I was thinking of coming up with a Trash totem but don't know how to go about it without having the shaman considered "toxic." It was inspired by the character from "The Winter Market" (found in Burning Chrome by William Gibson) named Rubin, who was a 'master of junk.'
Is it plausible to have a totem so ingrained with modern human culture?
Any input, perhaps from from shamanic aficionados and/or Gibson fans?
