“Spirikins are animal spirits. Each girl’s spirikin represents her inner self, and that defines which animal chooses her. The spirikin helps a girl acquire the one quality she needs but doesn’t have.”
~ Queen Mangi
Look into your heart: what quality do you need in your life? Do you need to become a better friend or a better listener? Do you need to learn how to ask for help—or maybe how to give it? Do you need to believe in yourself? To express what’s in your heart? Do you need to be more daring, or more patient, or more kind? These are powerful qualities, and to master them you’ll need help from a powerful guide: your spirikin.
You can’t find your spirikin by taking a simple quiz. You won’t find her by making a list of all the good qualities you already have (and you have many!) That’s because your spirikin isn’t about who you are now; she shows you who you can become. No one else can tell you what your spirikin is. The only expert is you!
Ready to find out? Choose one of your favorite things to do, and invite her to reveal herself…
Go on a walk: Go on a hike in the mountains, a stroll on the beach, or a walk around your neighborhood. What do you see? Do certain animals always seem to show up when you go for a walk? Even in the city you can find animals everywhere: eagles nesting on skyscrapers, spiders crafting beautiful webs. Animals can appear in paintings or murals or even show up on billboards or as designs on jewelry or clothes.
Dive into dreams: Before you go to bed, think about what you need to work on in your life. It’s OK if it feels like a really big scary goal to tackle. If you are brave and honest, you will call the exact spirikin you need. Right before you fall asleep, invite your spirikin to come find you in your dreams. Maybe the two of you will meet in Aventurine!
Explore silence: Find a beautiful or inspiring place to sit for a while. Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing, or just watch the clouds in the sky or the wind moving through the grass. If you start worrying or making lists, set them aside and come back to the present. Your spirikin may come find you if you make space by getting quiet.
Make some noise: Listen to music you love—or jump up and start dancing! What kind of moves seem natural to you? You could even try moving like an animal—soar like a hawk or stalk like a tiger. Keep your mind open and have fun—see what kind of animal comes to dance with you!
Draw your spirikin: Find some time to draw or write. Think about the natural places and animals you feel a connection with. Animals have different strengths and talents. What kinds of strengths do you want to bring into your life? Just start drawing or writing and see what animal shows up on the page. Your spirikin could be as big as a bear or as small and delicate as a lightning bug.
Curl up and read: If you love reading, find stories and facts about animals. Check out forests, mountains, jungles, deserts, plains, oceans and rivers. What seems coolest to you—wolves and tigers, or dogs and cats? Look up birds like eagles, hawks, cranes and songbirds. Find images of whales, dolphins, seahorses and sea turtles. Even check out the smallest (and bravest) of creatures: rabbits and mice, frogs and lizards, dragonflies, spiders, even ladybugs.
Have fun and know that your spirikin will find you when the moment is right!

I have to do some soul-searching this week. I will discover what animal my spirikin is. But I strongly believe that I am a bird of some kind…
I am a bluejay, free, beautiful, and clever. I see them all the time, and they don’t fly away when I approach them. I would love to fly. Birds are the best.

Hey, I am kind of new here I am wondering how you find your spirikin, i know you can find it in your heart, but anyways i love nature and fairies and wish to be one myself. I am obsessed with nature, reading, fairies, climbing etc…. It is unexplainable. Will someone give me ideas on how to find mine? 🙂 thank you

my spirikin is a wolf a fox or a cat. it changes in my dreams each night between those 3.wolf because i am independent and quiet and love cold places.fox because i am smart tricky and sometimes mean(hardly).and cat because i love them i read warriors and they keep showing up in my yard.
Hi,
I am going to try to find my spirikin in a dream/daydream………..
I dont know what its going to be but i have a feeling its going to be a white tiger because I am literally in love with tigers
Hi Chloe, thats really cool about the blue jay! I thought my spirikin was a deer but I have really changed since then so like you said I am going to have to do some “soul searching” too! I think it will be something that lives in a very cold place because I really like the cold!

i think im a cat.at the house i just moved from, i could always find a little kitten in the alley or in my yard. i love taking care of them, and watching them play. i just moved into a new house and we went out to buy a washer and dryer and 2 kittens randomly showed up and started mewling at me. i believe im an alley cat. i also tend to find myself inexplicably over protective of cats and kittens. i saw one get run over and i began to cry.
My Spirikin is an Snow Leopard.
