Sounds good.

Iggy here:

Same with me.  Now it tends to happen only sporadically.  (Oddly enough,
one of the strongest images in the last 5 years or so was something from
15 years earlier in my wife's life... before we met in person... that I
had no other way of knowing.)

Now my strongest thing is my sympath abilities, "knowing" things about
other people, and my "shielding."

Iggy here:

That, and evening more "accepted" faiths, what truly matters is what
your heart and soul, as well as your higher power(s) tell you is right
for you...

Iggy here:

Baptized Roman Catholic as a baby, Christian (of one form or another)
until 15, Agnostic (and searching) until 17, Pagan from there on out.

Iggy here:

Wolf as primary totem

Coyote is my Spirit Guide (so you KNOW I live an interesting life...)

Can't remember what my other totems are and where, but I know that Stag,
Hare, Butterfly, Hummingbird, and Raccoon (I think) are in there
somewhere.

Indian name as a child (until I was renamed "Coyote's Child" by Coyote
himself) was "Little Duck That Makes Big Noise at Dawning"  (I take this
to be a rather unassuming and seemingly insignificant person who loudly
heralds the arrival of good things.)

> {Anne}
> 
> Water, Air, Spirit my best elements, earth my weakest

Iggy here:

I'm an Earth Dragon Spirit with Earth, Water and Mind as my best, fire
is my lowest strength.  (I'm particularly hard to motivate, but when I
pick a goal that's important enough, nothing will stop me from achieving
it.  The only problem is, it's rare to find something important enough
to rouse an Earth Dragon into motion, especially an Ancient one.)

Iggy here:

Best at protection, and aiding others in healing themselves and easing
their pain (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.)  In
other words:  Shoring up a person's defenses and "smoothing out the
cracks in their personal masonry."
