Spirit Animal

Migrated topic.
Have you considered conjuring up a shaman or Ascended Master while in a lucid dream and asking him/her? I can think of no better place to ask than in Dreamtime! :)
 
I have a few that come to me with ayahuasca. One is an owl..another looks like an eagle..butterflies also. I never like tried to meet them though. They just show up.

Few weeks ago I had a coyotee come to me and get me to follow him out of me body into some spirit world..

do you think it's possible for a spirit animal to show up during a mushie trip?

Sure why not? I think olympus mon said something about the mazatec shaman he was taking mushrooms with having pet birds(actaul physical birds) that were like spirit animals or something..
 
Mine are an owl and a stag, I met them during a drumming ceremony.

I find funny how people always have pretty animals as spirit helpers, I never heard of someone having a rat spirit helper :lol:
 
I think it's more subconscious, though may be aesthetic. But many people claim that the animal chooses them. There's an interesting site on a modern form of ancient arts that included theriomorphic approaches towards ecstatic states, but it is grounded in alot of physical work as well as spiritual and mental. The physical techniques are an often overlooked approach, since it seems to be common that many people dissociate from the physical self and generally do not feel comfortable in their own skin. If you want to look more into it, follow the link below. The term somafera translates to 'body wild'.

Somafera - the body wild
 
I've often wondered about this.
During my pharma journeys I usually see a snake or dark cat like animal (jaguar maybe) Once I was the snake and the jaguar at me, I was then the jaguar, but I still felt snake-like.
I have also seen dogs, and cats (I really dislike cats so I thought that was weird) I have also seen a peacock/guinea fowl. Maybe they are all my spirit animals? Or maybe they are just what I see when I take psychedelics.

I don't feel like any of them have had any deep connection that made me go "Oh so that's my spirit animal" Who knows, maybe mine is still out there somewhere roaming the spirit world looking for me?

Peace
 
On smoked DMT, I've met anacondas, lions, horses, and eagles, but that's just off the top of my head. I don't know if any of these would be considered my "power animal" though, as I'm really not sure what constitutes one or its importance.
 
From my experience (purely subjective!) animal guides come to you, rather than the other way round. Plus, it seems that you may have many different animal guides opposed to just one or two, that may come to you at various times to help with whatever particular area of life is relevant - while at the same time, they also seem to serve as representations of the different parts of your self. So, I guess there's a type of internal/external synergy going on.

Having said that, perhaps by voicing your intention to connect with them - via work with plant teachers and meditation etc you open yourself up to connecting with them, sooner or later.
 
Perfect answer Drob. I might add that you can just stay open and mindful of the possibility of meeting animal and plant spirit guides of the lower realms as well as teachers from the middle and upper worlds. Apparently drum journeying works well for meeting animal totems. You may also want to check out Zuni fetishism and see what you're drawn to.
 
Today a wolf came to me in a vision and then I was told to follow the wolf for guidance. Quite the experience. It was a crazy bond because I got to feel.what the wolf was feeling - it's hunger, feelings, and even senses of smell and vions of hunting for pray. I believe that this animal has been stalking me for a while now, before choosing to show its self.
