No, you don't.

But, if you do believe in reincarnation ... you could have had a different totem in a prior life, or the same one. Ditto for Guardians.

Well, I don't believe in reincarnation. I find it quite creepy, and there's nothing about my life that would lead me to believe that I had another one at any point. Good to know tho. I don't have a totem regardless. What percentage of the world's population does that put me in?

According to some Robert Thurman, we've had millions of past lives. If so, I can see the utility in not remembering them.
