I agree. Yours are the right words indeed.

Wolf. I love wolfs in general. Not like I've ever seen one but they feel kind of special to me and if it was possible that I could own one, I definitely will.

The subject of spirit animals is a difficult one. I recently read an article about Rick Riordan. In one of his books, one of his characters said that Tinkerbell was her spirit animal. It was mean lightly, but he received a backlash from communities who believe in spirit animals, and he eventually chose to change that line in the book for future printings. I thought that was very interesting!

Anyway, I think this book treats the topic with respect and reverence. All that being said, my spirit animal would definitely be a cat--a hunter, a small quiet companion, and sometimes a total goofball!

I feel like my Spirit Animal would be a fox. I have red hair and it seems fitting. Alternative option maybe something that could fly although I cant imagine really what kind of bird. Maybe an owl, that does seem appealing.

I would like to be wolf. I like their speed and the way they remain in a pack having one leader and all follows him or her. I like their unity.

An eagle. It flies higher above storms and higher than all animals. It's eyes are very sharp and can see very far.

This is a tough one actually because I think I currently am a mix. However, my inspirational spirit animal is the owl. Wise, intuitive, resourceful and calm - all the traits I would like to improve.

Being a cat lover, I wouldn't mind to have a lion or tiger as my spirit animal. Independent, but still loving at times.

The animal I could most relate to would be a cat. I'd probably be Swift Paw or something like that. Cats just have this air of 'can't be bothered' and are so cute for no reason. I more relate to the former than the latter.

I once attended a shamanic ceremony and it came out that my animal guides are the wold and the eagle. They stand for independence, security, and freedom.
