Welcome back to the Zoo in my heart!
The Beluga or actually the whale in general is a totem that has come to me in my dreams. It brings me a message of fearlessness and personal power. In American Indian traditions, this noble creature is often seen as the keeper of ancestral wisdom or cellular memory.
From Big whale to tiny Bee... The bee is one of my most important totems ( along with deer and jaguar) It symbolizes community. This is not just my personal vision of this little creature. In nature, the bee like the ant is reliant on its community. It works as a part of a larger organism and puts the needs of that organism before its personal needs.
Bee has come to me in my dreams. At one point in my life I had a mystic circle of 13 women. We were able to spin a lot of magic with dreams and even telepathic communication.
With time the villain ego started disintegrating the group. I dreamt that bee was at the bottom of a water glass and dying... I noticed that the more attention I gave her the stronger she became and in the dream I was able to restore her health.
The circle regained power for a moment but never regained the power and magic it had in its first few years but I went on to focus my intentions on community work and kept my Bee energy strong.
Let my power fuel the creative and loving part of community is what I say!

I love all of these! (I went back and looked at your earlier ones too.)
I have a small background in Native American traditions and have participated in many ceremonies. I also feel VERY connected to our animal friends and pay attention to who's around and why.
Most recently, iktomi (or spiders) keep hanging about. 😍 And a few bees... but I feel they are just waking up for the season... waiting for our bushes to flower.
One of my favorite totem animals that literally dropped in on us (like materialized and then disappeared into the rocks on the side of the mountain) was a duck. We needed him right then. So he showed up.... in a place where there should be no ducks. LOL! So we listened. 😍
Thanks for sharing these. ❤️
P.S. I found you in the @helpie Fine Art Curation post!

check back often: the rewards you get are credited after 7 days. (up until that time, someone can 'unlike' it and thus take his vote away). If you click the down arrow beside the upvote on each post, it will tell you when your rewards are being paid out. On this post, it says "Pending payout in 5 days".

I am in Love with These Totems
The amount of character that each one of these paintings has is really captivating. I'm a big fan of your color choice and reflected light. I know the colors look even better in person.
Thanks for sharing your work and adding value to the Steemit Art Community.
