## Resource

For thousands of years, people have claimed to encounter animal guides that offer wisdom, protection, healing, and spiritual insight. From ancient shamans and spirit guides to modern power animals and New Age practices, these traditions continue to influence millions of people today. But where did these ideas originate? Joel traces the history of familiar spirits, tutelary spirits, ancestral guides, and modern spirit animal teachings while examining their connections to occultism, esoteric societies, and contemporary spirituality. Along the way, he explores the symbolism attached to animals such as the wolf, bear, bat, raven, and dragon, as well as the role these beings play in shamanic journeying and mystical experiences. The conversation also ventures into deeper territory, examining Michael Harner's Core Shamanism, the rise of neoshamanism, the Sirius mysteries, spirit guides, and Aleister Crowley's teachings on ego death, Crossing the Abyss, and the City of the Pyramids. Are spirit animals merely symbolic archetypes? Are they psychological constructs? Are they spiritual entities? And what does Scripture have to say about seeking guidance from unseen spiritual beings? Join Joel as he investigates one of the most popular concepts in modern spirituality through the lens of history, occult traditions, and biblical discernment.
