Twin totems

Hi, I'm keeping with studing the words from this book Emotion: smile I guess "twin totems" it's from the american calture?
I have no idea what it says ...

"They had no idea what it was like to be her. Ambition and caution were the twin totems of
her psyche, and she was torn between them"
