Animals in magick

I love animals and love incorporating their energies in my craft. This can manifest in many ways- think of spirit animals, totems, vision even patronus (HP) - but the results have always been positive.

Some little things I do with animals and their energies:

I call upon certain animals for certain energies
I visualise the spirits of certain animals within me or by my side in times when I need their energies
I visualise my friends and family as animals to see which animals appear to try and determine what they need (For magick or otherwise)
When I have need of a certain deity I sometimes call upon their sacred animals instead because calling upon a deity for something minor always feels a little odd.
I visualise them when doing certain magickal practices:
- Call upon the bear spirit when protecting the home
- Call upon the bee spirit when potting flowers
- Call upon the owl spirit when doing cleansing work

I also find that at certain times certain animals have been with me more than others, for a long time I had the deer/ elk follow me around but lately the polar bear had been strong with me in my time of need.

Do any of you guys work with animals, or would you like to? Do you have any questions or do you just want to tell me your favourite animal :P
