Spirit Animals are basically any animal to whom you feel a deep connection to, and from whom you can learn. In exploring the spiritual meaning, symbolism, mythology and history of animals A through Z. In this podcast series, perhaps you have made some powerful connections like that, maybe even acquired spiritual animal totems. Today's creatures' presence can liven up any situation with their ability to spray foul smelling liquid when they feel threatened. Yes, I am talking about the black and white skunk, who is found in North, South and in Central America. They are usually located near humans because they enjoy eating human garbage. Despite many humans finding them to be distasteful because of their smell. They actually play an important role in our ecosystem. They help control populations of rodents and other small animals that can damage crops and spread disease. It is interesting to note that skunk's strong sense of smell can be used by humans to detect bombs and other explosives. Overall skunk symbolizes balance, awareness, protection, boundaries, courageousness, energy conservation, peace, fertility and self-confidence. 

So call in, the skunk spirit, call in skunk medicine. “Call IT in With Dar!”
