Channeling Our Spirit Animals (Poetry)

Everyone has at least one. A spirit animal is characterized as a teacher or messenger that comes in the form of an animal and has a personal connection to us as individuals. Other names might be animal guides, spirit helpers, power animals, or animal helpers... You can have many spirit animals throughout your lifetime.
