 | | Some Native Americans and other followers of tribal religions take a dim view of New Agers' and others' adoption of totem animals, arguing that a non-adherent cannot truly understand totemism apart from the cultural context, and that at worst, it represents a commercialization of their religious beliefs. | | | It is possible that totem culture may have spread from China to the rest of the world. | | | In modern times, some individuals, not otherwise involved in the practice of a tribal religion, have chosen to adopt as a personal totem an animal which has some kind of special meaning to them. |

| | A man no more worships his totem and regards it as his god than he worships his father and mother, or brother and sister, and regards them as his gods. | | | In pure totemism among the aborigines, the totem is never a god and is never worshipped. | | | It is a serious, though apparently common mistake to speak of a totem as a god and to say that it is worshipped by the clan. |

| | Originally an important part of the Potlatch ceremony, a feast with deep meaning to coastal First Nations, totem poles were once carved and raised to represent a family-clan, its kinship system, its dignity, its accomplishments, it prestige, its adventures, its stories, its rights and prerogatives. | | | ancient, wierd totemic traditions were once in place (Totem pole practises are quite logical and have evolved mostly over the last 200 years since metal tools made totem making easier. | | | Though it is technically an oversimplification to say that Bear means "dignified self-sacrifice" or Wolf means "powerful healing" or Sea Serpent (Siskiutl) means "bravery in war" these interpretations contain a kernal of meaning within them. |
