Spirit Animals, Animism, and the Occult: A Christian Warning

Animalism Exposed: When Nature Worship Opens the Door to Demonic Spirits

In recent years, the concept of spirit animals, animal totems, and honoring animal spirits has made its way into pop culture, wellness trends, and even some Christian circles. But this is not just cultural—it is spiritual deception rooted in Animalism, more commonly known as Animism.

It may sound harmless—respecting nature, finding “guidance” in animals—but behind it lies an ancient spiritual system that invites the demonic and blinds people from the truth of the Gospel.

🔍 What Is Animalism / Animism?

Animalism (Animism) is the belief that all things—animals, rivers, trees, rocks—possess a spirit or soul. It teaches that:

Every animal has a spiritual essence or consciousness
Humans can connect to, worship, or be guided by animal spirits
Certain animals (owls, wolves, eagles, serpents, etc.) carry messages or power
Spiritual harmony comes from honoring these “spirit beings”

This belief system often includes rituals, offerings, dreams, chants, or trance states to communicate with animal spirits.

🌍 Where Did It Come From?

Animalism has existed across many cultures for centuries:

African tribal religions
Native American spiritual practices
Shamanism in Asia and the Arctic
Aboriginal beliefs in Australia
Celtic paganism
Modern Wicca and New Age belief systems

These systems are not grounded in the Bible, but in a worldview where animals are seen as divine messengers, protectors, or incarnations of spirits.

🤥 What Do They Believe?

Those practicing Animism typically believe:

Animals are connected to ancestors
A person can receive power, knowledge, or healing from their spirit animal
Dreams or visions involving animals are divine messages
Certain animals carry wisdom or protection

This is a form of divination, where animals are used to predict the future, gain insight, or direct behavior.

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 (KJV) strongly warns:

“There shall not be found among you... a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord…”

👿 What Are the Demonic Manifestations?

Involvement with Animalism, whether direct or ancestral, brings demonic consequences:

Symptoms include:

Sudden animal-like behaviors (growling, hissing, crawling)
Nightmares involving animals or being chased/attacked
Fear of specific animals or obsession with them
Speaking with animals in dreams or hearing “messages” from them
Mental confusion, instability, or trance states
Spirit guides or voices that claim to be animal ancestors
Witchcraft and shamanic practices in the family line
Animalistic behaviors during deliverance sessions (snarling, violent manifestations)

Leviticus 20:6 (KJV) says:

“And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits... I will even set my face against that soul…”

This is serious. You cannot invite “animal spirits” and expect the Holy Spirit to abide with you.

🧬 What If My Ancestors Practiced It?

Even if you’ve never honored a spirit animal, your ancestors may have, and the Bible warns that these iniquities can pass down.

Exodus 20:5 (KJV):

“...visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation...”

Cultural traditions—such as honoring animal spirits during festivals, carvings, masks, or rituals—open bloodline portals. This can lead to chronic fear, spiritual confusion, or torment in your life.

🎯 What’s the Purpose of the Modality?

The purpose of Animalism is spiritual insight and power outside of God. It offers:

Comfort through ancestral “guides”
Direction in decision-making
Emotional support through imagined spirit companions
A connection to the earth and nature

But this is a counterfeit to the Holy Spirit. Only God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can lead us into truth and righteousness.

🧎 Deliverance Prayer from Animalism:

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I repent for participating in or coming into agreement with Animalism, Animism, or any form of animal spirit worship. I renounce every spirit guide, totem, animal deity, and ancestral connection tied to nature worship. I break every curse and soul tie linked to this practice in my life and bloodline. I command every demon of animalism and occult divination to leave me now in Jesus’ name. Jesus is my only guide and truth. Amen.

✝️ Final Thoughts

God created animals—He is not an animal. To honor them as gods or guides is to exchange the truth for a lie.

Romans 1:25 (KJV) warns:

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator…”

We are not animals. We are made in God’s image, called to worship Him, not creation. Review Occult and New Age checklist to identify any practices in your life or family line that may have opened doors to demonic attacks.
