To make things a little easier, we asked animal meanings expert Gladys to tell us what over 40 animals represent. Similar forms of animism can be observed in ancient cultures across the globe, such as the Mun religion of the Lepcha people of Sikkim, India.Įach animal has a meaning, which means it can be difficult finding the one that’s right for you or that truly represents you. Totems, as per Native American beliefs, are spiritual beings or sacred objects and symbols of an individual or their tribe, and each person is said to have nine different animal spirits that act as guides throughout their life. Of all these cultures, Native American animism tends to be one of the most popular. Most of these cultures also practised ancient forms of body art, including tribal tattooing. Animal Tattoos and their MeaningsĪnimism has its roots in the most ancient tribal and indigenous populations, who prior to modern day religion found meaning and purpose in the world around them. In this post, Gladys introduces the basics of animal symbolism to us - and gives us a glimpse into what these animal mean as tattoos!īe sure to check out Gladys’ other work on her site Reiki With Friends. In modern spirituality, animism is frequently used to interpret meanings and messages that come to us in the form of animals.
Gladys began her journey into spirituality nearly two decades ago in Dubai and has since gone on to educate herself in various modalities, including animism, an ancient religious and spiritual belief that all things - including animals, plants, rocks and mountains, words, and even objects - are ‘animated’ and thus alive, each possessing its own spiritual essence. We’re pleased to host this blog written in collaboration with Gladys, a Reiki Grandmaster and Tarot reader, and an expert on animal meanings and symbolism!
