Excerpt from book: "Elephants Up Close"
Augury is the age old study of nature and animals. In ancient Rome augurs were consulted prior to any major State undertaking. Certain officials were assigned to observe and interpret nature for guidance in public affairs...Julius Caesar was a respected augur.
The term augur is used to refer to anyone who uses the messages of animals and nature for guidance and divination purposes. Most scripture and mythologies surrounding the spirit of animals have the underlying belief that divine forces speak to us through the natural world.
Animals can show us our potential within, lead us to our dreams, they are our teachers, friends and companions.
