Creature Features of You …
Whaddaya mean you have no idea what we’re talking about?! Then let us explain! No dawdling now, come along for a shallow dive into the concept of “spiritus animalus” …
Well then, Pulp Animal Lovers, you know who you are. But, do you really?! Is your special affinity with goldfish puzzling you? Are the way penguins waddle and sleep totally relatable to you, but you don’t know why?!
Let us tell you what we know and maybe things will start to make sense…
We’ll start with a quote:
“The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.” – Hippocrates
Hippocrates, old time philosopher and physician, said it well. We are all the same in spirit, just inhabiting in different bodies. Yup, the whole idea of the spirit animal is that we humans can relate to that Antarctic waddling penguin - and it isn’t actually that weird. Believe!
The thing about this concept is that all you need to consider is that the spirit animal is one you've felt drawn to or had repeated encounters with. Think about your experiences with animals throughout your life, consider dreams you've had …
Each animal's message will be unique to you. Once identified, these animals you feel connected spiritually with are said to provide guidance, protection, insight, and self-discovery!
But sacred animals aren’t a particularly new idea. Spirit animals have been part of many ancient religions, tribes, and spiritual traditions.
For example, Ancient Native American and African cultures believed in the spirit energy of animals. Hunters and warriors praised and prayed to certain animals for bravery and victory in battle.
Anthropologists believe ancient cave paintings from Neolithic times found in France were produced as prayers or thanks to animal deities.
