Our spirit animals are powerful teachers on our spiritual awakening journeys. They help to guide, inspire, and lead us toward our true purpose while helping us to reconnect with our Souls.
What's Your Spiritual Gift?
Spiritual gifts are talents, abilities, and powers that are given to us by Life, God/Goddess, or Spirit. What gift do you have?
When we come in contact with our spirit animal, we immediately feel a sense of resonance, reverence, awe, and sometimes fear. On a deep level, we know that this aspect of Nature is here to reveal lessons and truths that we haven’t yet had the stomach to digest.
However, simply the presence of our spirit animal can help give us the strength to enact changes, make brave decisions, and live our truth. There is so much to learn from these sacred manifestations of Nature.
3 Different Types of Animal Allies
As I elaborate in my spirit animal article, there are three types of animal allies:
Dissolve the shadows that obscure your inner Light in this weekly email-based membership! Perfect for any soul seeker serious about practicing ongoing shadow work and self-love.
- Spirit Animals (guides that call on you)
- Power Animals (guides you call on)
- Totem Animals (guides you inherit)
We’ll only be exploring what your potential spirit animal is in this spirit animal quiz. In other words, these are the guides that appear in your life because you need to learn something from them (rather than you actively calling on them or inheriting them from a lineage/clan). These are usually the easiest animal allies to connect with.
You can learn more about the other two types by reading the spirit animal article.
Can Our Spirit Animals Change?
Yes, our spirit animals often change throughout the span of a lifetime.
However, most of us also carry one central spirit animal with us throughout our lives that doesn’t change.
In other words, there are both transitional and long-term spirit animals.
While transitional spirit animals help to guide us through tricky periods of growth, change, and rebirth, long-term spirit animals are there with us through thick and thin. Many believe that our long-term spirit animals are an aspect of our Soul manifested in animal form.
I believe Wolf, for example, has been by my side since birth as I have always carried a deep resonance with him/her. As my own essence is very similar to that of a Wolf – and the lessons I’ve needed to learn match that of what Wolf teaches – I consider Wolf to be my long-term spirit animal.
Many other transitional spirit animal guides have popped up on my path through the years, some including Dove, Spider, Cricket, Moth, Panther, Deer, Raven (and the list goes on).

I have always loved eagles, and that is my animal test. Eagles means freedom. I want to be free from this world only once my youngest son becomes independent. My oldest one, 23 years old, died in Nov 2021. My only reason to live is the only son left.
I got the Turtle. Always been told and tell others to slow down and enjoy the little things around you.
I got wolf. Always connected to dogs.
Horse 🤗
Makes perfect sense. I have a big Pegasus Unicorn tattoo on my shoulder with his hair blowing in the wind… He is and has always been my Spirit Guardian. Along with my Dragon, but he comes and goes. Love them both dearly.
Wolf!
I got the wolf. I have always had a strong connection to wolfs, but I would have never guessed that it was my spirit animal.
I am the hamster, which symbolizes independence and helpfulness. Hamsters are also my favourite animal. Funny how things work out perfectly!
I wish you gals would post more quizzes! The quizzes are really good😃
i was also wondering if you or anyone else has advise for seasonal depression? Summer is slowly ending here in Europe and it just sucks so much
The wolf
Dragonfly wow never thought about this creature is way cool. Truly always admired the humming bird. But I’ll take a dragonfly. Lol
