It is said that we, as human beings, possess at least one Spirit Animal or totem, in our lifetime that serves as our personal protector, guide, helper and companion.

The Spirit Animal is thought to lend its wisdom, attributes, and instincts to us in times of need. The phrase “Spirit Animal” refers to the shamanic idea that certain animals (or tutelary spirits) can physically and psychologically empower us. An animal spirit is believed to be a supernatural power that embodies, or conveys influence empowering a person with the traits of the animal. They strove to build strong relationships with animal archetypes as a way of broadening the human experience with the natural world.Ī spirit animal is the belief based on the spiritual concept of the universe, and all-natural objects within the universe, has souls and spirits. Spiritual seekers throughout history recorded their interactions with animal energies. Its meaning deepens our personal connection to our physical, mental and spiritual world and it offers influential insights into our subconscious mind. I jokingly used to refer to my coats as my spirit animals.Īfter a recent profoundly personal journey with a Shaman in Santa Fe, I discovered that the true meaning of a spirit animal is much deeper and much more than just generic animal symbolism. That’s how I started my collection of furs, being a human mannequin.
MORE THAN ONE SPIRIT ANIMAL FREE
I spent most of my free time in the garment district allowing my body to be poked and measured in order to have a shot of purchasing the fur samples after the buying season was over. Years ago while living and studying in New York I discovered I was the perfect size for designers who were trying to sell their fur creations to department store buyers. Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.
