Mother Otter and Baby
Otter
Otter holds power in the Below Realm, the world of water and emotions. Otter also draws some power from the Middle Realm, the world where humanity dwells. Otter is the guardian of the direction of North-Northeast. Otter manipulates the elemental powers of air within the element of Earth, this is where the interactive mind goes beyond the limitations of the rational world.
As an animal spirit totem, Otter teaches to be unpredictable, stepping out of the box of mundane conventionality. Otter possesses great skills at finishing tasks, letting nothing stand in its way as to distract or hinder progress. Otter teaches you to allow your curiosity, creativity, honesty and intuitiveness to be your guide through any project. Though people may not understand your methodology, your end results will speak for themselves. Otter has a memory like a steel trap for details, retaining everything ever taught or learned through experiences. Otter wants to know all the specifics, opinions, and perspectives of others, and awaits the opportunities to share all he knows with others, with great enthusiasm. So with this, Otter teaches to be mindful of being overbearing in conversations, and not to always share everything you know all at once.
Otter is extremely playful, marching to the beat of his own drum. Anytime is a good time to frolic about and dance in the moonlight. Otter teaches that this is a healthy attitude to take towards life, however, remember to keep your feet firmly planted as to bring yourself back down to Earth when there is work to be done and a steady focus is needed.
