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 want to know if it is safe to find a wolf?
Thank you for creating this website and sharing knowledge of the AWAKENING. This has been a stranger time in life with the realization of being able to connect the pieces to the puzzle called ‘Life.’ My spiritual awakening has caused havoc in my life. I was not prepared for such a downfall. I know I’m not losing my mind; my thoughts have always been on a different level compared to my peers and their thought process. I’m looking forward to the outcome of this new found knowledge. I hope I can get it right this lifetime. I would not want to keep going through these cycles of life trying to fulfill a ‘Soul’ contract I know nothing about. Knowing that astrology plays a part in all this makes my journey more interesting because I was born on the cusp of Aries – Taurus. You can say, I’m a living contradiction with two opposing personalities. If I did not have insight about who I am at my core; I would really think something was completely off with me being who I am as an individual. I wish us all well! I accept this AWAKENING as an opportunity to get life right… Read more »
I got a spider. Makes sense really. I think I have 2 spirit guides. Most other tests say I get a sloth, but most descriptions fit. I say my short term is the spider and long term is sloth
Panther
Nice
Dragonfly

Hi I’m happy I came across Lonerwolf, I’ve learned some new things and New words what they mean I love the quizzes to0, :)
I’ve always believed that my spirit animal was a eagle because that’s what was always around me and protecting me I don’t know.
Thanks for the quiz! I really appreciate your efforts.. Although, I wouldn’t mind the wolf as my spirit animal :), but, let me tell u the questions asked were not just good but, the options were difficult to choose from.. So, not sure if the conclusion of wolf as my spirit animal is wholly correct.. Thanks again
