Review:
Want to learn how to speak the language of critters, large and small? Ted Andrews’s bestselling Animal Speak is easy to read and understand. It shows readers how to identify their animal totem, learn how to invoke its energy, and use it for personal growth and inner discovery. Nature lovers will love this insightful compendium, chock-full of touching stories about animals, natural history, and animal folklore. Readers will also learn magical animal rites and how to read omens. Animal Speak includes a dictionary of bird, animal, reptile, and insect totems describing each creature’s meaning. For example, if a person’s totem is a dragonfly, he or she was most likely excessively emotional and passionate in early years, learning with age to balance it with mental clarity and control. If a dragonfly suddenly shows up in your life, you may need to gain a new perspective or change. –P. Randall Cohan

Note from Margaret Ann Lembo
I am forever grateful to Ted Andrews. I first met him when he offered an event at my store, The Crystal Garden, on this book, Animal-Speak. He introduced me to my first publisher, Llewellyn Worldwide, and because of him, my first book, Chakra Awakening, was published. I dedicated Chakra Awakening to him.
