Animal guide/spirit

I have a few questions. First, how do you go about finding out your animal guide, spirit, or totem?


Second, is it possible to have more than one?
What i mean is that I have always loved wolves. About three years ago, I went to a place where they had wolves in a large, enclosed area (poor locked up animals). I started howling (As best as I could), and one of the wolves came padding over to the edge of the enclosure, and started to howl back. Ever since I've heard that sound, I've wanted to hear it again. Then, last year, I went to a zoo, and when I was at the wolf exhibit (Poor animals all locked up), a gorgeous white wolf was laying down, and staring at me. Once our eyes met, neither of us wanted to look away.

I also feel a connection to hawks, in a very similar way as my connection to wolves. The first time a heard a hawk make it's beautiful, mysterious call (I have no clue how to describe it), I've been in love, and freeze every time I hear it. Also time I went to a place where they did hawk banding (Putting the metal bands on their legs), and got to hold a coopers hawk. It was almost the same as the wolf. The hawk didn't struggle, and we stared at each other. I eventually had to let it go, but, since then, I see a hawk once every day, and I love flying in airplanes, simply because I get to be in the air and off land.



I've had similar experiences with other animals (like snakes), but they havn't had the same impression on me as hawks and wolves. Also, maybe my connection to wolves and hawks is trying to point me to another animal, which is truly my guide. I have no clue, and that's why I want to know what you guys think.

Ever since I have read the Clan of the Cave Bear books, I have been somewhat interested i animal totems.

I'm not totally sure this is a paranormal event in one's life, but more of a spiritual condition.
Anyway, not knowing much, I did a google search
linky
And found this site
www.spiritualnetwork.net...

HTH, and I look forward to more converstion on this fascinating idea.

(I just remembered, when i was 6, I used to live in a town house in an area surrounded be thick forests, and a squirrel with a hole in it's right ear always came to our house. It ate peanuts out of my hand. We named him Nicker. Strange that, about 5 years later, I was attacked by one. Maybe that's trying to send me a message too...who knows)
