The Meaning of Animal Spirits

What are Animal Spirits?

In many indigenous and spiritual traditions around the world, animals are seen as more than physical beings. They carry an archetypal energy — a spiritual quality that has been recognised and honoured by humans for thousands of years. Animal Spirits are the spiritual essences of animals. They represent universal forces and qualities that are also present in us humans: the courage of the lion, the wisdom of the owl, the adaptability of the chameleon.
