QUÉ SIGNIFICA TOTEM EN INGLÉS

Tótem

Totem

Un tótem es un ser, objeto o símbolo que representa un animal o planta que sirve como emblema de un grupo de personas, como una familia, un clan, un grupo, un linaje o una tribu, recordándoles su ascendencia. En el parentesco y el descenso, si el antepasado apical de un clan no es humano, se llama tótem. Normalmente, esta creencia se acompaña de un mito totémico. Aunque el término es de origen Ojibwe en América del Norte, las creencias totémicas no se limitan a los nativos americanos y los pueblos aborígenes en Canadá. Creencias semejantes a las del totem han estado presentes históricamente en sociedades de gran parte del mundo, incluyendo África, Arabia, Asia, Australia, Europa del Este, Europa Occidental y la región polar del Ártico. En los tiempos modernos, algunos individuos solos, que no participan en la práctica de una religión tribal, han optado por adoptar un espíritu personal auxiliar de animales, que tiene un significado especial para ellos, y puede referirse a esto como un tótem. Este uso no tradicional del término es frecuente en el movimiento de la Nueva Era y el movimiento de los hombres mitopoéticos.

A totem is a being, object, or symbol representing an animal or plant that serves as an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, group, lineage, or tribe, reminding them of their ancestry. In kinship and descent, if the apical ancestor of a clan is nonhuman, it is called a totem. Normally this belief is accompanied by a totemic myth. Although the term is of Ojibwe origin in North America, totemistic beliefs are not limited to Native Americans and Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Similar totem-like beliefs have been historically present in societies throughout much of the world, including Africa, Arabia, Asia, Australia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and the Arctic polar region. In modern times, some single individuals, not otherwise involved in the practice of a tribal religion, have chosen to adopt a personal spirit animal helper, which has special meaning to them, and may refer to this as a totem. This non-traditional usage of the term is prevalent in the New Age movement and the mythopoetic men's movement.
