When one is called to connect with their spirit animal it’s a sign they’re ready to evolve into their ‘true or authentic self’.
Science gives us evidence that DNA matches can be found between humans and many other animals even plants. This means living things are infinitely intertwined.
First, and most importantly, your spirit animal is not separate from you. Its energy and spirit is now and has always been part of you – of your basic nature. After all, humans are animals.
So, in some ways, you are your own spirit animal.
Finding your spirit animal can radically change your life in countless, positive ways. Working with your animal spirit guide’s ‘energy’ or ‘medicine’ can help enhance your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual abilities.
While most witches work with animal familiars, many also work with spirit animals, this is done by choosing a particular animal, and taking into consideration its inherent energies. Each animal has particular characteristics that can enhance and empower, all magical and healing work. By understanding the archetypal energies associated with each animal, you can align with the soul of the animal you choose and work together in harmony. You may wish to work with one particular spirit creature, or to summon the one with the qualities required to empower and enhance your work.
