I have completed my latest totem drawing, the beaver. I am very happy with how it turned out. I enjoyed working with the colors as they blended just the way I wanted. I like how the tail came out as well. It’s like I can feel the texture of it just by looking at it. I’m not going to lie, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed creating this piece. I was a little nervous with the ink but the colors really bring it together.

BEAVER SYMBOLISM

If the beaver has crossed your path it may be time to pay attention to your home and family life. Beavers are known for their advanced skills in building. When they create their homes, there are many entrances and exits. This teaches us not to create a corner for ourselves to get trapped in. Leave many openings for new experiences and let the waters flow freely. Do not get stuck down one path but instead allow yourself to try new things.

The beaver is the builder of dreams, the one who takes action. Have you been working towards your dreams lately or just waiting for something to happen? The beaver knows it takes hard work to finish projects. Make sure you are putting forth the effort to finish your projects. Are you sour because you have to work? Buck up, buttercup. You get nowhere if all you do is day dream. It is time to take action! Projects do not finish themselves and dreams do not manifest out of thin air. You have to build them!

The beaver is also known to stay with one mate for life. The beaver understands that family and teamwork are important. We can achieve major goals when we work together. Everyone has a specific talent that they bring to the table. We must appreciate each other for the individual talents we contribute. When everyone is playing their part and encouraging each other in the process, your dreams can finally become a reality. Build your dream home together!

The beaver is also very reliant on their teeth. If a beaver were to lose a tooth, they would surely die. Make sure you are taking care of your own dental hygiene!

The beaver has lifted it’s tail and gave a slap in the face! Wake up daydreamers! Stop fantasizing about what you want and just make it a reality. You are the one in charge of your life. Now actually build it into what you want.
