The wisdom and power of the animal kingdom plays a central role in shamanistic and many native religions. As global consciousness grows, more and more people are becoming interested in the concept of totem animals, power animals and animal guides, and more people are learning to tap into the wisdom of the animal kingdom in this way. But how can you identify your own power animal, and what do you do once you know who it is?

Your Power Animal is Not Your Pet

Power animals are not the same as your much loved pets. You might have a cat you adore, and you may well have a deep psychic bond with your cat, but that’s a different spiritual role to a power animal. A favorite pet is more akin to a “familiar” and is part of your soul group in this incarnation. Your power animal is not an animal chosen by you either, so it won’t necessarily be the animal you want it to be. They choose us, not the other way round.

How to Identify Your Power Animal

There are a variety of ways of identifying which animal is your power animal. You may have more than one, but to begin with it’s best to focus on the main one. A shaman can help you discover your power animal quickly; if you’re experienced in meditation you may also be able to meditate with the specific purpose of identifying your power animal.

However, if neither of those options apply to you, don’t despair. Power animals try to contact us in a number of ways and if you pay attention, sooner or later you will get the message.

First, think about animals which fascinate you. Is there an animal you’ve always wanted to see, one which you learned a lot about as a child? If you could start anywhere in a zoo, where would you head first? You may sense that you are drawn to a particular animal for no rational reason, and this could be important. Remember that although we use the term “animal”, a power animal could be any kind of creature, whether an animal, a bird, an insect, a reptile or even a mythological creature.
