt from L Train Vintage, vintage white jeans from Unearth Vintage, vintage Zodiac cowboy boots from Madame Fortuna in Narrowsburg, Okkia sunglasses, and Totem Salvaged Eye tote. I love color and patterns. I don’t overthink my style or worry if things go together or not. In my fashion world there aren’t very many rules. Wear what you like and have fun. Recently I got into long board dancing (skating) so wearing more sporty outfits, graphic tees, sneakers etc. For the evening I love to feel feminine and pretty so I’m often reaching for more fitted pieces. I love to dance so I also have to be comfy. Overall, my closet is full of beautiful vintage and new pieces that reflect my colorful and happy life.”

A couple Totem Animal sketches between commissions and other things.

[fandomnerd9602]

Mary Jane stares at Y/N, a fellow spider totem…

Y/N: everything alright, babe?

Mary Jane: have you been working out?

Y/N: only for you, my little spider

Mary Jane bites and licks her lips…

Y/N: what?

She draws close and whispers…

Mary Jane: once I put little May down for her nap, you’re hitting the jackpot, Tiger (winks)

RTT THREESOME — NOW UP ON PATREON

The FMF threesome extra for our favorite imaginary pornstar ((AKA Y/N gets her shit rocked)) (RIDETHET!GER au, pornstar!Harry) — PATREON EXCLUSIVE

preview

She’s never been any good at self preservation. Lights, camera, action— roll over— good girl.

She knows how Harry likes to kiss— it’s somewhere between a soft brush that lingers, wet, and an iron potency that pins her in place. Purposeful. A warm palm that snakes over the column of her throat, a thumb that sweeps against the thick of her pattering pulse. Digits that press into her with a tender hegemony. Soap. Mentha that she chases, slick over his teeth. An illicit tonic in the shape of his tongue when he licks into her mouth. Tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue. 

His dusting of facial hair is gritty sandpaper to her jaw, her cheeks. A chaser for the soft way he seeps in between her teeth.

And then— 

“You’ve gotta share her.”

Amara is a respite that nips. A warmth that gnaws into her and clots her lungs. She’s silken— velvet where he’s coarse, but she twists Y/N’s neck and sweeps into the gap her teeth with such scorching prurience that it clogs her head. Makes something swim in the miry swell, choppy like sludge. 

Makes her marrow ache. 

She tucks Y/N’s hair behind her ear and bleeds into her hungry mouth like liquid sugar so sweetly— and then an anchor. Tenebrose, heavy, like the inky totem carved into his forearm. Tiger draws a stripe with his tongue across the straining side of Y/N’s throat. Takes her lobe between his teeth, palms sweeping feverish over the vale of her waist, all while Laces scrapes her tongue across her teeth like she’s wanted to swallow her whole, after all. A coy thing baiting with false, demure virtue. 

The clothes come off in layers. Peeling to unearth. Fragment by fragment, discarded until all that’s left is denuded hunger. 

Warm hands pasting over her flesh, sticking to her skin, lips stippling up the column of her throat, suckling. She submerges in the wave of their famine, and the rug kisses her knees as she scrapes over the firm muscle at Harry’s thighs. Has her hair tucked back by a feminine palm. 

Another stretches out to cup over the base of Harry’s cock and squeeze— to aim his leaky pink cockhead towards Y/N’s pout. Laces wrings her hair over her fist, and Harry rocks on his heels (a subtle motion— she notes the way he twitches in the other woman’s grasp). 

“Give it a little taste, Birdie.” 

“Mm,” Harry hums. He thumbs at her cheek with warm skin, “Go on, pet.” 

She knows what Harry’s cock tastes like, and still, there’s another flavor that coats the back of her throat with Laces fisting over his hilt. Something glacé when a different hand nudges at the back of her skull (than usual) and his tip blurts over her taste buds. Something treacly enmeshed with the familiarity of his salty precum bubbling out when Tiger drives the tips of his fingers against her temple. She wraps her lips over and suckles. 

“Good girl,” Laces murmurs, kneeling beside her, and a gnarled galvanism skulks her vertebrae when Y/N is forced to recognize that this is, in fact, not a team effort. 

That she’s not fondling over Tiger’s shaft with some sort of synergy— waiting for her turn to hollow her cheeks over his cock. The buzz throbs up through her nape when her hands become batted away. When Amara knots into the roots at her crown sharper— “Ah-ah.”

It’s a reminder that Amara isn’t her ally. 

Hunger— it swelters in her belly, froths until it’s an intumescence. It morphs into a treacle that crowds up around her lungs and wraps her womb in it when his fat cockhead prods against the back of her throat and Laces holds her there. Bobs her head over him until Y/N is spluttering a sloppy mess around him. 

Her jaw aches. Laces yanks her off and lets her chest roll as she wheezes. 

“Good girl,” she coos again, patting at the fleshy margin of her cheek. In Y/N’s peripherals, Tiger’s cock pulses, swollen, and red, and spit-slicked. Laces glances away, “—She is a pretty thing with her eyes all wet—“

Like they’d discussed it— dissecting her mannerisms and habits apart, what she looked like gagging around him—

Y/N doesn’t have the time to mull over that little revelation, because the moment her breathing slows into a more pacific rhythm, she’s guided back and Harry’s tip is smearing precum to her lips.
