Spirit animal - how to find and work with them.

Most of the witches had a familiar.. some mages do too... but not many know that specific animals might be also having a specific meaning, and guide you.

That's why today we will talk more about spirit animals and working with them.

What are spirit animals?

These are lesser spirits that have the only form of an animal. That's why their name. Every single animal has specific qualities and behaviour, about which you can learn. They reside mostly in the lower vibrational words, but this depends. Shamans believe they can be met in the underworld only. It honestly depends of the spirit - every spirit has different vibrations too.

What I can do with my spirit animal?

You can learn from it. It's supposed to guide and help you work on your character, as often their meaning is also related to your emotions. Very often they become as your familiar and are always around you. They can also sometimes physically help you by possessing another animal and help you. Very often you can easily communicate with them in the astral world.

How can I find my spirit animal?

You can do it on Meditation named as Shamanic journey, the script is below:

Play some shamanic drums..this music will assist you during your journey and help you relax.

Lie down and close your eyes.

Focus on your body and allow it to relax.

Now focus on your heartbeat and your heart chakra.

You are standing in front of a forest and look at the path in front of you. Follow it and look around yourself. This forest is deep inside of your heart chakra. After a moment you will see a huge tree. Notice how it's looking and what kind of tree it is. Everything here is important. As you observe the tree you will notice that below it is w little hole..as you come close, the hole near the roots becomes bigger. Walk into the hole and let yourself fall. As you will do so focus on your intention which is meeting your spirit animal. You might fall or see yourself walking over the stairs deep down into the earth. Once you will focus on your intention you will be able to see your spirit animal. You should see it at least 3 times. Then take it with you and walk upwards with the animal in your hands. You can communicate with it freely.

Then follow the path back... You will notice that on the end of the path is a sigil which will help you get back into your own body with your memories. Note down what you saw. Play some shamanic drums..this music will assist you during your journey and help you relax.
