I think my animal spirit guide is a cat. I seem to worship cats,I love how independant they are. I have two cats, but I used to have Three cats. Our cat snowball had to be put down because he couldn't pass his stool.

Hello everyone, I love animals from the tiny lady bug, to the majestic elephant and everything in between. A couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to get a reading from our wonderful Sylvia. It was the most exciting phone call of my life, and when I heard her voice at the other end of the line I was elated. I asked her if we had animal spirits around us, and she said "Absolutely"!!! In fact, your Animal Spirit is a Cheetah. I was blown away, since I have always had a big soft spot in my heart for this beautiful, fearless, tremendously fast Big Cat and keep a beautiful painting of a Cheetah in the Library. A very long time ago, I followed a TV documentary about a female Cheetah, who was young, beautiful, an agile hunter, and always pregnant. Several years passed, and this gorgeous Cheetah, had one litter after another. Caring, protecting, training, and feeding them until they matured. And then, while on patrol for a meal, the unthinkable happened. Cheetah damaged one of her front paws badly, and experienced great pain with each run. Needless to say, it became infected and at one point, all she could do, was resort to small rodents, and unable to make it to the water hole. Was Cheetah pregnant at that time? I'll never know... But when she died and stayed under the hot sun, it broke my heart badly enough, that I have never forgotten this wonderful animal. Many times when I feel I am not up to the task at hand, I remember her steadfast determination and will to survive until the very end. I learned a valuable lesson from Cheetah, "Never give up, believe in yourself, and keep on trying". My daily prayer, always includes my gratitude to my Animal Spirit for being with me always. And one day, will meet again. LAYLA October 4, 12:50am

I was told that my animal was a hawk, a young one that was learning. I thought this was strange and I was disappointed. I had thought a cougar, horse, tiger, wolf, something much stronger and with a large presence. I then doubted that he was telling me the truth. I thought that he was only telling me a line as he liked me romantically. When I asked him the name of this hawk watching over me, he told me the name "Isis". My mouth fell open. He did not know that I had just named a friend's kitten "Isis" because of the male cat they had named Pharaoh.This was a sign of confirmation to me that it was real, he told me the truth, and I had a hawk as my spirit guide. When I told him of my disappointment, he told me that hawks are able to get up very high and see trouble coming from far away. I felt reassured then but still wonder why I have a young one that is learning when my life has been so very emotionally hard.

There is a tarot deck that deals specifically with spirit guides and totems that can be used to figure out what your own are. However, the easiest way to learn which animal is calling you for whatever reason is to watch who shows up in your life. My own are simple, Raven below, Hummingbird above, wolf and bear to each side, hawk and spider to my front and back. Add to that the racoons, oppossum, and peregrine falcon who've visited me and my daily lessons are clear. Ted Andrews has a book out called "Animal Spirits" and a website called, "sayahda.com" that allows you to access information regarding the majority of animal kingdom. I believe that we are here to protect them, that we do ourselves and them a disservice when we don't. They are part of the reason we're here in the first place..

I found out my animal totem is an elephant. Which for me makes total sense since I have always been drawn to african animals, elephants in particular. What magnificent creatures they are, but then again all creatures are magnificent in their own way. I shudder to think what this world be like without this unassuming little (or big) angels.

I absolutely LOVE animals and have reverence for all life. I realize their vital importance on Earth and am humble in recognizing that they have a right to be here just as we do. I know that what affects one, affects all. A very survival is connected to the conditions of our planet and animals. I feel animals are often more God-like then we are. They follow the natural order of things and I would not nearly be as blessed and joyful without the many pets I've had through my lifetime. They truly are unconditional. I believe my totem is a bird. They are beautiful spiritual animals and have frequented my dreams. "Live in accordance with the nature of things. In dwelling be close to the land."
