Power Animals Unleashed!
February 3, 2016 2:44 PM   Subscribe

Unleash your Power Animal. Hover you mouse over the picture. When you feel the primal move you, click to learn your Power Animal. You can even hear its song in FULL SYNTH GLORY!

NOTICE: Do not use while on medication. Clear chakras before use. Song may get stuck in your head. Site is not liable for users renouncing their mortal lives to live as gorillas, tigers, elephants, dolphins or what have you in the Enchanted Forest. Site understands the likelihood of being a forest dolphin is slim. Site is not responsible for your Power Song becoming your unique theme music and following you wherever you go. Site does not recommend a zoo visit with 24 hours of use. Power Animals are not to be used for evil, but as they are animals they do not understand the concept so go nuts, Kraven. Do not dress as your Power Animal without discussing it with your significant other. If you disagree with your Power Animal you may request a new one by defeating it in either unarmed combat or a game of riddles. If you are a unicorn, you may use one of the following animals - horse, donkey, zebra - with a carrot taped to its head instead of an actual unicorn. No refunds.

Also, I got the seagull, which... annoying, loud, and eats garbage. That sounds about right.

"I was initiated into shamanism when a woman asked me to conduct a spiritual healing session. I was about to answer that I didn’t do that, when Running Wolf showed up in my mind and told me that yes, we could and would do that for her. After some years as his apprentice, we became a shaman team." -Carrie Hart

Um, that's not how shamanism works, though...

You need to internalize the screech to unlock the full power of your spirit animal.

Indeed. Like Ben and Aaron I was heartbroken that this site has been down for a year as I felt a strong calling to share with my fellow denizens of the Blue Enchanted Forest. I guess it's just the buffalo in me.

Hmmm, I must have been shunted to some sub version of the site, because apparently my power animal is the deer tick -- watch out, you suckees!

I want to be a squirrel! "Your money worries are over, for the squirrel will teach you how to manage your resources." If only "resources" meant money and not nuts. I'm pretty good at managing nuts.

Rhino.

Definitely true... I was sitting on the can when I clicked.

"Just breathe in your rhino power,"

Yeah, um, no, was kinda actively trying not to.

Hmm, I'm an owl, and apparently also Insight Queen of the World:

The owl brings you wisdom as well as great powers of perception and intuition. Welcome her into your heart and life gladly!

The owl has very keen hearing and vision, enabling her to perceive what others cannot. With her powers within you, you will be able to penetrate the darkness with your intuitive senses. You will see through deception and illusion. You will uncover all mysteries and bring truth to light.

Gosh, I'm conflicted, because there is something about this that is so fundamentally good-natured. Like that Spielberg film with the little UFOs. I just can't bring myself to criticize, even though I know the wider scientific internet demands tribute.

This seems way more likely to be true than that a televangelist would actually pray over the little prayer cloth you get if you send him $100 of your Social Security check.

BUFFALO

I clicked five times in the exact same spot and got five different spirit animals. Does that mean I am five times better than you?

Probably.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room, shall we? That elephant is me, and I'm in the room. The forest, really, but it's like a room, only bigger and more full of trees. Anyway, elephant.

As an Orca I was very happy to find a dolphin in the forest. Yummy. Now where the hell is the water?

I need this.

I really don't like to swim, and it only makes sense to me to find a forest animal in the forest.

An orca?

OH NOES! I think my spirit animal is whale snack!

This is invalid. I already know that my power animal is the domestic cat.

The koala is also an excellent sleeper. If ever you have trouble sleeping, pull in koala energy and let it infuse you and allow you to sleep long and peacefully, no matter where you are. Just wedge your furry, padded bottom into that tree, breathe in the koala power and doze peacefully, knowing that you are exactly as you should be, right now, in this warm cocoon of koala life. Ah, how blessed you are!

... I have narcolepsy without cataplexy, and excessive daytime tiredness. Yep. Totally right power animal.

Owl.
I work at night, and I wear glasses.
I had a moment once with one of the owls at the aviary.
Never puked up a mouse skull, though.
I'll take it, but the song's kinda weak.

I clicked way up in the trees and got a rhino.

Most people don't know about tree rhinos, because it never occurred to anyone to look for rhinos in trees.

The Song of the Unicorn is... a solo horn. Wah wah waaaaah...
I also dig the mellow jazz stylings of the Song of the Buffalo. I might need a playlist of these.

I'm also a polar bear, and I'm particularly pleased because one of their powers is insulation. They must have been able to tell this is my power animal because of my thick layer of fur which traps air close to my skin and slows heat loss by minimizing radiation and conduction!

HAH I got bear.

I just had a bear tattooed onto my head.

SPOOKY.

(more spooky is that the pwoer of the bear is all about seasons and knowing them and that is totes my go to metaphor to explain why sometimes I work and sometimes I think)
