It is the mighty Emperor Penguin!

Well I just love penguins, the males sit on the egg after the females lay it. I just love that concept.

Am I already supposed to know what my power animal is?
...cause I don't!
How do I find out?
Thankx

Here's one that fits me quite well..

definately a dog. especially the larger ones. (shepherds, labs, etc)

ive always got along real well with big dogs. one of my mates had an old blue heeler. "oh dont pat him, he bites"
well, not long later he seen me put my arm over him and give him a good pat.

my mate was shocked and said "ive never seen him let anyone do that".


heres one of my 2x boys.

The inbred unicorn, also known as the freakishly mutated cow. Gets me goin every time.

if you entry "people" in to google, you will find so many links concerning the most power animal there......

Only one for me, always has been...


A rarity among her own. Usually kept in captivity. A wild spirit still inside.Always prowling.Loves to hunt prey, and kill.
Easily becomes attached to people, but will attack without warning.

THAT WOULD BE ME.

That's a great link W.

You can have more than one power animal, but the 'real' method of finding it is to 'journey'.

This is usually a guided spiritual trip that you go on under the tutelage of a shaman.

It's probably similar to a type of hypnosis, but when you do it, supposedly your animal finds you.

I know someone who does this, and although I made this post in a light-hearted manner, I'd be happy to get more details for anyone that's interested.

Normally I'd be a little skeptical of this kind of thing, but someone I know and trust told me about their experience and it sounds quite interesting and not entirely subjective.

Obviously a Dragon. Fire Dragon, according to the Chinese Zodiac. But I'd like to think this is also my power animal:

Here is mine. My dog is on the left and his name is sam.






As you can see he is a bit of a wimp and his girlfriend is the boss.









Hope you enjoy these pics.

I am very drawn to Panda bears and have been since a child. I think my collection is well over 400 items now.

Understanding the value of slowness
Connection to Eastern beliefs

Here is my power animal...
