Spirit Animals

Spirit Animals, Power Animals, Familiar Spirit and Totems

A spirit animal is a creature that stays with a person for their life - both in the physical world and in your spirit. Although people may identify with different animal guides throughout their lives, it is this spirit animal that acts as their primary guardian spirit.

The Fates mark the spindle of thread for that person's life with the animals - even if the person never knows which is their Spirit Animals, Power Animal, Spirit Familiar or Totems.

The terms “spirit animal” and “power animal” are often used interchangeably, even though they have slightly different meanings :-

Spirit Animal Definition

Spirit animals are typically associated with shamanic practices. During initiations or shamanic journeys, the shaman would find one or several animals that they or another person is associated with. Traditionally, the spirit animal is used for guidance.
A person can consider their spirit animal as a guardian spirit or spirit guide. It can play the role of protector and provides guidance.

Power Animals Definition

The power or essence of the animal can be felt or communicated. In that sense, spirit animals can also be referred to as “power animals”. Since, the spirit of the animal can unite with the person it relates too in more personal ways - will often find similarities in traits of personality, characteristics, and synchronicity between the two.

Familiar Spirit Definition

A person's familiar spirit is often very different from their Spirit Animal, Power Animal and totem. While a totem is an inherent part of who they are and accompanies them in throughout life. A familiar spirit, however, enters a person's life when they become involved with some witchcraft, Types of Magic, Eldritch magic, or shamanism. They may possibly purposely invite a familiar in their life, or it may find them due to their magic usage.

Animal Totems Definition

Animal totems are a symbolic connection to an animal's spirit. These totems provide spiritual insight, wisdom, and a deep connection to nature, with beliefs varying across cultures but generally involving a lifelong relationship with a specific animal's energy and attributes.
A totem serves the emblem of a tribe, clan, family or individual.Members of the clan are not allowed to kill or eat their totemic animal.
