[Recusant]

A quick and shallow quiz purports to tell you what your 'spirit animal' is. Yeah, I know that it's traditionally a tough process; a physical and 'spiritual' quest that tests the endurance and resolve of the aspirant, but we moderns like the convenience and ease of technological assistance. Who's to say that a brief internet quiz cannot produce authentic results? Oh, old-timey shamans and 'witch doctors'? What the hell do they know, anyway? My hummingbird says they're just trying to protect their monopoly. Roll up, roll up, getcher spirit animals here!

Snake spirit animals, symbols for healing

The snake is close to earth energies and represents life force. Since it's a reptile, the snake spirit animal is reminiscent of unconscious drives and primal instincts. When the snake spirit animal shows up, pay attention to how you use your energy, and where you draw it from.

If you see the snake as your spirit or power animal, be sensitive to your healing abilities towards yourself or others. Cultivate sources of energy and support, especially as they relate to the earth and nature.

In ancient traditions as well as modern times, snakes are symbols of healing powers and opportunities. In the Greek mythology, Aesclepius, the god of medicine, is featured with two snakes climbing up a rod, the symbol of what is known today as the Caduceus.

"The owl spirit animal is emblematic of a deep connection with wisdom and intuitive knowledge. If you have the owl as totem or power animal, you're likely to have the ability to see what's usually hidden to most. When the spirit of this animal guides you, you can see the true reality, beyond illusion and deceit. The owl also offers for those who have it a personal totem the inspiration and guidance necessary to deeply explore the unknown and the magic of life."

One of my favourite animals as well!

I guess that I'm an owl.

I'm a turtle. 

The turtle and ancient wisdom of the Earth
The American continent is referred to as "Turtle Island" in the Native American folklore. It is said that the Turtle carried the weight of the land of that continent on her back. This image is also present in Hindu and Chinese cultures, where the turtle is the animal carrying Mother Earth  and holding the world in balance.

Having the turtle as totem means that you have an affinity with the ancient wisdom of the earth. You are naturally tuned into the elements, land, plants, people and animals. You carry your home on your back figuratively speaking and feel at ease wherever you are.

[Icarus]

I'm a turtle?   That is what the quiz claims.  That revelation is OK because, as the famously quoted lady has said; "It's turtles all the way down".

From another point of view, that site is characterized by nut case ideas....Taro cards, numerology and such.  It is a fun quiz in any case.    A turtle is it?

What It Means To Be The Wolf

The power of the wolf brings forth instinct, intelligence, appetite for freedom, and awareness of the importance of social connections. When the wolf shows up in your life, pay attention to what your intuition is telling you.

This is interesting because I consider myself to be an intuitive person. Most of the time. Yeah. 

The page offers an astute quote by William Ralph Inge:

It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
