Spirit Animals are the spirit of an animal based on its physical characteristics and behaviour. They have been called many names in different cultures, such as totem,- power,- or animal guides. You might find them around you as they choose to help you or offer their insight, guidance, power, protection or wisdom. Some will accompany you through your whole life, while some may just pop into your life to help you out in a situation. Your spirit animal may offer their skills along your life path, or it may simply reflect your own personality.
