animal guide

Shamanic beast helper

An animal guide is a spirit animal believed to offer protection, wisdom, or insight to a person, especially in Indigenous and New Age spiritual traditions.

The animal may appear in dreams, visions, or meditation, or simply resonate deeply with someone's identity.

Also called a spirit guide, power animal, or totem: She felt the owl was her animal guide.
