“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!

Congratulations!

you have earned a wisdom card!

  1. I think that mines is a palomino horse. I am beautiful, fast, free and clever. I will fight if trapped but flee if it can be. I can get curious and that can drive me off course. A mustang is probablly my spirikin: wild and free, like the clouds and winds. I luv nature.

  2. Hey peeps!
    I have NO idea whatsoever what my spirikin is! BUT I am feeling connections with: Birds, Wolves, Foxes, Tigers, Alley Cats, and Unicorns.

  8. I don’t know what my spirikin is. My first guess is an owl, because i love to read, i never go to sleep on time at night, and owls are supposed to be smart.

  10. Hey Peeps!I think my Spirkin is a Cute furry cat i am a good companion hates dogs and hates rats (eeeeew…!)

  11. I think that mine’s a snow leopard. I am fast, agile, quiet, and am an waesome hider. I love to eat meat, although I will eat my vegetables. I knew that my spirkin was probably a carnivore considering that I totaly love meat. I love big cats, and i’m super fast, but can only run very fast for a short amount of time. I can obviously relate to a Snow Leopard.

  12. I think that my spirikin is an eagle. I am quick, clever, and I can fly (not literally). An eagle is also a carnivore, and I love meat. I love eagles!

  13. I found out that my spirikin is a deer! I found out by inviting my spirikin into my dreams… in my dream, I was in a forest and I met Kerka and Birdie and we went to a huge field with lots of animals. A deer came over to me. I drew a picture… it looked like it was a white tailed deer, except it was white all over. It had no antlers because it was a girl. I do love deer…

  17. I am …drumroll please… a pig! This kinda figures, ’cause I just told my best friend that pigs are my favorite animal! OINK!

  18. I tried inviting my spirikin into my dreams but it didn’t work. I like tons of animals so I can’t really tell what it could be otherwise. If you have tips please tell me.

  19. I am curious, sweet,Nice, kind, Who am i? My spirkin can be a mouse, a deer, a rabbit or a jagaur . There’s can be the curiouset animals or I can be a snow leopard, a palorimo or a gray owl the creatist and the soft spokenest animals. I love to power walk so a cheetah, horses told to be my favourite animal so I can be a horse or I am the youngest, I love to have a quiet room so I can be a mouse.

  20. I think I am a mockingbird because I <3 annoying my sister and I like to sing what other people sing, but sometimes I make up my own songs. I'm very impatiant 2. The only thing that doesn't fit is that I looooove to swim. Does anyone know another animal?
