You really are quite a interesting personflowerforyou

Thank you Maam. It's been a long and sometimes difficult journey. In the last twenty years, I have finally been able to mature. It took all kinds of things. From initiation by men, sweats, rainbow meditations and a lot of time in the wilderness learning to deal with neediness and loneliness.
I can finally dance naked in the moonlight without inhibition.drinker

err,how do you go about figuring out your spirit guide?

im bearly able to stop lol-ing at that bear too :wink:


Just decide you want to know and the animal will start showing up in form or another.

I have a very strong reaction to all birds of prey. But, the Raven is the bird that follows me around.

Funny you should say that, in birds, the one that follows me around the most is the dove. I see them quite frequently.

I've always been drawn to care for dogs.. Everyone I know will tell you that I must be part dog because I'm the first one to go outside and roll around in the mud with one lol.. I absolutely cannot see a dog go without a home, food, water, or love, even if I've never met it before..

I just saw 3 coyotes outside my place, about 500 ft away. What'd think that means?

The Cat -- The Great Teacher of Magic and Mystery; the cat lives totally in the moment with a deep psychic and spiritual awareness. Independent and unpredictable, agile of body and mind, a free thinker that meets challenges by perceiving the unseen. (One cannot own a cat; the cat will give and receive love only on its own terms)

At home in the dark of the night it is a valuable ally when encountering the supernatural and facing your primal fears. As the cat’s energy field flows opposite that of humans it has the healing ability to neutralize your negative energies. (The healing energy cannot be taken from the cat, it is only given as a gift.) The cat teaches that the physical and spiritual worlds are not separate, but one.

In ancient Egypt cats stood guard at the temple gates and throughout history cats have been seen as the protectors of the pathways to the sacred mysteries. (The Egyptian goddess 'Bastet' takes the form of a cat. The Norse goddess 'Freyja' rides a chariot pulled by two cats) Note the colors and characteristics of your cat for that shall be mirrored in your life and will help you to understand the mysteries that your cat will reveal.

Cat Spirit often brings the warning of being the recipient of misdirected anger.

*Cats in the home often serve the role of healer and will sit near anyone in the household who needs healing, speeding the recovery period. A cat's purring can help reduce his owner's stress or anxieties. Cat purring can ease discomforts such as stomach pain, and also help boost immune systems. It is also important to pay attention to the health of your cat. Cats will often take on the symptoms of ailments being suffered by their humans. When this happens, appreciate their talents as diagnosticians, so take heed. Get your cat to the vet AND make an appointment for yourself to have a health checkup.



Funny thing, I use my cat as a spiritual gauge if you will at times. Sometimes it is as if he can see things and I can feel whatever it is he seems to be seeing. Sometimes I will be unsure of what it is, I look at him, if he is relaxed, then I assumes all is well.

Ok.

So I just took an online " quiz " to try and find out what my Animal Spirit Guide is...

I scored dead even on Wolverine and Hawk.

Great. Another thing in my life that can't make up it's damn mind.

But....scrolling down the list...I actually resemble the Crow, even though I didn't actually score well on that particular critter.

Oh FFS.

Horse, Hawk and Wolf are my core three.

Raven/Crow, Jaguar, Snake, Armadillo, Rabbit, Owl, Dragon, and Boar are my others. And there's still others that come and go.
