The OWL!

You are a keen observer with astute intuitive wisdom. Your skills at discretion and discernment not only provide you with impeccable judgement, but also make you a great listener when others need an attentive ear. You love a good mystery and are not bothered by critics or naysayers. Where others see bad fortune or disaster, you see an opportunity. You have unique ability to find magic in the mundane. As Faerie familiars, owls are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who are innovative and gifted problem solvers with an ability to notice details and opportunities that others do not. Your owl companion is the ideal guide when you need to navigate major transitions, big changes and uncharted territories.The Owl's Connection to FaerieThe owl has a special connection to the Fairy Queen and Celtic Goddess, Arianrhod. She would shapeshift into an owl when escorting the souls of the dead to the stars, where they would wait until it was time for their reincarnation. Arianrhod was a loving, caring and comforting fairy goddess associated with death and rebirth. She was also very proud of her virtue and maidenhood, not unlike Athena, the virgin warrior goddess in Greek mythology who also shared a connection with the owl. Both virgin goddesses were considered very wise with the ability to tap into the subconscious and "see in the dark" or see what others could not much like their owl counterparts. A few of Arianrhod's relatives also shared connections to the owl including her nephew, Gwyn, and her magically made daughter-in-law, Blodeuwedd.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

Irish mythology tells of The Morrigan, a Faerie goddess of war and fate who would appear on the battlefield in the form of a raven if a warrior was fated to die there. Odin had two raven scouts named Hugin and Munin who collected knowledge and information for the All-Father god. Alder Faeries are often spotted in the forms of ravens. The Welsh god-giant, Bran is associated with the alder tree while the raven is his sacred bird.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

Your flamingo companion is the ideal sidekick to have when you need to restore healthy balances in your life or find comfort in group situations. The Flamingo's Connection to FaerieAround the ancient Mediterranean, flamingos were associated with the mystical phoenix for their vivid pink or crimson plumage. They even got their name for their "flaming" feathers. Perhaps the transformation from ash-colored chicks to vibrant adults perpetuated the connection. Although flamingos have no direct tie to any ancient deities or spirits, they were frequently sacrificed in their honor and are regarded as a symbol of rarity, luxury and exoticism almost universally. In fact, the Romans in particular found some flamingo parts, such as the tongue, a culinary delicacy.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

You are an artist at heart, particularly where words or color are involved. Perhaps you have a natural talent as a writer, poet, actor, singer, painter or tailor. Other people are fascinated by you not only because you have interesting things to say and captivating stories to tell, but because you frequently say just what they needed to hear in that moment. You have a subtle and compassionate way of getting through to people. Your counsel and presence is often a healing experience.As Faerie familiars, macaws are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who are great at planting seeds and spreading inspiration wherever they go. Your parrot companion is the ideal ally when you are called to work on your language or communications skills, or when you need to be unapologetically bold and beautiful just as you are.The Macaw's Connection to FaerieMacaws are native to Central and South America and are important to many indigenous peoples of those areas. The Hopi, in particular, have a Parrot Kachina named, Kyash, a supernatural directional guardian associated with the South that has the power to bestow safe travels and bring fertility to summer crops and growth. According to Incan mythology, a macaw woman is the mother of all mankind as was the first to populate the earth. The Mayans associate the Big Dipper constellation with the macaw, where the handle is the long tail feathers and the ladle is the macaw's body.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

The PENGUIN!

