Totem Cat Spirit Guide
Symbolism of the Cat as Power Animal or Animal Familiar in Shamanism
Nov 11, 2009
The cat is a symbol of intuition and independence, and this is particularly true of the cat spirit guide. The domestic cat, along with close cousins the wildcats, offer powerful guidance to the shaman when they appear as an animal familiar. The shaman with a cat spirit guide is sure to always land on his or her feet!
Cat Power Animal Symbolizes Self-Assurance
Despite millennia in the company of man, the cat by no means considers itself to be inferior to its human companions. The cat simply radiates self-assurance, and he shares this noble quality with his human familiar. What a wonderful trait to enjoy on inner shamanic journeys which often present very unfamiliar and disorientating imagery.
The shamanic practitioner who calls upon on his or her totem cat is sure to draw much insight and perspective in the most unnerving of circumstances.
The Warm Love of the Cat Spirit Guide
The cat spirit guide can be very loving and affectionate, but on their own terms. Nobody should take the cat spirit guide for granted. The cat shaman him or herself can appear unpredictable, but in fact he or she has their own unique worldview in which every action makes sense. Often, intuition is more important than logic, as the cat’s wisdom is feminine and does not always bend in the face of sheer reason. But do not make the mistake of underestimating the powerful insight of the cat!
Those with a totem cat spirit guide are very likely to have a cat as a companion in the material realm, or at least to be deeply fascinated by the cats they encounter. Watch cats’ behavior closely as it will provide valuable clues about the wide variety of strengths and skills of the cat. All of these talents apply equally well in the spirit realm during shamanic journeys.
The Cat Animal Familiar can be Determined and Single Minded
The cat spirit guide can offer swiftness, single-mindedness and remarkable stealth! The cat’s unusual approach to many challenging situations that may be encountered on shamanic journeys can give speedy and unexpected breakthroughs. Anyone who has watched a cat stalk a mouse will know just how skilled he can be when pursuing a goal.
Shamans fortunate enough to have a cat power animal know an intuitive, self-assured and skilled companion on shamanic journeys.
