I wasn’t sure how to approach this challenge, so I’m going to wing it like @Susurrus and go for a quiz. Before I take the quiz, I just want to go on record and say that I feel like my familiar or animal spirit would most likely be a snake or a horse. Or even a wolf… 
I’m very connected to snakes 
I mean… I have six ball pythons and they’re all my babies – even the snappy one named Firefly 
they’ve always been a source of inspiration for me in one way or another. They go through transformation regularly. They are a source of fear for people. They are connected with the spiritual world, though I didn’t know that early on. They’re a source of growth and inspiration!
Okay, enough rambles. I’m gonna take the quiz now…
Okay, not what I was expecting at all 
I have to say that I don’t resonate with the message of the turtle at all – now I’m gonna find something else to take and see if I get different answers. I mean, I know these are all fun and games, but I’d like to at least resonate with one of the answers I get!
This quiz is from BuzzFeed and I got the Raven 
I resonate more with this message. I like to learn a lot of different things, but I also don’t like to butt into situations that don’t involve me unless I have to. Hmm… I’m gonna have to think about this one a bit more.
Then I took another quiz and got the bat 
as my animal spirit!
Again, I really resonate with the message in this one, too. Maybe my animal spirits are more flying creatures rather than slithery ones!
Okay, one last quiz because I can’t help myself 
I don’t even know what to say to this one… 
Okay, that’s enough for now.
I honestly don’t have a familiar or spiritual companion - not yet, at least! One day I might, but that hasn’t seemed to be necessary yet.
