When certain animals cross our paths they want to give a certain message.
Several Native American tribes believed that each animal held it’s own message and piece of information.
Animals are conscious, sentient beings and it is important that we treat all living creatures with the same dignity and respect that we expect.
The ancients have always regarded animals as being sacred and their behavior was often used as clues and signs at to what Mother Earth might be up to.
By watching the behaviour of animals, we can get a better understanding of the energy around us and a deeper insight into intuitive messages and signs.
Just like we have spirit guides, we also have spirit animals. Often spirit animals will come into our lives to give us a message or to teach us something about our own ability and strength.
Sometimes an animal will come into our lives for a brief period of time as a way to signal us as to something that we need to pay attention to.
