BIRD
*
    I think that I was a hawk in my past life. I can't remember much about it, but I know that I was owned by a man who was very cruel to me. I believe that he was a falconer, one of the nobles from medieval times. I remember him standing on some high place, looking out on the landscape, me being on his wrist, and him whispering something to me. When I think of this, I can feel his fingers running down my neck. It makes me shiver, and I still hate it in this life when anyone touches me there, even by accident. And whenever anyone or anything whispers in my right ear, I feel like I've been stabbed in the leg. This life would also account for the fact that I hate men in general, and I don't know why. I believe very strongly in past lives, and even though I'm fourteen, I feel like I am much older than that. I am so happy that I found a site where I can share these feelings. ~Wolfhawk

    I recently became interested in learning about my past lives and did a meditation to try to find some of them. When I did my medition it showed me that I have lived MANY MANY lives and then moved on to show me my first. I looked all around me and there were veins like I was unborn. It flashed to me just after birth and I looked up into the eyes of my mother. They were huge deep dark black eyes. I started my existence as a bird! I was a predatory bird like half hawk, half pigeon looking. I could fly and viewed a very virgin land. I have no idea where it was and did not see any people. I think I am very very old and it was probably before any kind of written history. The animal I once was is now extinct. The meditation helped to solve alot of things for me. My main spirit animal is a hawk and it protects me, possibly like my mother.

  I am not sure what it means but I have had the same dream for years, the beginning may start different but it always ends the same. In one version I am running and the I stretch out my arms and curl my feet under me. I can feel my arms getting heavy. Then, rather sudden like, ...I do not feel my arms, ...nor my legs. All I can hear is the wind. I seem to be flying without the aid of anything. At one point I do remember looking to my right and seeing feathers but I can't remember when I actually realized them. But the most spectacular thing is the view I have. I come out from some clouds and I can see beautiful green fields stretched out for miles. To my left is a thick forest. As I am flying I am getting closer to a castle on a sharp hill. The area around it is all green. I know it is a castle but I cannot see the top of it to figure out the style. Every time I try, ....I wake up -Laela

CROW

*
    Hi. My name is Celtic crow a while ago I created a spell to help me find out what my spirit animal was. I found it was a crow, which is why my magick name is Celtic Crow. Sometime after that I dreamt that I was flying in the sky as if I was a crow. I believe that I also lived the life as a crow, I'm not sure.
DOVE
*
    I also have dreams about being a small white dove in a palace of some sort. It is very ornate and pretty. I am in a jade cage. A Chinese looking lady comes in and picks me up and lets me fly through some woods nearby. I remember being called chi'ao (I'm not sure if that is it.)

CAT/Feline Memories
 

DOG
*
    My life was saved when I was 2 or 3 years of age by a black cocker spaniel that pushed me out of the way of an oncoming car when I was in the street or about to cross the street. My mother related this story to me and said it was as if the spaniel was intuitive and knew that it had to sacrifice itself for me.ÝAlthough we rarely had pets in the house when I was growing up, my mother was sensitive to dander and fur, I always had a fondness for dogs particularly.ÝA friend's dog who was normally very suspicious of any nonfamily strangers, took an abnormally kind liking to me and would sit at my feet when I visited.Ý I also noticed that when a dog was barking at me, I would quietly speak to them inside my mind and they would back off or stop barking.
    Cats eschew me briefly and stare at me.  No kidding, they do... my sisters have two cats that do that to me whenever I am at their place.
   I have to tell you a strange story when I was a kid... my friend next door, Terry, had a cat that liked dog biscuits (milkbones) and she used to snack on them after school, and I would love them more than she did.Ý I wonder if she was an animal too before? We got along famously and I miss her (she moved away and we never quite connected after our teens).Ý But I feel like I will see her again, maybe not in this form.
    Strange?Ý Whenever I have told anyone of this stuff they just think I'm looney... Thanks for listening, Maureen

<>CAMEL
*
I came across your site and I have not done research on past lives, but I suspect I have had a few. I used to think I was just crazy. Not exactly the first animal I would pick to be, but I have a respect for them now...
    I was 11 and in a bead store with my family. The beads were exotic and from everywhere around the world. I touched some beads that we too irresistible not to touch. One I touched and a shooting pain went up my arm. I tested it in the other arm and same thing occurred. After testing on different ones that LOOKED like it, and nothing, I asked the saleswoman " What is this bead made of?" she replies "Camel bone". 
    On a separate occasion, within 10 years of this, I also had a dream. I was seeing through big eyelashes eyes at desert. I felt my myself as a camel. I was led by a man in desert robes by a rope. I saw a simple walled structure made of clay or mud. I was led around to where there lay dead flesh including my own kind. I was killed by another man there with a large knife/sword. I get the feeling it was not for meat. Not for sacrifice. But sheer malice or population control, culling? I do remember feeling I had lived as that camel, and I was not scared, and I knew what was going to happen to me.
    Thank You for the chance for people to tell their stories. - Camel

FISH
*
    I am 14, due to turn 15 at the end of the month, at which time I will be getting a Betta fish for my
birthday. I have always felt "at one" with animals, and my future fish is no exception. He has come to me in my dreams many times, and I believe I knew him in a past life; in fact, I think we were married. He has chosen the name "Rocket", which is a beautiful name, and he will be dark blue. Rocket says that when he comes, he will help me with my past lives with him. Since I never really liked people, I think Rocket has chosen to come in a form I will accept, although he once said "I know not what I am on the outside, only who I am on the inside." Jen

Wolf Memories

Unspecific
*
    I remember running thought a forest with big trees and running through the foliage. I was running fast.  Too fast to be on two legs.  I was on four.  I could smell the earth and the wind and I felt so alive.  I was giving chase to something.  I was hunting and I was hungry, really, really hungry. And it felt so good to be alive and to run and not be tired. I very seldom get that feeling today.  Some witches I know do not believe that we can be reincarnated as animals but because of this memory I do.  Definitely. I am not sure what kind of animal I was.  I am thinking either a big, wild cat, or a wolf.  And the characteristics from that life have definitely carried on into this one.  That's karma for ya. - Centerwind
