What your Spirit Animal means

Werewolf and Dragon

Werewolf

When Werewolf Spirit Animal is working with you, you may feel as if your resolve is being tested. If deeply suppressed emotions are suddenly surging to the surface, if you are feeling pulled in new directions by instincts and intuition that you don’t fully understand or if you feel like you are on the verge of losing control of your calm, intellectual side, Werewolf Spirit Animal may be working with you.

When Werewolf Spirit Animal is guiding you, remember the goal is always integration. There is no need to sacrifice the proverbial “Wolf” in order to save the human side of your nature. Werewolf Spirit Animal’s primal howl may be calling you back to your roots in order to help you heal emotions and prepare for a cycle in which you need to express your power in new ways.

Werewolf Spirit Animal may play on your emotions but the lesson is usually one of learning moderation by first going to extremes. This is an important time to learn to find the balance between your instinctive, intuitive nature and also your logical, civilized side.


Dragon

Dragon Spirit is drawn to people of intellect, dignity, contagious enthusiasm and authority. Dragons guide such individuals toward brilliance and, indeed, enlightenment. In this setting your Dragon Spirit Animal teaches you to roar – finding your voice, being heard and truly understood.

Dragon is a rare and powerful Spirit Animal, and you may find yourself quite intimidated by this creature upon initial introductions. There is no question that Dragon is worthy of your respect and honor, but She comes to you with good cause. Figuring out that purpose, however, can prove difficult. Dragon Spirits do not give up secrets easily – it’s part of the challenge. The greater the effort the greater the rewards.
The type of Dragon spirit that you encounter may give you a clue:
Fire Dragons – bring you lessons of self-mastery, creativity, mental keenness, alchemical transformation and leadership.
Water Dragons – focus on what drives the ship of your life – be ready to put down unhealthy patterns and sail toward your fate.
Earth Dragons – stabilizes and provides the key for sustaining your needs.
Air Dragons – wrap you safely in his/her grasp and flies high. From here you gain greater perspectives personally and globally, untroubled by the winds of change.
In Asian cultures – wood and metal are included as elements.
In modern gaming – “elements” such as ice, lightening, and speed are coined ‘elements’ and ascribed as ‘types’ to Dragons.
As in the legends of St. George and St. Margaret of Antioch (both Dragon slayers), Dragons represent the Devil. Spirit Animals always appear with your highest and best good in mind. Sometimes, that highest and best good can mean that you must face and ‘slay’ the Dragon inside yourself (addiction in any form, violence or rage issues, confidence and self-worth challenges, etc.). Or, conversely, the Dragon Spirit Animal may come when it’s time to face and ‘slay’ a ‘Devil’ who is doing harm to you and/or your loved ones, community, hearth and home, pets, etc.
