How do you know what your spirit animal is? Do you just decide on one or is there some sort of table you can reference? If I can just decide on any animal, how do I know the one I picked is indeed my spirit animal?
Sorry for all the newbie questions. I'm totally new to the concept of spirit animals and don't know how this all works.

These are good questions. I actually don't know. I just always liked foxes for some reason (they are cute and kind of a mixture of ~DogsAndCats) but I never really took this spirit animal stuff serious. Only now I looked into this thing and realized I can see myself very much in the description of them as spirit animals. This site does have a table with all kind of animals though.
Maybe you can just click on some animals you like and see if you can see yourself in the description?

I think you just have to "feel" it. However, I have a feeling that @Natalia can tell us more about this when she's back from Christmas :)

Thanks for the thorough reply.

I don't think that really works, because like you said, humans are very good with pattern recognition and will probably see bits and pieces of many of these general descriptive phrases in ourselves.
Lately, I've been feeding 2 crows that live in my neighborhood. I think they are smart and pretty cool, as they can recognize me and knows that I will feed them. They also killed 2 rats for us and would chase away other crows that try to stay in or near our yard. So the amount of bird poop on our cars and around our proerty actually decreased a bit after i started feeding them. I guess our home has become their territory. Anyways, I'm just going to claim that my spirit animal is the crow.
According to the site you shared, crows are intelligent, fearless/audacious, flexible/adaptable, related to magic and mystery of creation. But they have negative qualities like manipulative, mischief, trickster like behavior, cunning, stealing. So basically, if I'm a crow, I get to be Loki.
