Totem Crystals
Totem crystals are
a system of identifying crystal formations and attributes. Everything in our
planetary system is interconnected. The various parts of the Earth Mother are
connected with the animal species on our planet. We refer to them as totems. The
nine totems that follow are the primary crystals that make up the Earth's
crystal population. They are paired together with their animal counterpart, and
their totem direction for the Earth. They are the building blocks that all the
other totem crystals are founded on.
