Your Power Animal

First topic message reminder :

Have you found or do you know what animal yours is?

I've always had a thing for butterflies and cats.

I think, personally, that we have power animals whenever we need them and they change according to why we need them. Although I do have some reoccuring power animals:

The White Stag - Which is a constant in my meditations. I always see him at some point. Often times he leads me to a clearing in my meditation where I can speak with other guides and animals.
The Hawk - Whenever I meditate and ask a specific question, I see the hawk and he helps me see the problem from a different, clearer angle. It's as though he can see a plane I can't, and through his eyes I can see what he sees.
The Black Wolf - I have anger issues, I really do. And whenever I meditate and I'm angry (usually I'm meditating to calm down when I see him) he is there and I run with him through the woods, which is excellent for blowing off steam. I hunt with him sometimes, and he has never failed to understand my anger and help me move the angry energy through me, to let it pass on instead of becoming stagnant negative energy.

However, when I have a different type of question or issue or if I just need to know which way to go in life, I see whatever animal is most relevant to the situation. The stag, the hawk and the wolf are all animals that appear only under certain conditions (except the stag, that's always there).

All of the animals mentioned here are great power animals! It seems like you guys all have strong spiritual connections with the world of guardians, which is great. Does anyone else have a constant? Like, one animal appears all the time and all the other times it varies?

I think animals come in and out too, especially if there's something we need to deal with.

i know it has been a while since this topic was discussed but as i said in a post i added yesterday, i am searching for my power animal. I've read up on some animals and found to that i closely relate to. These two animals are the black panther and the wolf. In the wolf i get the trait of intense loyalty to family and friends. From the panther, i am clever and i feel closely associated with the moon. I have one last character trait that is very strong in me and that is easily angered, and when provoked, it becomes an intense rage, wood this trait match with the wolf, or is the wolf patient? thanks!

Hi Azebeth, perhaps you're drawing that energy from a different animal or perhaps it's just the way you are naturally? Many believe wolf to be a teacher in addition to what you already posted, I can highly recommend a cd by Stephen Farmer which is a meditation cd which will assist you in finding your power animal, other than that you can meditate as you normally would (if you do meditate) and invite your power animal into the meditation.

thanks Violet!

I work with many animal spirits,This is very important in my life now..Ibis comes to mind.
