I have not met an animal guide as yet but I do love animals Lucy or as you guys know her as Lula-Bell with her long legs and graceful speed, her odd ears that do not match and her tricolor short coat she is my familiar and we are very close. I love wolves their independence and their loyalty to each other and the cold wet nose when you least expect it. I love deer, cats what the heck all animals no exceptions so I must have an animal guide we just haven’t hooked up yet.

I love cats. We have two - a white cat who is 14 and a black cat who is about 5. They both love attention all the time. When I type on the computer, the black cat is usually in my lap trying to bat my fingers. When I am getting ready in the morning the white cat is usually twisting himself around me vying for attention. I love owls too. I collect owl prints and owl statues. So if I have an animal guide, I would say it is an owl. I haven't been told yet, so I don't know what my animal guide is.

LOL Maybe that is my Totem. Too funny. I love the moon and everything it stands for, which is part of the reason I chose Seleena as my witchy name. Hmm..... You have given me food for thought my friend. I do believe you have answered my question.

I recently was merged with a protective spirit in a wonderously empowering event on Glastonbury Tor... (i will type up this story and perhaps put it in the Temple or BOS) The creature I was merged with was a Male Lion, the King of his Pride.... he is my strength and guardian, and he will go and fight things before I have to, and he sure knows how to do things and make himself appear even if I do not!!!
Any light on my big cat???
blessings, lilyfae xx

I love ALL animals including snakes and insects..I have a fear of spiders but i will try not to harm one because of my fear, sadly i have to admit i have flushed the odd very large one down the drain and up the hoover! ... I too love cats and the panther is my favorite within the wilderness...Also i have a very soft spot for birds especially Ravens....Im very lucky with my job as i work in an animal park and get to sit with the deer and stag, i have an understanding with 'Sir' himself, i take care of him and he will offer his antlers to me when they drop off in the spring ;D...... Iv tried to meditate upon what my totem may be and once i saw whilst cloud scurrying a roe, wolf and a hare...I must not forget that i also love dragons and often see them within the clouds, but then who doesnt...Lol... Would be interesting to find out what my animal guide is and i hope that it is not too long before i am blessed with meeting such a creature....V..xx..

Through a vision, I just received thanks to SW, my totem is the Snowy Owl. I feel so loved and special. It just popped into my head with a stream of white comforting light. Now I am dreaming during the day at work. scary scary people!!!!

Although I love cats and black birds such as crows and ravens, I have always felt very close to wolves myself, and have even found myself in the otherworld running in the form of a gray wolf. Whether this is a true seeming or not I don't know.

From what I know you, it would make sense. You are definately a guide and skilled in protection. You must be intelligent, you past your exams and your instincts are good - you hang with us. Maybe that isn't good. Some people would think you are crazy. On the other hand so are we. ;D ;D
I often "see" you as a big black bird, like an eagle or hawk. Just thought I would throw that out to you.

That's a good possibility Seleena, I have dreamed of flying (Or gliding) with nothing in my vision but the landscape below me. Definitely something to give some thought to, thanks!

I don't know this one although I have meditated on it long and hard over many years. Sometimes I see myself as a cat, although I think that comes from being a woman and loving them. I have a spirit cat which has followed me for most of my life and a cat I used to live with would appear in my dreams and visions . Sometimes I feel as a bird but not very strongly. I'm happiest in the water and perhaps my other spirit is a fish... I've just not found an animal representation of myself that really rings true.
Rather than an animal, I have always felt more like a wind, or a current of some sort, like a river. My brother has often described me as a storm - (in a good way, I hasten to add - we're very close and we both love storms!). I like the notion of a storm as a good storm contains all the elements and is like a spirit in itself, although I somehow doubt that one can have a wind as a guide!!!
I guess I'm still waiting for my spirit shape to come to me.
blessings all, P

Too liker persephone I have an iffinity with cats and love their power and kindness and never yet met a cat given time I have not got along with and trust their judgement with people, especially blue he is aloof and he is my familiar as often typing he come and jpin in!
I love storms too persephone and feel that I am both ying and yang life and death the creator the destroyer. (now watches her friends try and slip away unoticed ;D )
I do not know what I am the only way I have ever seen myself is the phoenix. Especially when I have emerged from a period of 'burning'. Although the phoenix is a bird with great reknown within mythology it is not a great figuring in the craft (at least as I have found outside harry potter) So darling SW my furry four legged friend what does that say?
