Photo/s of the day. Moet and Maybe.

We let the cats out again today.
Moet is so hard to get back inside again!
Today I picked him up and carried him in, because food lures didn't work, lol.
Bloody Moet.


You can't see meeeeee.

[Wildspeak] Totem Essay - American Mink (Neovison vison)

Oh my goodness it has been SUCH a long time since I've done one of these. Anyway, this essay was a commission for a full essay. I'm still working out how to advertise that I'm offering this, but in the meantime if you're interested, feel free to email me at ophelias.diary@gmail.com - the only thing I ask is that I be allowed to post the full essay up at wildspeak.com and around other sites for the use of others too. Here it is:

American Mink - Complex Thoughts and Philosophies
Neovison vison

Keywords:

Requiring rich environments to thrive, protected safe places, fresh-water wisdom, complexity, being drawn to complex concepts and philosophies, dense study over light skimming, needing seclusion to find nourishment, being desirable for what you produce; not who you are, wanting energy in reserve, willing to go to deep, painful places for wisdom, connections to telepathy and mind-to-mind spiritual contact, using hostility as a weapon, underestimated intelligence, possible clashes with European mink and otter energy.

( The full essay, including general description, expansion on keywords, shadow totem aspects and communion are under the cut. )
