Spirit Animals

[Pelin]

Do you have a spirit animal? How do we find out/choose a spirit animal? How does it help us anyways?

At the beginning of this year I changed my job and my trainer who helps me get used to the workplace has come up with a spirit animal for our group: ewe. We are a group of five females. She chose it out of the stories we wrote and the adjectives we came up with. Soon enough it resonated with us. But for myself, I found it difficult to find a spirit animal that resonates with my individuality. There are some websites but I couldn't find one that satisfied me. I also heard that some people connect to their spirit animals during meditation, I wonder how. If you know any books or articles that talk about spirit animals please share with me so I can dig it deeper
