Shamanic Totems

Totems are sacred objects infused with mystical energy that embody the spiritual essence of a Shaman's connection to the world around them. Crafted through ancient rituals and imbued with the symbolism of tarot cards, these totems serve as conduits for a Shaman's powers. When activated, a totem channels its specific qualities and abilities, enhancing the Shaman's magic and influence. Shamanic Traditions dictate the appearance of these totems, as well as grant additional totem options.
