Field Guide Spirit Guide

Field guides are a quick reference educational booklet to help identify wildlife and objects of natural occurrence. Dana Gentile creates a field guide for animals and plants that she likes to refer to as spirit guides. Animals and plants that she has seen in nature that bring up memories or that show up in her imagination while walking in the woods or spending time alone. Spirit animals are believed to be teachers or messengers that come in the form of an animal to learn about yourself or to help you have strength in a difficult situation.
