Black cats weren't always bad luck. Familiar spirits from European folklore are believed to be shape-shifting companions to witches. These spirits are said to possess extraordinary abilities and magical powers. Indigenous American groups shared a similar ideology, that of the Totem Animal: a sacred beast to be revered and cared for. Throughout history, animals have taken a sacred place in our ecosystems and societies — more so than we as a society realize.
A spirit animal is a combination of different cultures. Essentially, a spirit animal is one that you feel a strong emotional, psychical, and spiritual empathy with. A special connection. Animals are more like us than we think. These animals can symbolize your inner life, hopes, and motivations, or inspire a deeper understanding of the life around you.
