One of the most popular elements of Native American symbolism is the role of animal spirit guides – animals that represent parts of ourselves and can teach us to integrate, heal and develop both our weaknesses and our strengths.
Most Native American tribes believe that everyone is born with a connection to one or more (usually many more) animal guides. Animal guides are spirit guides that are animals. They may be personal symbols that represent the qualities of an animal. The characteristics of our animal guides are qualities that we possess or that we need to learn from in our lives.
Yesterday, I had the first incorporation of an indian spirit during the Umbanda ceremony. Everytime I was in one ceremony of the indian spirits, I felt the change of energy and the power of the ritual song and lyrics, but yesterday I strongly felt the present of the indina spirit. The chief indian spirit (incorporated by the main medium), asked me if I wanted to try to incorporate the spirit, and I accepted the challenge. I tried to let it go, and for the first time I incorporated the indian spirit...I was concious 100%, heard everthing that was going on, but since it was my first time, I was quiet and felt several adjustments on my aura during these 2 hours. I also saw the image of a wolf. I guess that this is a symbol that the spirits showed me. Talking with a greek friend that understands these symbols, she orientated me to look after the animal spirits symbol, so I started to look around and I liked this
text. A wolf as Transformation. I copy here:
Transformation has always been the essence of my life. Transformation is about purification. It is impurities that limit the soul’s growth. Purification transforms the soul into a glowing light body. This is my goal in life. My power animal the wolf helps me in my transformation.
Also a term I found:
Wolf – Wolf is the animal guide of true teachers. Wolves are connected to the moon and feminine energy. They are predatory and define themselves in relation to other people of their “pack” (even a “lone wolf” is defined by her or his distance from the pack). Like Dog totem, Wolf is loyal to family and people they consider their own.
{Well, thinking on these, I always was a different guy, always ahead from others, teaching is also part of me, and loyal to my people...}
Because the Moon rules psychic perception, Wolf people should work on learning to trust their intuition and psychic urges, to listen for the still small voice within. {I always followed my intuition even when reason which is a strong element inside me, but still is difficult to do that...}
The communal nature of Wolf's culture and hunting helps us to learn to cooperate to achieve a goal. Wolf people make good "team players" and are fiercely loyal to those they consider part of their pack. They often have strong leadership qualities, however they must often learn to balance their tendency for "social dominancing." As a predator, Wolf culls the sick and weak of the herd. Wolves are often quick to scent when a situation is "sick," and will work to change it. It is important that they learn to lead the situation gently, and without tearing others apart, or the pack may turn on them.{well, being the owner of my company, I am leading my employees with such a way... }
