Spirit Guides: Finding Them, Talking To Them, etc.

Thanks, it's nice to meet someone who understands. Being stuck with a wolf.is like being the new kid who's parents are movie stars, and they wish that their parents could be 'normal' for once. I miss those guides, the macaw and the raven. I had the macaw for two months, and the raven.for a week and a half, both during last year.

I'm not sure it's very respectful to your guide to talk about them that way. Even if they are more "common", they may get insulted that you don't appreciate them, or their help. Isn't it better to have a guide than no guide at all? Just saying.

I know how it feels. X( I have a feeling some of these people are making up stories about their spirit animals being wolves, seeing as some of them are downright strange. -_- Oh well. I once had a panda, but something happened to her and she hasn't been to me since. She was with me for 3 months before she just dissapeared from me. *sigh* Oh well. One learns to cope. My spirit animal isn't exactly one for talking. I just met him, and he almost didn't answer me when I asked if he was my SA. I would've loved a raven or a hawk or a deer, but fate must have something else in mind. ._.

I'm not insulting him. True, I didn't want a wolf and I was a little upset. I had another SA once, she as a panda. I just don't know why my new one is a wolf. I do look forward to seeing what he has in store for me, though. Please don't call me out because you thought I was "insulting" my new SA. I respect his choice to be my SA.

It doesn't really matter what animal your SA is, they are your SA. I was a little doubtful when I figured out my SA was guess what, a donkey. But I love him and now that I've gotten to know Mikayu I would never give him up for the world.

(I'm beginning to agree with whomeversaidit that people claim wolves are rare, but those same people have them =.= and that's at least 100! (My guess) The rarest, or least common I've seen is either a fox, or the unknown, lemur. I agree that wolves are SUPPOSED to be rare, however my SA is in fact, not a wolf. since when have wolves had antlers and wings, anyway? Because that would be cool.)
I still can't remember who Akatosh was, but I know for a fact I heard it from assassin's creed. I'm going to contact the SW tonight and explore more of the terrain. If I find anything unusual or Shadow related, I'll let you all know in the morning before I forget.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with Assassins Creed lol!

And I think a lynx is a rare SA. I've not heard of anyone else with one!

I just need time to get to know him. I'm not over the shock of my first one just dissapearing like she did. She was very close to me, and I just feel bad about her being replaced so quickly.

I think wolves actually are common, considering how many people have them. And Lynx are definitely not known yet.
A donkey? Nice they are hard-core and stubborn, but their stubbornness is what makes them strong at heart ^^ Nice SA, very nice indeed.

Insulting them? Oh my. I would love to have three totems, the raven, macaw back, but still.have the wolf. Unfortunately, that's not to be. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the best way to handle 'disappointments' (I just got the feeling that my new SA wasn't so happy about that) is that it's not.your favorite animal, it's the one that most closely represents you as a whole. There isn't any test or quiz that can find your SA or SG for you, that you have to do yourself.

I see. My favorite animal is in fact a wolf, so that's why I thought maybe it would be best not to have one, if that makes sense. But I'm going to stay positive and think about what to do now and how to talk to him. I don't even know his name yet, so that's something I want to figure out immediately. He looks like his intentions are good, so I trust him.
