Guardian spirits are supernatural teachers, frequently depicted in animal form, who guide an individual in important activities through advice and songs; the belief in guardian spirits is widely diffused among the North American native cultures.
In some traditions the guardian manifests itself in a dream or by other portents. In other traditions it is the individual who sets out to discover a guardian by undertaking a vision quest.
Also referred to as power animals or animal totems, these spiritual entities possess distinct characteristics that can offer insights into an individual's personality, life path, and spiritual journey.
