Animals Throughout History
Many animals play an important role in our lives, both physically and spiritually. Each represents a teaching or power, and their individual characteristics influence us in our daily lives. These beliefs began in medieval times, and still exist in many cultures today.
In times of crisis or emotional stress, there are animal figures that can offer us guidance. These messages will come to us in animal form, and would be unfamiliar to cross our paths in our everyday life. They may appear to us physically, or in dreams, but their existence carries a message or warning, and should not be ignored. Some common examples are listed below.