You don't know the meaning of the words "give up." You are hard-working, ambitious, and a natural problem-solver. Determination, patience and endurance are your mantras. Cutting corners is not your style, but finding ways to increase efficiency without losing quality gets you excited. Although you don't mind working independently, you recognize that no one succeeds in isolation. You appreciate the support and aid that comes from community and teamwork and are always willing to pay-it-forward or return a favor. As Faerie familiars, penguins are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who remain level-headed even through the toughest challenges and keep moving forward toward building their dreams. Your penguin companion is the ideal guide to have along when you are entering into a difficult period and you need to remain focused and disciplined. The Penguin's Connection to FaerieThirteen of the world's 18 species of penguins make their home in New Zealand. The Maori name for the Fiordland penguin is Tawaki, the same name as their god of thunder and lightning. Tawaki (the god) was the instigator in the Maori version of the Great Flood myth. Reasons this cute and cuddly penguin shares its name with a formidable god may be because the yellow crest of the tawaki (penguin) looks like a bolt of lightning. It may also be because tawaki live in areas well-known for their heavy rainfall. Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

The BUTTERFLY!

You know how to appreciate the beauty of nature. Your faith that everything has a way of working itself out or that things happen for a reason is strong and unwavering. You love to learn new things and change things up often to keep your spirit young and your energy high. You never stay in the same place for very long. Once an experience has served its purpose, you move on with grace and lightness ready for the next thing that will help you on the road to self-improvement.As Faerie familiars, butterflies are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who truly know how to live in the present and attract joy through the practice of gratitude. Your butterfly companion is the ideal guide to have in times when profound transformation is needed in specific areas of your life, or when you need to release negative energy that is weighing you down. The Butterfly's Connection to FaerieThe revival of fairy culture during the Romanic Period and into the Victorian era started to see artists depicting Fae as small, fragile and even childlike beings with butterfly wings to make them appear more friendly following centuries of demonization. In Ireland it is bad luck to kill a white butterfly, for some believe they are the souls of deceased children. The Greek goddess, Psyche, whose beauty rivaled that of Aphrodite, is frequently depicted with butterfly wings and is the goddess of the soul, wife of Eros, god of love, lust and desire, and mother of Hedone, goddess of joy. The Mayan temples of Teotihuacan have murals and carvings of butterflies to symbolize the released souls of fallen warriors. Some indigenous tribes of the American Southwest believe that butterflies carry wishes and prayers to the Great Spirit. Universally, the butterfly is regarded as an emblem of fragility, freedom, hope and brings a sense of beauty to the concept of death (both literal and figurative).Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

As Faerie familiars, ladybugs are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who seek out and create their own happiness and have a talent for spreading joy to others. Your ladybug companion is the ideal guide when you need more play and laughter in your life, or when you need a stroke of good fortune.The Ladybug's Connection to FaerieThe original name for ladybug in Old Norse was Freyjuhœna, or Freyja's Hen (the goddess, Freyja's name literally translates to "lady"); however after Christianity took over, the insect was renamed, marihøne in honour of the Virgin Mary. In English, it was known as Bird of Our Lady, or ladybird. Legend has it that in the Middle Ages, farmers who were worried about their crops would pray to the Virgin Mary, and she would answer their prayers by sending ladybugs. As a goddess of fertility, Freyja could also be called on to provide a bountiful harvest.Much like Faeries, ladybugs are steeped in superstitious traditions and beliefs. Ladybugs inhabit every part of the earth except the polar regions and they are regarded as lucky omens throughout history and across cultures. From healing ailments to prospects of romance, blessings of babies or signs of prosperity, ladybugs herald good fortune and bright futures wherever they are found.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

The DRAGONFLY!

