Greetings from Piggy Island! | Introductions | Forums

Hello everyone! My name is Cole and I am a druid and an Exuma Swimming Pig. Not a distinct species, but a group of semi-feral domestic pigs on a Caribbean island who spend most of their time in the ocean! (Fun fact: We also inspired the “Bad Piggies” from Angry Birds!). I knew I was at least partially a pig for a long time, but only confirmed the exact origin recently. My main totem spirit through most of my life was the gorilla, but I began to lose sight of where my identity ended and my totem began. So we split up. I was very confused about my identity for awhile after that, but now I’ve come to realize that ones identity and ones totem do not have to be the same thing. I’ve always loved the ocean, but did not identify with fish or cetaceans. So when I found an article about the Swimming Pigs of Exuma, all the pieces came together.

So, to sum up, I am always a pig, but am also a druid. A druid who is experimenting with channeling other totems to see which gels best with my identity.

I look forward to getting to know you all!
