Whuddup Witches

Animal symbolism has been used since the beginning of recorded time throughout many religions, cultures and folklore. People have welcomed animals into their spiritual practices throughout the ages through in the form of Totem Animals, familiars, using animal parts in rituals, using their likeness as symbols to invoke magic. Today we are going to look at a small piece of this by looking at spirit animals. Join us in this weeks episode as Holly and Felicia begin to explore animal magic by looking at the indigenous history and modern uses of spirit animals and how we can incorporate them into our practice, our lives and our spirituality.
