Spirit Animals


Spirit Animals
Find your animal totem
Although in this day and age we are often isolated from the natural world, staying in our houses and automobiles, and often limiting our contact with the outdoors to vacations and weekends; it is important to remember we are animals sharing the same life energy with all living creatures. Since the dawn of human history, Shamans of all cultures have shown the importance of spirit animals. Often coming to us as guides, or, as totems, representing the animal form of our souls, all earth’s creatures from mammal to insect can have significance to our spiritual growth and development if we pay attention.
The most common way to find a spirit guide is simply to go outside and experience nature. For those of us in the country we can encounter a variety of creatures that speak to us from deer, to bears, birds and splendid insects. Those of us living in the city, however, may feel there are no animals that can lead or teach us. Oddly some of the most reviled city dwelling creatures: rats, pigeons, cockroaches do not have such bad reputations as spirit guides and totems. Rats represent tenacity and cleverness, cockroaches the ability to survive under any circumstances, pigeons the value of home and community. When you think of the qualities needed by a human city dweller, these creatures do seem to exemplify what is necessary to conquer the urban jungle. So pay attention to your outdoor surroundings wherever you are and you may be buoyed by a sense of animal power.
Finding your animal totem, however, is a bit of a different process than simply recognizing a spirit guide. The disclosure of a totem is intuitive and personal. Your own animal spirit may not reveal itself right away; it many cases it a process involving dreams and meditation. Still, to help you on your way and to give you an idea of the variety of animals that can speak to your soul, to follow is a short quiz. It may not reveal your exact spirit animal, but can point you in a direction of a genus and species compatible with your energy.

The word "psychic" is also used as an adjective to describe such abilities.

Psychics appear regularly in fantasy fiction, such as in the novel The Dead Zone by Stephen King. A large industry and network exists whereby psychics provide advice and counsel to clients. Some famous psychics include Edgar Cayce, Ingo Swann, Peter Hurkos, Jose Ortiz El Samaritan, Miss Cleo, John Edward, and Sylvia Browne. Psychic powers are asserted by psychic detectives and in practices such as psychic archaeology and even psychic surgery. Critics attribute psychic powers to intentional trickery or to self-delusion. In 1988 the U.S. National Academy of Sciences gave a report on the subject and...
