Finding Your Inner Animal


The Wolf…The teacher, the guardian of the Tribe.
The protector of women.


Not every Therianthrope is Wolf (Lycanthropy). I have heard of werefoxes, wereeagles, wererabbits, etc. Basically, any animal in existence can possibly be your inner animal (Otherkin believe that your were animal is of a mythical creature such as a Dragon or Unicorn). But the question is not how many animals can be considered as another part of someone, but what is "your" were animal? This is not always an easy question to answer. Some know right away (myself), others perform research on multiple animals they are drawn to, and some even have reacquiring dreams of their animal spirit. Whatever the case may be, please do not take this step lightly. 

If your not sure what your animal may be, take time to reflect upon yourself. What animal matches your personality? What characteristics do you possess? Are there any senses that are more heightened than the others? Do you dream of a certain animal on a regular basis? I highly suggest researching any animal that you may think is your animal. Visit this link http://www.whats-your-sign.com/animal-totems.html to learn more about animal symbolism (VERY HELPFUL!!!) and http://www.wolfcenter.org/wolf-behavior.aspx if your animal is a wolf like mine (behaviors of wolfs, which is also very helpful!) I have also taken online quizzes to see if the Wolf was my animal spirit. Mind you, not every online test is accurate. Just like a daily horoscope; Some days that horoscope will be dead on, while other days you wonder if your parents really told you the right date of your birth.
 
Either way, take multiple quizzes online (not just one). I started with 10 quizzes and ended up with 9 different options (wolf came up twice). But I didn't stop there. Until I got at least 5 of the same animal, I wasn't satisfied. Use multiple methods to find your Animal spirit. Meditation to find your spirit guide is a great start, too. There are numerous guided meditations you can find on YouTube about "Finding your Animal Spirit", or "Finding your Spirit Guide". 

There are resources out there. Take advantage of them!! The possibilities are endless...
