WC ~ (AMAZON) Animal Spirit Life Guide

(Skip to bottom for requirements) There are 4 types of animal guides: the Messenger guide, the Shadow guide, the Journey guide and the Life guide (spirit guide).

The messenger guide comes quickly into your life, then leaves once the message is understood.

The shadow guide invades you with fear with the purpose of teaching you a lesson you have not learned from repeated mistakes.

The journey guide appears at the fork in the road of your life, to help guide you into making the right decision, down the right path.

And the life guide is your spirit guide, in that it remains with you throughout life and is a reflection of your true, inner-spiritual self. You may have more than one life guide and new ones may come during an unexpected time. Usually a life guide does not move away or disappear but remains an integral part of your life, however, there are instances when a particular life guide is no longer needed and is replaced with a new one. Its powers are always there for you and serve as a constant reminder of your inner powers and oneness with nature. A life guide will often call upon other animal guides found within its domain to assist in giving you special messages from time to time.

You do not choose a Spirit Guide as your personal spirit guide. The Spirit chooses you and they decide to whom they will reveal themselves and make their friend. Do not fall into the trap of saying, "Gosh, I think the wolf is a smart, good looking and powerful animal, so the wolf will become my animal guide." It does not work this way.

Each animal has its own medicine which is unique to that specific creature as gifted by the Great Mystery and its spirit cannot be chosen like the color of your new car. Discovering who your animal guides are is a process of paying attention to the spirits around you and following the signs. It is a process of developing your inner knowledge and spiritual understanding. What happens if you want an animal spirit so bad you can taste it (not literally) and one has not come to you? First, pray about it. Second, be satisfied with whatever happens or does not happen. If if comes, then it comes. If it does not, then it does not. End of question. ~Manataka

(Requirements) This swap will be entirely based around your animal LIFE GUIDE (lifelong spirit guide). Some of you may have only identified one animal, while others may be blessed with the companionship of many. COMMENT BELOW what animal is your spirit guide. If you have more than one, you may list them. Just try to keep it below 3 animals.

You will have one partner, to whom you must go to Amazon.com (or another retail online seller) and send them items related to the animal.There is no price limit on this swap, but you must send quality items, and a fair mix of things, not a bunch of the same item. At least 3 things must be sent. They do not have to be expensive.

When Amazon ships the items, please let your partner know the tracking number.

Please check your partner's profile for allergies if you plan to send food/tea or body products. Also be mindful of BLATANT DISLIKES. This means you should read your partner's profile. Yes, it is sender's choice, but you should still know the person you are sending such a beautiful swap to.

You can send ANYTHING you feel relates to their spirit animal. Examples include art, postcards, notecards, washi tape, candles, books, calenders, key chains, bath products that remind you of their spirit animal (like ocean/beachy scents for dolphin, fish, etc. or exfoliating scrub for alligator, hah!) crystals or herbs related to their animal, tea, rituals, spells, etc. Be creative and be thoughtful. Don't just send them a statue of the animal and call it good.

This is a very special and spiritual swap, so you will have lots of time to prepare. Take your time to find wonderful things to send to your partner.

Flaking will result in immediate removal from the group. Sending late will result in a temporary group swap ban for an undetermined amount of time.

If you have any questions, please ask me.
