My main one is a Cat, without a doubt. In my dreams and in real life, I usually have different kinds of domestic cats who mainly teach me to believe in myself intuitively.Cats bring the gifts of psychic power, independence, intelligence and creativity.
The other guides I have right now are the Hawk, Butterfly, Spider, and Monkey.

Strange, does that happen often?Originally Posted by RealThing
The Butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and love, metamorphosis. The "dance of the butterfly" can teach you not to take things so seriously. The butterfly has taste sensors on the front legs, enabling them to experience life through motion (dancing, walking). If you are going through changes or transitions in your life right now, study the butterfly to make these changes beneficial, joyful, and rewarding.

Oh wow, that's awesome! This is the first time I've heard of Butterflies being attracted to bright auras, but I can believe it. Haha
I don't think the white butterflies mean death thing is true, because I always see white butterflies around and nothing has happened...yet. (Knock on wood)
Probably just a myth, don't worry

Well last year I had the Hawk as my spirit animal. I believe I still do, however, because when I close my eyes sometimes, I see the Hawk flapping those majestic wings of it's. Plus, when I walk to a friend's house, the hawks always follow me. I also found that the fact that I have crossed a dead possum several times on the road within a short given time was very strange. Perhaps this somehow ties in? I doubt it, but it's a strange consideration.
Just realized this earlier today, I think my other totem would be a bee. I've hated them for no apparent reason ever since I can remember but I ALWAYS find them around me, even in the late fall oddly enough...

:-) Withe Butterflies are a very good sign that the air you re breathing is pretty clean and unpolluted.
Scientists have proved that the withe butterflys are normally seen where the air is cleaner, because the pollution of the air mutates their wings, so they became coloured.
So if you see a withe buttelrfly breathe deep :-)

A blue-tailed skink.(You should google it, a'cause it's really cool looking, and I can't post links/pictures.)
I was walking downtown with my friend when we found one of those little beauties just hanging out on the sidewalk. When my friend tried to get close to it, it just ran, but I managed to put my hand an inch in front of its face before it ran into a store. lool. Twas an interesting little critter to see in the middle of town. It was cool because, earlier that day, we were trying to figure out what my spirit animal could be.
The eagle, the bear, and the spider.

Ah, so many! I've been very blessed in this regard! So many of the nations have had compassion for me, by showing me their ways. I'm eternally grateful to all!
The Otter Nation came to me in a dream several years ago when I was living a very uptight life. It said basically “you need to lighten up or your gonna die!”. I really feel like it saved me, at least gave me a whole new lease on life!
I honor it by keeping CONSTANT VIGIALANCE! Constant vigilance to laugh at myself as much as possible and keep a playful spirit!
Thanks Otter Nation, I Love You!

Remember that they are close & can hear you. So no great effort is required, they wish to be in union with us. When you initially call out to them ask if any have a message for you or medicine, remember the rule of three. They will present themselves to you in some way, at least three times in fairly short time period (if that’s what you need to be cognizant of it).
You may feel disadvantaged if you live in the city, seemingly removed from nature. This is not necessarily the case! They can present themselves to you in any depiction of themselves, dreams, daydreams, even cartoon characters on TV, or car hood ornaments. What would seem meaningless alone, will start to standout in succession. If you find yourself fixated on an image of an animal & feel that sense of synchronicity, there’s a good chance that that nation is trying to communicate with you!
Some come and go for specific times, needs and growth periods. The temporary ones generally will take off if you are closed off completely to them, but even if it’s completely subconscious they’ll stick around if they are getting through to you on some level.
Once you look back over your life from this perspective, you’ll probably be able to identify some animals who are the “usual suspects”. They’ve been reoccurring like this throughout your life. Those are usually your Power/Spirit/Totem animal which are there to aid & work with you all of your days!

Toad, butterfly, giant Manta ray, green sea turtle.
For the toads I provide lush habitat and move them to safer places if they loiter too near the roadway or drive way and might get crushed. I also get off the ride mower and pick them up and move them out of the way.
I plant butterfly gardens to give them food and dance with them when they migrate en mass to my yard in the Fall.
When I used to swim in the ocean and the manta rays would circle me I'd laugh and hum to them. Also I would send out my energy to them and give them love and delighted feelings.
When I would interact with sea turtles I would tease them . ( That was a bad thing to do , but I was young and dumb.) Now when I see them I cheer or swim along side them if I am scuba diving.

One that I've had for a long time is an octopus,a crab, I also feel a leopard or lion. some sort of wild cat.
Just curious - I've never researched this particular totem. Any insight?A blue-tailed skink.

Turtles! I've always been drawn to them!
I've seen dolphins and whales in meditative states, not in the sea, but in the flowing cosmos instead. I've listened to their songs, and understood. Sometimes great birds as well, with wings like flames, like a Phoenix. This is the first I've heard of "spirit animals". If there's something to it, I guess they would be it.
*Insert Clever Comment Here*
While on a trip with lucy I was at the beach and I was looking into the horizon and I saw whales and dolphins swimming across the sky.
It was so magical..
We live in a holographic universe full of illusions.
I believe it is felines in general, but also the owl, and the coyote. I fear coyotes, but yet I feel drawn. The owl I often see by day. My two cats have a language of their own. They keep me safe, and I feel comfort in talking to them. They always listen, and respond to my feelings or needs in some way
Dog
I admire. respect. (envy?) the wolf for its power, intellgence and fierce freedom.
I admire the coyote for it cleverness, adaptability, independence and strong family values--like the wolf.
But I'm a dog.
The wolves and the coyotes and the foxes make fun of me and insult me--but i don't mind....because....
i am G-D's dog... and that means everything to me.
Besides...i can kick the butt of any wolf or coyote that ever lived Ha! (ref. my family's martial arts career and my own martial arts career.)
(if any of you run into Satan--the Hound of Hell--tell him I'm looking for him)

ps I have lots of animal stories up close and persona. I have had an experience--real experience-- with: a wolf; mountain lions; a whale off of Florida; a porpoise off of florida, an 18' hammerhead shark off of Maui, eagles, owls, gopher tortoises, a sea turtle off of Lahaina (we spent the afternoon together--i learned a lot); velvet ants; a maxium sized tarantula, deer; lots of horses; a donkey; and an 11' Black Indigo Snake deep in the woods of Florida. The Black Indigo experience was very mystical/spiritual but of course, it was a real snake. Definitely my favorite snake--i learned a lot.
"Animals I have Known" book by Ernest Thompson Seton. Wonderful book. If you love animals--read it! You'll all love the Story of "Lobo"--a real wolf in the American West. Hunters and trappers from all over the world came to hunt him for the huge bounty and the prestige--he beat them all. Lobo the invincible. But he died for love. He died of a broken heart when they got his wife.
