I was just wondering regarding your requests, is it possible to make a blank one?
Ah I wish I could! I am ethically against letting other people know what their guides or totems are, or what my impressions of their guides or totems are for two main reasons. 1. I could easily be wrong, with millions of animals to choose from, my brain may poorly interpret one energy as another and 2. It takes away the ability for a person to discover that animal themselves (if they haven't already), if only because there can be a moment of wonder and awe in that journey, and if I am wrong, I may even misdirect the person away from the animal.
I'm so sorry! I know a lot of shamanists don't really have a problem with this, and it may even be a Vilturj-specific reluctance.
And Delicate Mouse is amaaaazing. There's a full totem essay here, which stresses some of their major lessons. But delicate mouse is a complex, cryptic little dude, so there's a lot more in that well. :)
