“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 am Rebecca Shy) How do I figure out what my Spirikin is? This is my first time on this website. It is a very nice website!

  2. im just gonna draw random animals and see what they look like.who knows, maybe 1 is my spirikin!

  3. it looked like a wolf!!! here’s 3 reasons why my spirikin’s a wolf:
    1. i’m fast,
    2. i like to be in the forest,
    3. wolves are cool!

  4. Bellis Perennis, all I did to find my spirikin was I went in to the woods behind my house and closed my eyes and thought about what I was missing. then it just happened. You just see it right there in front of you. If it does not work the first time, keep trying! you will get it!

  5. To find my spirikin I just did what I do best write. I just wrote what was in side of me. So with out even thinking I just knew that my spirikin was a swan. You do not know your spirikin will not be your favorite animal. It’s like when you go into a room wanting to play one instrument and come out wanting to play another.

  6. Remember guys, it’s not what you are, it’s what you AREN’T. I am not paitient at all and am a – get up – and – go type girl, so I think mine is a deer. Not exactly one in my top ten, but, they are paitient, gracefull (not me), and scared easily.

  7. my favorite animal is an octopus, a fox, or a lark. I think I am a lark because I’m good at singing and even though I look like every one else there is just some thing about me that can’t be duplicated just like a lark.

  8. Thank you all for helping me find my spirikin! I think I am a wolf because I closed my eyes and I could just feel it. Also, I am like a wolf because I am brave and strong and athletic and I admit that I can be really mean and harsh. I LOVE wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. I am a broad-billed hummingbird because I am fast, fun, and curious. I shine like my feathers!

  10. actully me is a wolf! I am strong and loving, I fight, but I am also sweet. Don’t cross me!

  11. I love to run, and I can be sweet and sometimes harsh. So, I think mine would be a horse.

  12. i think my sprinkie is a huge stong elephant that moves very slowly and very carefully and very clumsily when she tries to run. she is very gentle and quiet unless needs to be loud and aggressive. i am none of these things. i am loud, rambuncsious, agile, and small, the very opposite of my sprinkie. isnt that how it is suppose to work?

  13. I am a wolf,all of my friends even agre.i am fast, I eat like a wolf, I can jump reply far, I can howl egzactly like a wolf, and my favorite hobby is camping. I also have a pack of friends that I love to hang out with.in my dream I was running in the tempest forest, a huge full moon hung over the forest,sudenly a pack of wolves ran with me and I saw I was a wolf too. We ran through the forest like the wind. Then, all Of wolves transformed into my friends. And I was human again, and we played for what felt like hours. Then at dawn, the dream shattered into green and perple sparks when I woke up I herd the howling of wolves and I found some leaves in my hair and I smelt like my chow chow puppy. Plus, the hole dream was really vivid. And the knight I dreamed that it was the full moon.

  14. I love my spirkin it makes me feel much better to have one, kind of like a invisible friend. My spirkin is a ferret. I’m fast and agile and i get along well with almost everyone.

  15. I think mine is an owl, but I don’t know for sure. I thought of it because I need the wisdom for kindness and patience and even courage. I think I need to better understand myself, because I’m really good at understanding others. And, because the owl symbolizes wisdom, I thought that it made sense, plus the owl is nocturnal and I love the moon. Also the owl is a predator so that reminded me of bravery and fierceness, which are other qualities I think I need. Plus, the owl is one of my favorite animals. And I love birds.

  16. Im graceful and smart, but I can be fierce and scary when I want to.I love to read, and I talk alot. I can get scared pretty easily. Some people arent afraid of my scary side, so I’m not that scary. I eat really slowly and I take small bites of all my food. My teeth are really messed up! I am loving but I wouldn’t be a very good pet. I can also be pretty unusual sometimes. I can be pretty patient, but when I get really excited I am REALLY impatient. I am a good singer, but I’m a little shy about my voice. I love to swim, and I am really good at it. I have amazing math skills, but I do not actually like math much. I am not really a braggart and I make new friends pretty easily. I realized that I am a rabbit because when I closed my eyes and focused I saw a rabbit head surrounded by a circle.

  17. someone once said to me that i keep trying to be the sheep , but i should be the lion, to find my inner passion and confidence. so i think i am a lion

  19. I think I am a wolf. I am strong and active. Sometimes, I like being alone but I am always ready to stand up for my friends or help my friends. I also have to admit I can get kinda snappy at some points in time.

  20. Okay before i tell you have to not laugh because this is the animal i felt best was opposite of me, first of I’m not patient, kind, gentle, and I’m a bit vain. So it took me awhile to figure it out but finally it came to me. A few months ago I’d seen a cow and it was so gentle and sweet and patient and i just thought about it and it hit me those are the things i lack. i hope this helped some people. Bye 😀

  21. how do i know which spirikin fits what you are? how do i know what spirikin i am? an somebody help me please! 😉

  22. I’m a lone wolf. All my friends are different. Im even different from my family, my dog is cousins to a wolf. It is all I can think about. I am fast. I like to be alone. I’m a loner from everyone. I have a ton of friends but none of them are really like ME… I want a pack. I need a pack. I am a lone wolf
