Quiz: Which Spirit Keeper do You Need?
Adapted from Shamanic Spirit, by Kenneth Meadows (Inner Traditions, 2004).
Native American traditions speak of four powers, or Spirit Keepers, associated with the four directions, animals, colors, and qualities, that may be honored and invoked, celebrated and worked with in order to bring ourselves into better balance with What Is.
Take this simple quiz to see which Native American Spirit Keeper would be most helpful to you now:
Look at the following sets of three statements. Which set of three is most true for you?
A
1. I long for a sense of renewal and quickening in my life.
2. I desire more clarity.
3. I feel that increased intelligence, intensity, and purity would be helpful to me now.
B
1. I long for transformation in my life.
2. I desire to be more grounded.
3. I feel that increased endurance, stability, and introspection would be helpful to me now.
C
1. I long for illumination.
2. I desire a sense of awakening and newness.
3. I feel that increased Light, spirituality, and far-sightedness would be helpful to me now.
D
1. I long for discovery in my life.
2. I desire a sense of unfolding and organic growth.
3. I feel that increased vitality, intuition and awareness of feelings would be helpful to me now.
If you chose A, you need the Power of the North.
Animal: Buffalo
Color: White
The Power of the North clarifies the mind and purifies our mental being.
If you chose B, you need the Power of the West.
Animal: Grizzly Bear
Color: Black
The Power of the West activates the intelligence of the physical body and enables it to work with the material substances that constitute our flesh, blood and bones.
If you chose C, you need the Power of the East.
Animal: Eagle
Color: Yellow
The Power of the East enables us to be enlightened with sudden flashes of inspiration and understanding through our innermost “self,” which is the noblest aspect of our total being.
If you chose D, you need the Power of the South.
Animal: Mouse
Color: Red
The Power of the South empowers and strengthens the intuitive “self.”
Spend some time facing or contemplating the direction you chose. Connect with those qualities within you. You may want to petition the power animal of that direction to help and guide you.

They seem to be large , powerful animals worthy of admiration... but a mouse? hmmm... Will someone please tell me how that fits in here? I guess mice a quiet (you could sneak up on your enemies? observe them quietly...?), mice are preety good at surviving (? maybe? if no cats are around?). I think mice are good survivors, really. They've been around for years! right?! Will someone please explain this to me in your words? I'm not entiely sure I understand it. Thanks!

ITS NOT MECCA!!
THEYRE SPIRIT KEEPERS... ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THE MEDICINE OF THE ANIMAL YOU GOT AND USE IT TO MAKE WISE CHOICES AND CHANGES...
NO, YOU DONT LOOK TO THE SOUTH AND MEDITATE!!!!
ITS JUST A GUIDELINE, BUT IF THE SPIRIT KEEPER COMES TO YOU IN A DREAM, BE AWARE OF THE DREAM'S POSSIBLE MEANINGS...
BELIEVE IN YOUR SPIRIT KEEPER.
HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

interesting. my Spirit Keeper is an eagle and the color was yellow, which I just found in another quiz.
I guess it's time to start looking around me and also looking for another path on the journey. Being stuck for me is not positive and I think it's time for action.
Thank you