You are the kind of genuine individual who walks their talk and has the courage to speak their truth. You not only have the guts to be truly authentic to who you are, but you are also not afraid to change that about yourself that will help you become better and flourish. Your willingness to adapt and change direction on a whim has gifted you with great wisdom. You possess a gentle heart always willing to help others in need, especially when they are struggling with seeing a different perspective or are not sure which direction to go.As Faerie familiars, dragonflies are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who are are well balanced in heart and mind and can see clearly when emotions are getting in the way of rational thought just as well as when rational thought tries to interfere with sound intuition. Your dragonfly companion is the ideal guide when you need to see through illusions and not be misguided by lies or deception.The Dragonfly's Connection to FaerieSome say the dragonfly was the preferred mount of fairies, elves and hobgoblins due to their incredible aerodynamic abilities. The dragonfly was also a symbol of Freyja, the Norse goddess of fertility, love, beauty and war. Much like their namesake, the dragon, dragonflies are seen as good or bad depending on where you are from. The history of dragons in Europe has always portrayed them as malevolent beasts - even synonymous with demons in Christian folklore. It's no surprise that Western/European folklore has demonized the dragonfly as well. Some say dragonflies will sew the eyes or mouths shut of naughty children, profane men or mouthy women. In Scandinavia, dragonflies are considered scouts of the Devil in search of bad souls, so you wouldn't want one hanging around you else you be suspect.In Asia, by contrast (specifically China and Japan), where dragons are benevolent creatures known for guarding divine secrets and bestowing sacred gifts, the dragonfly is a symbol of good fortune and happiness.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

The SNAIL!

You are incredibly patient and steadfast. You keep moving forward no matter what. You are a deep thinker and tend to analyze every angle and aspect before coming to a decision. Once your mind is made up, you never second guess. You are a creature of habit, reliable and comfortable in your routine. Time and money management are no obstacle for you, as you excel at both. You are a hard-worker, yet at the same time you avoid putting undue pressure on yourself to be as good or as fast anyone else. You work at your own comfortable pace and maintain steady improvement while balancing that with your own mental and physical health. As Faerie familiars, snails are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who are meditative, relaxed and introspective, and set the example for self-love and self-care. Your snail companion is the ideal guide to have when life is getting a little too fast paced. The Snail's Connection to FaerieThe spiral is an ancient symbol of birth, death and rebirth across many different cultures. It's also symbolic of the rotation of the sun and earth and turning of the seasons. The Aztec god of the Moon, Tecciztecatl carries a snail shell on his back. The ability to retreat into his shell may explain the phases of the moon and why it is not always visible. The Aztec creator god, Quetzalcoatl also wears a spiral shell on his chest to represent the source of all life.To the ancient Greeks, the snail was a symbol of fertility and fruition as a result of hard work. The Mayan god of misfortune and debauchery, Wayeb also carried a snail shell on his back. He emerges from his shell for the last 5 days of the Mayan calendar year. A period of introspection to reflect on days past, and prepare to emerge transformed in time for a new rotation around the sun. Meet the artist...(a.k.a.

The SPIDER!

You are a talented and creative person who likely has more ideas than time to bring all your visions to life. You like to be in control and believe in yourself more than a higher power; you prefer to be the weaver of your own destiny. With any project you take on, you are very particular and meticulous about how you want to get things done. It's very difficult for anyone or anything to knock you off your game. You are very balanced, always incorporating opposing forces as two sides of the same coin (e.g., life and death, dark and light, yin and yang). As Faerie familiars, spiders are attracted to magically inclined humans like you who are able to transform dreams and ideas into realities. Your spider companion is the ideal guide when there is a need to get better acquainted with the dark part of your soul or when you are looking to remove creative blocks.The Spider's Connection to FaerieIn Celtic mythology the spider is sometimes associated with the Welsh fairy goddess, Arianrhod whose name means 'silver wheel,' which most people connect to the moon, but others believe it may also refer to a spider's web. Arianrhod is a mother goddess of the stars and a weaver of cosmic time. Irish Sídhe (fairy) queens were said to wear silver gossamer dresses delicately woven from spider silk. The spindle is frequently associated with lunar goddesses and their power to weave destinies. Across Europe in ancient Greece, it was said that Arachne's skills as a weaver surpassed even that of Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom and crafts. As punishment for her hubris, Athena transformed Arachne into a spider. In West Africa, Anansi is the trickster god of wisdom and storytelling who appears in the form of a spider. Spider Woman or Grandmother Spider plays many important roles to many different North American indigenous peoples, including the creation of the earth and its creatures.Meet the artist...(a.k.a.
