Spirit Animal

One time, not too long ago a group of friends, quite bluntly, asked me what my spirit animal was.  I was just like "lolwut".  What is a spirit animal?  How do you figure out what your spirit animal is?  I asked them what they meant and they explained.  You just pick one, it is up to you.  You just search your soul and come up with what you think you should be.  I asked them what they chose and the three I remember were owl, phoenix and fox.  Phoenix isn't even a real animal but apparently mythical creatures count.  I think its kind of a cop-out.  Otherwise I would have picked "dragon" or "caveman" or "cheetah".  I still don't really understand what a spirit animal is or how it should be decided or what it ultimately means but I did end up picking one.  I hate being left out of all the fun, progressive things my friends come up with.  The animal I picked was the Arctic Wolf.  The white wolf is a rare and powerful creature, who hunts with cunning and is a master of his environment.  I can dig that.  Here are some other similarities and spiritual connections I have with the wolf.

-We are both creatures of the night.

-We both hunt with razor sharp intuition.

-We are both white.

-We both are part of packs but operate alone.

-We both have eyes that seem as if they pierce the soul.

-We both are residents of North America.

-God knows both of us by name.

-We both are pretty good-looking

-We were both raised by other wolves (This last one is a joke)

I for one feel much better after the spiritual journey I went on.  I am more connected with my natural side and I now have the confidence of both a man and a wolf.  The next full moon will forever light my heart.
