VerdeICe Posted March 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I do like a good story. And its fun to dream, even if things like this are rationally impossible. Recently at school I watched someone carve a wolf. The class asked why, and the man said it was because it was his spirit animal. I wondered then what my animal would be. For whatever reason I thought back to a time when I was a real little kid. I woke up in the middle of the night for no reason and stared at the ceiling for a long period of time. I remember at some point I eventually looked over the edge of my bed and saw a cobra slithering toward me from the darkness. It stopped at my bed and stared at me. It did that snake thing with it tongue. It then kind became a part of the darkness of the room. I wonder if that was my spirit animal. Then again it could have just been a real snake and I am lucky to be alive. What do any of you believers of the strange think of spiritual snakes? What would a situation like this represent?

Piney Posted March 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A "spirit animal' is not necessarily anything you envision. Or even a Guardian Spirit, but a "aspect". Something you share traits with. My "aspect" is a panther. But that isn't my guardian spirit. Nor my Gens (Clan) totem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted April 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Geez...if that's how you know your spirit animal, then mine's the giant phantom shadow spider that dissipates when you look at it. I was hoping for the hummingbird. When I really think about it...it's probably the crow. Edited April 1, 2018 by ChaosRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janejackson Posted April 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2018 As far as i know, the most effective way of finding out your spirit animal is through meditation or dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiemzul Posted September 18, 2018 #22 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The quest to find ones spirit animal is a very complex and deep process. Its not a process of aspects that fit you with an animal at all. Dreams, meditation, are but one way to find your spirit animal. Vision quests are usually the fastest way to find your spirit animal but that usually involves psychotropic drugs in order to induce a semi lucid dreaming state, it also can be dangerous for the person whom is undergoing the quest too. Snakes can be a spirit animal. How ever a spirit animal is a guide. it can protect, convey messages, and most commonly is used as a guide through spiritual journey. Quote I woke up in the middle of the night for no reason and stared at the ceiling for a long period of time. I remember at some point I eventually looked over the edge of my bed and saw a cobra slithering toward me from the darkness. It stopped at my bed and stared at me. It did that snake thing with it tongue. It then kind became a part of the darkness of the room. " In this instance it is quite hard to discern anything there is not enough information given by your state of mind, plus your where wondering about your spirit animal would be and thought to your childhood. This vision could simple be a fear of snakes from when your where a child. It could be perhaps a memory trying to make its way back that you forgot as a child or blocked out. Lastly with all that being said it very well could be your spirit animal, but i think you need to try to interact with said snake in your dreams to have a better understanding of what this snake means to you. My spirit animal for instance was a wolf for years that was how it came to me, but later found out that my spirit animal is that of a shape shifting animal. It can be what ever animal it chooses to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Piney, what he said raised my eyebrows as I would have been surprised if they had used drugs to achieve any state, and there are other means to do so which are much more reliable. Tough to do on a weekend, though, maybe, on a "retreat" for 1500 bucks or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why children didn't know of their existence until after they were "thrown into" one. It's more about helping yourself then looking for help. Guardian Spirits are "Thought Forms" created by the seeker from their own aspects if they actually receive one and many don't.
