Story

The Tornak is an animistic guardian spirit who can appear as a human, stones, or a bear. The Eskimo angakok (shaman) would serve as liaison between the Eskimo people and the helpful Tornak. Through these ceremonial exchanges, the angakok could procure medicines, solicit advice, and seek atonement to help prevent misfortune. All the earth energies come together in centrums of abundance. The bear represents protection and the cycle of life. Fish are symbolic of fertility and the radiating sparkles indicate expansiveness. Feathers indicate a connection with spirit.

Divinatory meaning

Peace and prosperity will enable you to enjoy more flexibility and freedom. Be generous and spread positive energy with others.
