Animal Spirit Guides/ASGs

the animal spirits teach different things. the wolf for example, teaches the need to be part of a family. the ox/bison/buffalo teaches endurance, and the frog symbolizes the spreading of your legacy.

these are the only ones i know, however. regardless, feel free to post other animal guides or specify/correct me on any.

I don't think you would need correcting as an animal can mean many things to different people. In my experience they keep teaching you for a long time, it's not like a day lesson, short and simple then it's over. There seems to be a lot of meaning that unfolds itself over time with these animals.

My spirit guide is a small green garter snake. While I cannot find much on that specific snake, I have found plenty on snakes in general.

Snake spirit guides are a sign of a major transition. Makes sense since I went from Christianity to Wicca (NOT Christian Wicca, just Wicca).

The way a snake sheds its skin is a symbol of rebirth and fertility. I have 3 kids. Enough said.

They are also a sign of healing from many different cultures. In the Bible (Numbers 21:8-9) it says "The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived." Snakes entwined the staffs both of Hermes (the caduceus) and of Asclepius, where a single snake entwined the rough staff. From this, we get the symbol seen on most every ambulance in America representing the practice of medicine. While healing magick is not my strongest gift, it is one I find myself practicing more and more.

is there any animal i would ask for help with seperating from the family?

FaceOfBo, i believe it is called a grass snake, unless It told you otherwise.

and felix, maybe a polar bear..?
