A peacock once sat outside an upstairs window at Sounds True, peering in the glass, causing all the employees first to wonder where it came from and then begin to question the spiritual significance of the bird’s appearance, asking what it might mean for us as a company. More than superstition, many of us have learned from the number-one authority on understanding and connecting with animal spirits. It is with great sadness that we now mourn the passing of author Ted Andrews, internationally recognized author, teacher, mystic, and master storyteller in the shamanic tradition. He died on Saturday, October 24, 2009, due to complications from cancer.
In 2007, Sounds True published a 3-CD audio workshop by Ted Andrews, Animal-Speak: Understanding Animal Messengers, Totems, and Signs, filled with teaching stories collected from Andrews’ three decades of presenting this material to students across the globe.

“Ted was truly a mystic who understood the heart of all faiths.” said Anthony Dalessandro, Sounds True national account manager.
Andrews was the author of over 35 books, including the best-selling classics Animal-Speak (Llewellyn, 1993) and Animal Wise (Dragonhawk, 1999). A highly acclaimed speaker and teacher, he conducted sold-out seminars throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia.
