I throught I put now and again what some of the animal spirits mean by Dolfyn book
Shamanism Animal medicine powers
Ant is a tireless, patient worker who cooperates with her tribe in perfect unity. Ant is more than a scavenger, surviving on crumbs and bits of leaf.
She is a steward, a farmer and a herder.Some ants grow a fungus that they harvest, store and eat, some ants herd an insect that they bring out during the day to feed, bring inside the ant hill at night and "milk" for its sugary liquid.Invoke the ancient medicine of ant for patience, the ability to work hard and harmoniously with others, and the wisdom to plan carefully.
love and blessings

I shall look forward to your various postings...I am studying Native American Teachings at the moment...(when I have the time amongst all the other things I do) and would love to read whatever information you would care to share with us....
May I add just a little to your post, from White Eagle Medicine Wheel
Ant:
Efforts together work as one
Patience and love accomplishments done
Contentment and trust yours to provide
Consistency and commitment others will comply
luv & peace

RE: Ant
DONE IT! One about grasshoppers & one about moths
Ted Andrews Animal speak is an excellent book to get on this subject.:D
RE: Ant
Hiya
I have the book 'Animal-Wise' The Spirit Language & Signs of Nature....by Ted Andrews and that also is a great book....
This is some of what it says about Moths (blood runs cold @ the very thought of them)[:o]
When moths persist in flying around you, a letter will shorly be coming your way bringing important news. the size of the moth often determines the size of the letter and the importance of the news. This and many other superstitions exist around moths & their closes relatives, the butterflys-love Butterflys
.....The Moth....
Does the situation smell right to you?
Are you catching & following the scent of possibilities?
Are you ignoring what you are sensing?
Do you need to stimulate some new relationships?
Interesting....still don't like moths[&:]
luv & peace
