The concept of a spirit animal has always been foreign to me. I'm a Nigerian, if a spirit animal were to appear in my dreams it'd be a scary one because we've been conditioned to think such things are evil and a sign of bad luck.
I wrote a post sometime ago about spirit animals and took a spirit animal quiz afterwards, I really don't remember the result but it was either a cat or some other slow paced animal.
I took one of those quizzes for this post and it turns out my spirit animal is an owl. You really can't trust those quizzes can you?
The only thing I know about owls as a Nigerian is that they're witches and wizards. When I was little there used to be owls that'd gather on our roof at night and hoot. Whenever they started their calls, my parents would say, "Holy ghost fire!!!" "I bind and cast you". That reaction was always so amusing to me because they were just birds doing their own thing.
If I start having encounters with this supposed spirit animal, my parents would most probably take me to a church for 'deliverance'. I see why it'd be an owl though, I definitely always see beyond the illusion and would always see things for what they clearly are.
Thanks for reading.
