What is Animal Medicine?
Animal Medicine empowers us by calling on the wisdom and strength of animal spirit allies for profound healing and guidance. These spirits are integral to many native traditions across both the US and Europe. Throughout history, animal spirits have consistently shaped our spiritual journeys. From Odin’s Ravens to Hecate’s Black Hounds, Lilith’s Serpents, Oshun’s Peacocks, and the Polar Bears revered by the Inuit and Cree peoples, animals have always been our trusted allies. They have much to teach us, and we can harness their power to enrich our lives.
Finding your Animal Guides
We are all born under a unique animal, often known as our birth animal guide, who guides us during every step of our lives as a whole – both mundane and spiritual. As we evolve, we may encounter additional animal spirit guides that can support us in various aspects of our lives, projects, and personal development. Cultivating a bond with animal guides can be a transformative experience. You unlock incredible potential by engaging with Power animals, shadow animals, animal messengers, and beyond. There is a good chance you already have animal allies working with you without your knowledge.
Animal guides do not just provide healing and wisdom; they can be powerful protectors and teachers, and even help us unlock our unique talents in life. Having a bond with a spirit ally is a powerful experience, and you know that no matter what, you are never alone!
What is Animal Medicine?
Raven’s “Animal Medicine” session facilitates the establishment of a profound connection with an animal spirit guide, tailored to address a specific issue or challenge that participants may encounter, thereby unlocking essential guidance and wisdom for their journey. These sessions are conducted in a ceremonial environment, fostering a sacred space that allows for a confident exploration of the relationship with the animal spirit ally that emerges to assist them. Under Raven’s guidance, individuals will thoroughly examine their aspirations alongside the animal that has chosen to engage with them.
We will investigate the distinctive medicine attributed to your animal and discuss effective ways to integrate them into your spiritual practice. Participants will acquire the skills necessary to create an altar that honors the animal, establish a profound connection through a shamanic journey, and proficiently interpret the messages conveyed by the animal. Upon conclusion of this session, participants will possess all the requisite tools to continue fostering a relationship with this animal ally.
What is an Animal Spirit Team Building Session?
An animal team-building session consists of three distinct sessions. During these sessions, participants will encounter various animal spirits that offer to collaborate on different facets of their lives. Typically, this process involves the identification of your birth animal, your animal protector, an animal that will assist you in exploring your spiritual journey, and an animal spirit that aims to engage with you in a more practical aspect of your existence. These sessions are designed to help you establish a comprehensive team that you can call upon for assistance, guidance, protection, and more.
This process unfolds over three sessions, with each one requiring individual booking. In the initial session, we will engage in discussions surrounding your goals and any animal spirits you may already be connected with. Raven will facilitate the identification of a group of animal spirits that may be eager to collaborate with you. Following this, you will participate in a shamanic journey to ascertain the manner in which these animals wish to engage with you. Typically, you will conclude this session with instructions on how to create an honoring altar for your animal spirits and how to commence building relationships with these allies.
In the second session, which usually takes place four weeks subsequent to the first, we will review your progress and ascertain the roles that these animals will serve within your spirit team. During this meeting, you will uncover your birth animal along with an additional animal guide that may wish to collaborate with you. Once more, you will return home to your animal spirit ally altar to work with these new allies for approximately four weeks.
In your concluding session, you will discover yet another animal ally, and we will discuss methods for working with the team you have assembled to enhance and expand your practice.
Each session can be scheduled at your convenience, with activities required at home between sessions. This may mark the commencement of a profound journey with animal spirit allies for you, fostering a sense of confidence in exploring the deeper realms of your spirituality.
