The Lessons of the Nine Fyglia Written by: Malulani jael MacMurray, called MJ, known by the sign of the wolf's paw print
There are nine spirit animals. Nine fyglia that are echoes of your soul in the natural world. When you take a companion, your spirit guide enters that companion for the time you are together. Their soul is just as much a part of you as you are of them.
When you are ready for a new companion, the soul goes with you. It is the the same; it is also different because each animal is different. You will find that in time, you will reflect each other like mirrors.
My spirit animal is the wolf. I work best with wolves and dogs. Wolves are loyal and know how to work in a pack or a group. I have learned from the wolf how to stand my ground even when I am afraid. I've learned when to win and when to lose.
Dire wolf is an independent hunter that teaches us to stick to the long trail and to endure.
There is Dire Rat. Rats teach us to pay attention to details and to not overlook small things. One rat might not be much of a threat to a larger animal. But when you get enough rats together, you can defeat a nation.
Dire Boars teach us to be fierce when there is no other way out but to fight. The boar teaches us to be strong warriors.
Brown Bear knows a lot about the plants in the forest. Her knowledge of roots and berries is almost like that of a Healer. Bear teaches us gentle strength and how to look after ourselves.
Dire Badger teaches us to take action fast when we need to. She teaches us to use our anger to fight for ourselves and to focus on one thing with passion.
Hawk teaches us to look at the whole big picture from far off so that we can see where the details are important. Also, hawks teach us to take care of our families.
Panthers teach us that sometimes we need to walk alone. They also teach us how to strike when the time is right and to not waste our strength when it's not a good hunt. The big cats teach us how to keep a balance between waiting and watching and taking action.
Giant Spiders teach patient waiting as the way to hunt. Their webs remind us that we are all connected to each other and when we make choices, we affect everyone around us, even those we don't see.
