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 Dragonfly which is incredibly accurate!! Dragonfly symbolizes:
Dragonfly is an elegant and magical ally who is here to help you master and integrate the lessons you’ve learned in life. As a creature that begins its life under the water and emerges later as a winged being that can swiftly navigate the air terrain, Dragonfly teaches you about adaptability and transformation. What is transforming within you right now? How can you bring more joy and lightness of being into your life? What blockages within you are preventing clear insight?
As your spirit animal, Dragonfly reveals that you are a person who is a mystic at heart.
Element: Water/Air
PANTHER
Panther symbolizes:
Panther is a powerful and majestic ally of the night who is here to help you through a period of change and transition. Are you in denial of your personal gifts? Is your anger locked away deep inside? Do you struggle with boundaries in everyday life? How are you giving away your power? These are all questions Panther asks you to reflect on. As the sleek, elegant, and mighty mistress of the darkness, Panther will help you work with your Shadow Self and regain access to the power hidden deep within you.
As your spirit animal, Panther reveals that you are a person who is born to be a leader and has strong intuitive prowess.
