Here is the link to the general Whale Totem, and that poem also contains the Dolphin Singer as well.

The black and white coloring of the Orca suggests Heyoka medicine, much like the land-bound Coyote... a sacred clown deeply involved with the yinyang flow of energy found throughout life. They have sometimes been referred to as Seawolves, in fact.

They are more closely related to dolphins than whales, despite being known as Killer Whales, and I would suggest that you take a look at Dolphin Totem, although Orcas are very different than either of these completed Totems. They are more predatory and aggressive, although they have an equally complex language and social structure. They Dolphin/Whale/Ocean contained in that poem may help to give you insight into Orca though, as they are closely involved and act as balancing energies for each other. Looking closely at the lives of Orcas will reveal more to you once you've had a look at Dolphin and Whale. Whether you are drawn more to, say, a Resident type of Orca or a Transient type will make a difference too.

I have one more Singer to finish writing about from this last poem, and I'm trying to finish the editing process on what I have now rather than writing more new Singers at this time. But, I will try to have a look at the Orca and see what lol surfaces. Until then, hopefully, this info will get you started. Enjoy!

Hmmm, well I haven't covered the Killer Whales specifically although I have covered Whales in general. I had hoped to cover the Orca during the expansion as I go through the editing process to prepare these works to become a book.

I try to fulfill requests when it comes to the Singing series. Which Teacher did you have in mind?
