Have You A Spirit Animal ?

Many of us have spirit animals and for those of you that can journey you may have met yours . In shamanism, a power animal is . Representing the essence of a species rather than a specific individual pet, they are accessed through shamanic journeying, often to restore personal power or provide healing.  The journeying typically, is in the lower world and the animal may choose the practitioner or facilitator. These animal’s often have a purpose of providing spiritual, emotional, and physical protection, and offer wisdom regarding the “medicine” (specific power) they bring  While some helpers are temporary, a primary power animal often accompanies a person for a long time, if not for life. My experience is they have changed , maybe as I grow on my own journey other animals step in they are almost always wild animals as all power animals are such as mammals, birds, reptiles, or fish not really domesticated pets, but they can also include mythical creatures like dragons. It is also important to treat all spirit animals with respect and as spiritual allies. Its also interesting how in ancient times many drawings and hieroglyphs in caves depict animals , Egyptian culture shows many animals and some cultures have found old graves with animal’s buried with a human. My own perception is many animals and birds show up in s specific way and I have a knowing that my guides and spirit are sending a message of connection with these animals or birds. If you know where to look you can get information of a message that is being delivered with these furry and feathered friends we also need to include reptiles and insects as they have messages and medicine as well. This is a huge in depth subject and again I just wanted to wet your appetite to notice what animals are in paintings on your walls or what tats you have, notice if a certain animals turns up in your dreams its a fascinating subject if you are open and curious to what is. Notice nature more closely around you and see what shows up
