willow....
finding your spirit guides...some people find their totem animal by pulling a card from a deck of cards portaying totemic animals (such as the shamanic medicine cards or a deck of celtic animal cards).maybe the best way is to try and find someone qualified to guide you through it...but of course it can be done by yourself. its more personal that way any way. heres some links that might help you..

I just started reading from theladyoftheearth web site and have already found alot of info. I do believe that the deer may be a power animal for me since they are around me alot and do look for me. I know they like the apples that I feed them but I believe that it is more than just that. I am also wondering about Hagrid. He was around again this afternoon watching me as I walked the trails in my woods. I'll look at the websites you suggested. Thanks for your help. Willow

Here I am again. I have spent alot of time tonight looking at the websites. They are really informative and I hope that I can learn alot. I am pretty sure that the deer is one of my power animals and also the dog. I have always had dogs, have two now and I communicate with them all the time. They are truly my best and sometimes only friends. I don't think that I can become a shaman or a witch, although I would like to. I will have to be content and accept who I am and try to channel love and light from my being. Hope to hear from you again. It has been enlightening to hear from you. Willow

happy to be of service im no expert really, ive been reading about this for about a year. but ive had some intense experiences with it...a few months ago i spent a few days randomly calling out "psychicly" for my animal spirits to appear. erm, some people might call it praying. whatever..anyway..then i had this dream with an owl and a lizard. it was so real...the feelings i had when i saw them it was like i was meeting some very old dear friends or guardians. i dunno. but thats why i think the owl and the lizard are my main totems. cya

This evening I went out to my circle and lite some candles. It is really dark out there in the woods. I meditated, gave honor to the four directions, even sang and danced a little. Hagrid flew over and called out. So maybe an owl is also my power animal. I am sure the deer are. I have had deer born, grow up and die here. Even conceived here (I saw them doing it once) Right now I have a mama deer and two babies that were born last spring that come everyday. I usually have apples for them but today I didn't so I just talked to them. I think they understood. One of the babies injured it's eye and now it looks like a pink marble. Named it oneeye, the other is twoeye. My dogs are really important to me too and they are my best friends. Found alot of info on the websites you suggested. boywonder is right - animals never moan or complain, they just love. They teach the inner spirit of humans if you are open to them. Thanks again eurphoric, you are an inspiration. Willow

Hagrid hasn't been around for a few days now. I don't know where he could be but I did a smudging the night before last and asked that he come back safe. Tomorrow is the solstice and the sun is in capricorn at 4:42 am PST, that's my sign so I hope that is means good luck. I'll visit my circle tomorrow night and do another smudging. I'll say hi to you then, see if you get the vibes. Happy solstice, may Gaia guide your spirit. Willow
