Okay, so today I wanna talk about this whole “coyote spirit” thing I’ve been messing around with. I saw some stuff online about it and thought, “Why not?” So here’s how it went down.
First off, I tried to get my head quiet. You know, meditation. Sat down, closed my eyes, and tried to picture this coyote in my mind. I read somewhere that helps to invite the coyote’s guidance. It wasn’t easy, my mind kept wandering, thinking about what I wanted for dinner later and other useless stuff. But I kept at it, trying to focus on the image of a coyote, its fur, its eyes, the whole deal.
Next, I got a little crafty. I made this altar thingy. Found some random stuff that felt “coyote-ish” – a feather, a cool-looking rock, a picture of a coyote I printed out. I even left out some food, though I doubt any real coyotes were gonna show up in my living room. I read somewhere to make food offerings. It felt a bit silly, but I figured, “When in Rome, right?”
- Spent some time just sitting by the altar, trying to feel some kind of connection.
- Did some more meditating, trying to clear my head and be open to whatever.
Then I tried something even weirder – howling. Yeah, I stood in my backyard and howled like a coyote. My neighbors probably thought I’d lost it. But it was actually kind of fun, letting loose like that. I think that’s what they meant by “injecting playfulness” into my life, as I read somewhere.
I also tried to just be more aware of nature. Went for a walk in the park, paid attention to the birds, the trees, the whole vibe. Trying to feel connected to something bigger than myself, you know? I even read that when a coyote crosses your path, it’s rarely a random occurrence. There might be 13 profound spiritual meanings. Well, I tried to follow my intuition just as the articles suggested.
Honestly, I don’t know if I really connected with any “coyote spirit.” But it was an interesting experiment. Made me think about things differently, appreciate nature a bit more, and not be afraid to look a little silly sometimes.
And I learned a bit about Native American traditions, where the coyote is seen as a trickster. I kinda like that idea, not taking things too seriously, being able to laugh at yourself, all that jazz. I tried to embrace transformation, just as I learned from what I read online.
The Takeaway
So, did I become one with the coyote spirit? Probably not. Did I have some fun and learn a few things along the way? Definitely. And maybe, just maybe, I’m a little more open to the idea that there’s more to life than just the everyday grind.

Also, by embracing the energy of the coyote, I tried to learn to adapt to new circumstances and overcome obstacles. Just like the article said, I tried to view mistakes as valuable lessons and embrace failures as stepping stones to growth. I think this is my biggest takeaway from this experience.
I even saw a coyote the other day when I was driving. I used to see this as a bad sign, but now I tried to think about the spiritual meaning behind this. I tried to trust my inner voice and follow my intuition more.
If you’re curious, give it a shot. You might surprise yourself. And hey, at the very least, you’ll have a good story to tell about that time you howled at the moon in your backyard.
