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.
When we come in contact with our spirit animal, we often 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 often give us the strength to enact changes, make brave decisions, and live our truth.
There are so many ways 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:
- 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.
Spirit animals are the guides that appear in your life because you need to learn something from them – rather than 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. We can also have multiple spirit animals.
However, most of us tend to carry one central spirit animal with us throughout our lives that doesn’t change.
In other words, there are both short-term and long-term spirit animals.
While short-term spirit animals help to temporarily 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 her. As my own essence is very similar to that of a Wolf – and the lessons I’ve learned in this life closely match what Wolf teaches – I consider Wolf to be my long-term spirit animal.
Many other short-term/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 got an owl. The uncanny thing is that in the past 2 week. On two separate occasions I have seen an owl flying past in the night sky around 11 o’clock. Each time it looks at me makes noise dips its wings and flies off. I am close to the city, so this is Quite unusual. Also, this is the actual first time.I’ve seen an owl in real life. Each time i’ve Felt a A connection as though the owl was speaking directly to me. Also I noticed the night sky always bright with stars like brighter than Usual, this is been very spiritual and magical experience.And so when the owl appeared as my spiritual animal It was no surprise.

My spirit animal is the Dolphin. My life is all about bringing (and keeping) harmony, balance and self-love every day. I’m working on exercising my will power to stop eating potato chips….my number #1 food challenge in this lifetime. :) Thank you for this wonderful & insightful quiz.

Would you believe I have a panther tattoed on my left side of my back and have considered since I was a child the panther was my shadowy animal friend. I had the tattoo done to celebrate leaving my ex and taking freedom of my own body and choices 15 years ago and she hasn’t failed me yet. I was blown away when Panther popped up on the screen after the quiz. I am having a hard time at the moment feeling lost and scared and I really needed this to help me. Thank you!
