In dem Zusammenhang eines Websites aus der Esoterik-Branche, einen Bezug hier zum indianischen 'Schamanismus'.
Wie übersetzt man am besten "Kraftgegenstand"?
Ich weiss, dass oft von "totem animal" der Rede ist, wenn man auf Deutsch "Krafttier" sagen würde, allerdings ist dieser Gebrauch umstritten, da "totem" ursprunglich doch nicht auf dieser Art benutzt würde.
Da es hier eher um die neue, moderne Variant dieser alten Tradition handelt, bin ich trotzdem geneigt, "totem" als Übersetzung für "Kraftgegenstand" zu verwenden.
Oder sollte ich lieber "fetish" schreiben?
Danke für Eure Meinungen

power object
You will find an explanation here. The site does not permit copying and pasting! http://www.mysticfamiliar.com/archive/Spiralpathway/sp_power...
Draw a circle clockwise (either real or imaginary). Step inside the circle.
Hold the power object, if you can, or place it inside the circle with you. If the object is a spirit guide or power animal spirit, hold it in your imagination, or bring something to represent it, such as a figurine.
Stand facing South.
South represents the attributes of faith, strength, and protection that your relationship with the power object can bring to you.
Imagine the energies of faith, strength, and protection flowing into the circle, into your power object, and into yourself.
Give thanks and honor to the energies of the South.
etc.
