Itās a little bit frightening. I honestly think the spike in bear sightings is due to Alaska āHunkering downā right as they were coming out of their dens. The whole state was pretty quiet. A lot of the villages are still on lockdown. Doesnāt help that a lot of folks havenāt converted to the bear safe trash cans, they really do make a difference.

Ohhhhh excellent resources on spirit animals 
Iāve been seeing a lot of the hooded crows lately, and the other day as I was walking by one just stood on the edge of the sidewalk and didnāt move as I got closer. He just watched me intently- like he was trying to tell me somethingā¦
The Spirit Animal Totem site had some interesting interpretations of the meanings of crows:
Conversely, similar to the Cheetah, the Crow symbolism could also be letting you know that you are spreading yourself a little bit too thin. Thus, the Crow meaning insists itās time to step back and reassess where you. You can do this by taking stock of your dreams and aspirations. Moreover, being clear about your desires is the key to manifesting your intentions.
There was a nagging thought in the back of my mind that I was taking on too many projects between school, work, and hobbies lately- I guess this is a sure sign itās time to take a step back! 
Thank you crow, and also thank you for sharing, @Missa!

The Crow is the spirit animal of the Morrigan as well. You just finished a video on Macha, she too transforms into both a horse and a crow. Interesting to consider the connection!

@Missa, great information! Thank you for sharing! How do you know who is your spirit animal? I read about the wolf and it does describe me pretty good! Always had an obsession with wolves, even as a kid. However, how do you distinguish between admiration of an animal or the actual spirit animal?

I donāt know that I have an animal that keeps showing up other than my neighborhood bunnies, squirrels, crows, and other birds. @SilverBear would you be able to find my Native American animal? I was born on November 7. I would be interested to find out.

Snake people have the ability to bring change to any of the things with which they are involved. While they are usually not very malleable themselves, they can adapt situations around them into whatever shapes they desire. Snake people have high energy running through them at most times, and they have many new ideas about ways in which any situation can be improved. When the snake person is in balance most of their ideas will be sound ones, and one they are fully capable of implementing.
Because snake people are generally attuned to the higher energies around them, once they have purified their own spirits they are capable of helping others with this tasks. Many snake people are natural healers when in balance.
Snake people can also be stubborn, critical, jealous and deceitful and given to times of furious anger, often cuttingly directed toward those who are closest to them. It is important for snake people in this condition to remember that they have all the power they need to bring their energies into a more helpful, pleasant, clear and serving place.
There is a lot more to these totems - but thatās just a sample.

Budding Trees Moon (March 21 - April 3)
First Moon of Wabun and Spirit Keeper of the East
Animal is Red Hawk
Plant is Dandelion
Mineral is Fire Opal
Color is Yellow
Element is Fire - Thunderbird Clan
Characteristics: Innovative, energetic, optimistic, clear-sighted, feisty and adventurous
Red hawk people can often be found near hot spots or places of pressure either in the literal or figurative sense. Red hawk people like the sun and warmth, and they also like to be in active situations which can utilize their intense mental, physical and emotional energy. They are porous and their spirits can be easily stained if they associate themselves with the wrong ideas or people. They are usually open people, willing to listen to any new ideas or philosophies and sometimes they accept things that later prove harmful for them. When they find themselves in wrong situations or under too much strain they can fracture and lose the life vitality that usually gives them their fire and sparkle.
Red hawk people are often the symbol of hope for any new idea that is struggling to be born. They are catalysts, capable of making an idea into reality. Their connection with the sun and fire is strong. Their connection with the moon and their emotions is more difficult for them to deal with. The fire from the red hawk people come from their emotions.
