*inspired by this thread*
A symbolic totem for each function:
Fi: The Wolverine
The Wolverine requires a lot of space and solitude, each Wolverine has distictive patterns and markings that make it unique, when a Wolverine really cares about something it fights with a surprisingly stubborn tenacity and spirit. Due to it's mysterious and solitary nature it is often misunderstood.
Se: The Dolphin
The Dolphin of all animals most appreciates the value of play, from launching themselves into the air to blowing bubbles the Dolphin approaches life with an intense curiousity towards new sensation experiences. The Dolphin always looks for the most efficient means of doing things (hitching a ride on a bow wave etc.).
Ni: The Spider
The Spider spontanteously weaves mysterious and near invisible threads of great complexity, these threads can form great webs that have seemingly come from nowhere. From the centre of it's web the Spider senses the interelatedness of all things.
Fe: The Lion
The Lion is one of the most social of animals, it is keenly aware of group hierarchy and social role. The Lion's greatest strength is in it's coordination and cooperation with others in the pride. Life and death depends on the effectiveness of teamwork. When threatened Lions are fiercely protective of each other (within the pride). Lions are highly communicative and can be very outwardly affectionate.
Te: The Beaver
The Beaver is the great builder of the animal kingdom, not content to adapt to it's environment instead the Beaver desires to master the environment, adapting the environment to itself with the construction of elaborate dams, canals and lodges. The Beaver values work and efficiency.
Ti: The Kea
The Kea is a parrot known for it's logical problem solving ability. It takes great delight in solving puzzles. Much to the dismay of it's human neighbours the Kea is immensely curious when it comes to novel or new things and will often enjoy deconstructing objects for fun.
I'm struggling to think of one for Ne and Si.
What do you think? What Totems would you give each of the functions?
