Awesome Possum and her Traveling Babies!

Opossum has an archetypal energy that helps us to use appearances to our greatest benefit and that helps us to recognize when others are creating false impressions. Opossum can help us learn to divert attention or to get attention any way we need. Sometimes it is necessary to behave or act in a strategic manner. We may need to appear fearful or fearless in spite of how we truly feel. We may need to show submission or aggression. We may need to be apathetic or extremely caring. Opossum is the supreme actor, and those in the acting field can do no better than to work with the opossum. The playing dead that the possum is famous for is a self-induced state of shock. The opossum can enter and leave this state abruptly--pretty much at will. This act serves to confuse many predators. (Excerpts from Animal Speak by Ted Andrews)
