Maybe...a year...year and a half before I met Him, I had an extremely vivid dream. (I have those a lot but this one took the cake) At the time I was a practicing pagan and followed the Norse Gods (with quite a bit of native american animism)...well in this particular dream they decided to give me a bit of a guide in my search for that missing piece. I was told, look for your hawk.
Fast forward to meeting of my Sir, and His birth totem happens to be a hawk (which is sometimes a guide and those of the totem were born at "The time of Awakenings"). Between this, everything clicking in place with U/us and the fact He had reawakened my desire to be a collared pet, it was definitely in my utmost romantic opinion love at first chat on the phone. So He's chosen a tribal hawk to signify Himself (I'll post pictures of it when it's done) and O/our relationship.
