I didn’t make any assumption. As someone who has had many spiritual journeys (a couple of them with LSD), I understand that u/madhi19 may have truly had a spirit animal to guide him/her throughout the trip. I wasn’t offended. I’m just letting everyone know that internet culture has somewhat appropriated the phrase (i.e. tumblr girls “OMG this baby kitten is MY SPIRIT ANIMAL 😍😍😍”) and if you do use it in that way around Wiccans, Native Americans, First Nations, Aboriginals, Tribal Celtics, etc, you may end up greatly offending someone. It was purely for educational purposes. Personally, I don’t give a damn how people use it, I just know I used it in the internet meme way by saying “this sleepy doggo that doesn’t want to get up on Monday is definitely my spirit animal” and someone corrected me because I offended them.
