Hey Bandit :)

I don't have a lot of experience in spirit animals but I do remember meeting mine in a meditation. I can't remember where I found the meditation...in a book or on the internet, but it basically was where you relax your body then imagine a place where you feel safe and ask your spirit animal to come and meet you. Then you wait until an animal appears. Maybe just ask your spirit animal to visit you in a dream? Or try meditating :)

Sorry I can't help more
