I lost my Mama cat yesterday. She was old age and ill health. I wrapped her in my best piece of fabric & Rich buried her next to Precious, our Himalayan cat who died about 10 years ago. They were nice ladies.

Marissa,
How interesting I love spirit animals! There my spirit guidance as well, I always wondered how it is that instead of calling to a god. A person will call out to a animal! Since the beginning of time I always felt so strongly about our relationship to animals. So yeah during a tarot reading or something like that you can call on the energy of an animal if you need help with like a question in a reading! I have a couple decks that are about animals when it comes to the tarot!
I love unicorns, horses, dragons, bears, Lions, Foxes, owls! I suppose we can imagine if you needed rest you could call on the energy of a bear! And ask the spirit guides for guidance. P.S
Thanks for all your downloads! It will help me when I see an animal decide weather or not itās speaking to me as a omen or just a every day event. Or an animal just being a animal in nature! Funny huh itās late and I picked the bear! Lol I need to get some rest!
Blessed be!

Tonight isnāt the first time Iāve spoken to my dragon guardian; itās been a little over a week now.
That first night we made contact, I lit a candle, left an offering of cloves, and as I made small talk, I felt a warm, tingling sensation all over my body. Since then, Iāve noticed that Iām feeling less shy and Iām having more confidence in myself!
In that time, Iāve learned a few things about my dragon guardian:
-
Dragons are powerful. When working with them, state your intentions clearlyā¦ and remember the Wiccan rede! That being said, I believe that they can be an incredible force of positive change in your life.
-
My dragon guardian doesnāt have a given name, but I can give them whatever name I feel best suits them. Iāve been thinking the reason for this is naming is something only humans do?
-
My dragon guardian is an earth dragon. This surprised me because Iāve always identified with the element of water. No matter what obstacles are in my way, Iāve always managed to find a way over, under, through, or around them, like water. But it makes sense, because Iāve managed to remain stable, grounded, in challenging, stressful times of my life.
-
The dragon that keeps coming to my mind is a bluish, white dragon. Normally, when you think of an earth dragon, youād probably expect it to be green. But the earth does come in all colors. Maybe it could also represent the dual connection I have to earth and water?
By the way, I was browsing dragon decor on Amazon today and stumbled upon this breathtaking statue! This is the closest image of the dragon thatās been coming to my mind! I would love to buy it, but itās $123!

@Saulamay this is a beautiful story! She was meant to be with you! Like the cliche says. Animals pick you, not the other way around. In this case Bast has been with you all along.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story.
Blessed be.

Position 1 Hummingbird Spirit
Be here know
Seems pretty bitter sweet even though internally right now I am not feeling sweet. Have a really become the person I want to be? This message give me a requirement and a desire to be still because the hummingbird is here and there and for me I need to just need to be still. I am feeling that I am not enough.
Card 2: Turtle Spirit
āSlow and steady wins the raceā
What is the next right action to stay in alignment with my highest intentions?
I am studying for the as asvab and I hope that my studies go well. I need to trust there is something elseās for me. On to the next, and there is no rush! I just need small movements! Sometimes in this world we are pushed to go go go and for now I just need to sit back and remember that I am only human. The protection that the turtle have is abundant and the message that he sent this to me is to just be.Releasing fear and trusting to simply be.
Card three:
Where could this evolve if I remain on this path?
Nighttingale Spirit
Love is all around
Reminds me that I am loved! I will rise up! I have connections with the light around me.Yes there are shadows and darkness but love and prosperity exist everywhere even in the seeming emptiness of space of darkness and starless night. Feel it and trust in tomorrowās light renewing your ability to recognize that the spaces that appear empty or filled with love and abundance illumination will happen soon. Soon I will feel the love. Bringing light into the darkness with love from within give it a voice and know that Day break will be here soon.

I used the oracle to connect with the spirit animals! I feel like today I was stabbed in the back. But I learned a lesson not to be so NaĆÆve.
I will survive I have a hard shell that is protecting me!
This was not a spell but itās how I could connect to spirit today! I did a meditation and wrapped the invoked through pentagram all around me invoking blue light red light, green light to surround me.I Breathed in white light. I am grounded with the earth 
beneath my feet! I filled up with white lite in my minds eye! Spirit lead me! I asked the cards to help me with a current situation.com
Blessed be lovely witches!

For my challenge this week, Iāve been working on trying to establish a relationship with Bast. Iāve been offering incense and milk, along with some water to Her every night for the past three nights. Up until last night, I hadnāt really felt too much after my offerings and prayers to Her.
Last night, however, as I meditated after my prayers to Her, I felt like some weight was being lifted off my shoulders. I felt safer and more secure than I usually do.
Normally, my cats donāt really want too much to do with people unless theyāre in the mood to be interacted with on their terms (my kitties are the super fickle kind, but I still love them more than anything <3 lol). Today, however, they were all much more affectionate toward me than normal, and one of them followed me around all day to the point where I started calling her my lilā āpuppycat.ā Iām hoping that this is a sign that Bast is warming up to me a bit!
I plan on continuing to honor Bast regularly. Iām still very new to deity work outside of my upbringing in a Christian family, and so far, Bast has responded the most favorably to me, so Iād love to continue building a relationship with Her moving forward.

Ohhh I remember your encounter with the bat, @Abs53! That was so exciting I would love to hear the follow-up and see what that experience lead you towards
Gorgeous animal tarot decks, @Jeannie1! 
It sounds like animals are a very important part of your life and your magickal practice 
Sparrows are a charming bird to have a connection with, @AliceInWonderdab! Was there a moment or encounter that brought them into your life, or perhaps theyāve always called out to you? 
Congrats on deepening your bond with your dragon guardian, @Kasandra! They sound like a truly blessed presence in your life 
As for names, ānamesā as we know them are speaken or written in human languages- so yes, it would make sense that names are a concept tied to creatures that use written and spoken words! For dragons and other creatures (that are non-verbal) perhaps they are usually referred to in other more abstract ways- like emotions, memories, or wishes. Do you think you will give your earth dragon guardian a name, Stephanie? 
Well done on your growing connect with Bast, @Jewitch! 
It sounds like cats are an important part of life, so Bast is a natural deity for you to draw on. May She watch over you and your furry friends
