In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of zoomancy, or “animal dreaming,” uncovering how animals convey profound wisdom and guidance through their symbolic presence in our lives.
Our guest, Scott Alexander King, shares how his deep connection with animals from an early age has offered him consistency, guidance, and an inner knowing. Together, we explore the roles of spirit animals, power animals, and animal totems, learning how each serves as a guide, protector, or teacher.
Scott reveals his unique process for identifying individual animal archetypes and spirit animals, offering insights into how these connections help people find their way. We also discuss how Mother Earth led Scott to his life’s work in Earth, Nature, and Animal Medicine, a path he continues to follow with her inspiration.
Ruth and Scott discuss her experiences with her own animal guides—Jaguar, Wolf, and Tawny Frogmouth—and how they impact her life. The episode also touches on the symbolism of colours and feathers, offering practical tips on interpreting these signs when they appear.
Scott’s mission to get people to stop, listen, and pay attention to the messages from animals is at the heart of his work, and this conversation, inspiring us all to walk more harmoniously with the natural world. Join us as we learn to recognise, honour, and integrate the teachings of animals in our lives.
Something to note, there is a feather symbolism demonstration towards the end of the episode. Tune in to the episode on YouTube for this part so that you can get the most of it 🪶
