Who am I? I am still trying to figure this out.

Where am I going? The path is hidden to me.

What is my spirit animal? It has yet to reveal itself to me.

Spirit animals can be ridiculous. After a year of working with him, I'm only just now starting to see my Wolf qualities. I've also tried working with: Frog, Rabbit, Hawk, Raven, Rooster, Snake, Fox, and Coyote.

This is interesting to me. I had always thought that the spirit animal chose you. Not the other way around. After working with all the different spirit animals which one do you identify with the most?

Well, I get the last part of my pen name from Wolf: Nightwolf. And I'm planning on getting a Wolf tattoo. Most recently (I'm actually about to make a post about this), I've been working with Lynx. I'd say it's somewhere between those two. Wolf will always be there for me, Lynx may or may not. On occasion Frog shows up too. It's just a matter of what's needed at the moment. Since real TOTEM animals aren't something that's an inherent part of my path, I like to think of these more as animal spirits or just energies that take the form as animals. After all (for most Wiccans), symbols are the means through which the Goddess communicates. Those can be animals, runes, sticks, or stones. And I think my animal companions are all mostly symbols that take on a very physical form when I need them.

Hope that helped!

Thank you! It gives me another way to look at things. So along with having one or two 'totem animals' to guide you on your meditations; you see the animal energies as bringing different messages from the lord and lady. Each animal brings with it a different message.

i always thought they chose you, too :) forever now, vultures have been following me around and i always end up running into them, so i took it as a sign. i'd basically just see what animal(s) keep showing up in your life, dreams, etc. i'd check out the totem_animals community too :)

Thanks for the site rec. I will check it out. It seems that Cats, Rabbits, and Blackbirds (Ravens) appear most in my life. I will check these out.

Blackbird would be my guess. All the Blackbirds I know are big time paranormal-stuff fans.

LOL! That sounds like me alright!
