My spirit animal

Resonator wrote:Many years ago I did a similar guided meditation to see if I could find my power animal.    What turned up was a large dog with a coat of sleek black crow feathers.

Never could figure out what that meant, but there it is.

Blueanchor I spend a lot of time in nature and often feel its energies. I agree about magazines, but I think its interesting that I was expecting a blackbird and something else turned up, it must mean its not just my imagination   xxx

The questionnaire said my spirit animal was a blackbird I loved that idea. Then I did the meditation. I had to visualise myself in a place I felt at home, so I pictured a beach, I had to put on a protective cloak and call my spirit animal, the visualising was all going well and I fully expected a blackbird to turn up.

Well along comes this little white puppy/lamb type of creature, it looked like nothing I'd ever seen before and it looked up at me adoringly. I was so surprised and overcome I opened my eyes and that was that. Very unexpected.

I wonder if anyone knows if the same spirit animal stays with you or do they change? xxx

And has anyone had a similar experience?

I have the same question, but I do not know exactly what it looks like.. What I can recall is just it is on water but not a fish.. Would you mind sharing your magazine so I can also determine mine?

I had the Raven for a long time. Then a phase was done and he left. 
Since, I haven't really felt any one animal in particular although I have had a few years of feeling very close to the marsh harrier and also the kestrel. But that wasn't the same as the Raven.
I had a gorgeous silver Celtic design Raven pendant. I wore it every day for years. Until Raven left. I took it off and I never wear it anymore. it doesn't feel right.

And that's okay too, I'm fine with it. I do heed messages from animals when I get them, like a few years ago suddenly noticing ducks. Of course they're always there, but suddenly... they called me. 
Then I look up what they stand for, it resonated, so that's cool!
I also cannot imagine having another animal than a bird, or not a bird of prey.
