The Power Animal can be consulted in order to obtain advise on problems. This is commonly called "divination". To do this, simply journey to the Lowerworld to see your animal. Your Power Animal is usually quite close by, and you won't have to journey far, before you see it. Quite often, it is at the end of the tunnel.
When you see your power animal, silently greet it, and pose your question. Most often, the power animal will provide the answer by moving it's body in an unusual way. However, sometimes, it may lead you on a journey. The experiences on the journey will be relevant to your answer.
The first few times you do this, it is best to keep your answers simple, so that they may be answered in a 'yes' or 'no' form. When you become more experienced in understanding the animal's language, the questions can be more complicated.
You should keep some form of dairy in which to record your shamanistic experiences. These you should record as soon as you finish a journey, so that the memory is still clear.
You need not wait until you have a problem before you undertake a journey to see your animal guardian. It is beneficial to visit without posting questions. You will find positive things happening in your life around such visits.
