Description
WHAT’S YOUR STORY? This totem can be a powerful way to share your story without needing to speak. Wearing a totem can give you the words in your heart, reminding you of your strengths, nature, and place in life.
WOODPECKER SYMBOLISM: Woodpecker symbolizes grit, determination, and confidence. Woodpecker was made to stand out, and he proudly marches to the bead of his own drum - the beat of Mother Earth. In Celtic cultures, birds represent prosperity and fertility. Legends represent woodpecker as a symbol of digging deeper to fulfill our inner desires and remain diligent.
MITÁKUYE OYÁS'IŊ (Lakota Language “ALL ARE RELATED”): The understanding that we are all connected can transform our views of the world. This totem can guide us towards compassionate living and an appreciation for our differences. Wear it to tell your story and inspire others.
REPRESENT YOUR TRIBE: Wear a single bead to represent your spirit or stack the beads to create your totem tribe. Each unique bead includes a double hole to stack into a totem pole, serving as a reminder of the special talents and personality traits of the individuals that make up a tribe. Stack the totem of your significant other, your children, best friend, or co-worker.
HIGH QUALITY: Our hypoallergenic, black oil-rubbed and gold-plated beads come with unique packaging that is sure to please the eye. Each bead comes on a black 1mm lace rope chain with a stainless-steel rotary clasp measuring 55mm (22”). Included is a keepsake card with your thirteen power words and a story of your totem’s characteristics, lifestyle, historical symbolism, and insightful facts.
SIMPLE & UNIQUE: Each totem bead has been carefully designed by our family. Taking notes of the totem poles and carving artwork of the West Coast tribes including Lingit, Haida, Bella Coola, Kwakiutl, Tsimshian, and adding our own contemporary twist, they are sure to be a conversation starter.
A MEANINGFUL PRESENT: This personal gift celebrates your loved one’s uniqueness, reminding them to live true to their spirit. Perfect for women, men, teens, or tweens. This jewelry is ideal for Mother’s Day, bridesmaid’s gifts, birthdays, or best friend gifts. This simple piece is suitable for casual wear but can also be striking at a work party or family event.
ALL STORIES MATTER: We are passionate about letting every light shine- every story be told - and every individual living with pride, purpose, and ownership.
NOT JUST A NECKLACE: At My Totem Tribe we don’t just sell jewelry, we inspire authentic living. That’s more purpose-filled moments, mindful wellness, and daring to live without regret.
A MISSION TO GIVE BACK: A portion of proceeds go towards connecting foster children with their totem. Foster children often face uncertainty, wondering what or who they can count on. Our goal is to build up the one that will always be there: themselves. Through choosing their totem they can take pride in their identity and take charge of their destiny.
