Coyote Spirit AnimalBy Elena Harris, SpiritAnimal.com Editor
The coyote totem is strikingly paradoxical and is hard to categorize. It’s a teacher
of hidden wisdom with a sense of humor, so the messages of the coyote spirit
animal may paradoxically appear in the form of a joke or trickery. Don’t be tricked
by the foolish appearances. The spirit of the coyote may remind you to not take
things too seriously and bring more balance between wisdom and playfulness.
Coyote Symbolism
The coyote often symbolizes the trickster or joker. However, its symbolism is associated with a
deep magic of life and creation. It can be considered as having the following meanings:
Jokester
Adaptability
Reveal the truth behind illusion and chaos
Playfulness
Paradoxical nature, personality difficult to categorize
Beware of the dark side of things and play on your resources
The hidden wisdom of the coyote spirit
The wisdom delivered by the coyote spirit animal is rarely direct. The way of the coyote is to teach
through ways that do not appear straightforward. It may also use subterfuge or trickery to reach its
goal or deliver its message.
Don’t be fooled by the coyote’s way: In any circumstances you encounter, no matter how pleasant
or clear they appear to be, there’s a hidden wisdom for you to reap. Be aware of the round about
ways of the coyote totem and its teachings.
Coyote spirit and not taking things seriously
If the coyote spirit animal crosses your way, you may be encouraged to not take things too
seriously. Perhaps you need to lighten up or change your perspective about an issue or matter
that has been on your mind for a while.
Call on the spirit of the coyote to support you in refreshing your perspective and lighten the weight
of circumstances. Even if the coyote is often presented in many stories as a trickster and a spirit
animal bringing complication to whoever crosses his path, it is a good reminder to keep things
simple and open up to possibilities.
Coyote totem and teachings with a sense of humor
It’s sometimes hard to grasp the wisdom of the coyote without experiencing some unsettling or
disruptive feelings. Here, serious pieces of wisdom and playfulness often go hand in hand and
appearances may be deceiving. The wisdom of the coyote may appear through a joke or what
shows as trickery.
There’s often wisdom in making fun of serious matters and letting go of certainties. Call on the
coyote to reinvigorate an appreciation of life’s wisdom through diversity and richness. This animal

totem provides his teaching with a good sense of humor.
The Coyote, the magic in life, and the unexpected
The coyote totem is symbolic of the magic in life and creation. In some traditional stories, it is
associated with the dark side of witchcraft and is considered as a bad omen. The flipside of these
negative associations is the spirit of resourcefulness and ability to survive.
When the coyote spirit animal shows up in your life, it might lead you to experience the unexpected
more fully. Surprises await you. Pay attention, you may also find piece of wisdom in the most
unexpected places. By affinity with the power of adaptability of the coyote, you may be called to be
flexible and adjust to a situation that you did not anticipate.

I saw my very first western coyote today, it has been my favorite animal since I was
a small boy. I feel grateful that she spent a few moments with me and my French
bulldog. Thanks for your time.

My best friend of 27 years passed away this year on Mother’s Day & left behind a
loving husband and 12 yr old daughter. My life has NOT been the same since that
horrible day. My best friend had cancer & she kept telling me she would go soon
and that I would have to look out for her daughter when she was gone. I really hated
when she would tell me these words, which now resonate so loudly in my mind. I
miss my friend every single day and the sadness I feel in my heart is something no
one could ever understand. I went to the cemetery yesterday to take her a small
Christmas tree & tamale and sit at her grave & visit with her. Every time I go there &
can’t help but crying & realizing how much I miss her in my life. I always ask her why
she had to go & I feel such sorrow when I am there physically. I have been going to
this cemetery for over 20 yrs now because my brother & sister are buried there
ironically enough & I also visit them. Yesterday as I drove away from my best friends
grave I stopped because I saw two coyotes looking right at me… I stopped my car
and sat there and stared at the coyotes and they stared back at me. I wasn’t afraid,
just shocked to see these two coyotes walking around in the cemetery. But also, I
stared at them as if they were speaking to me. I believe now that those coyotes
were a message from my girlfriend if not her embodied in one of them physically
telling me that all was well. I know my girlfriend would not want me to be sad about
her passing, and I feel like she is always communicating with me through animal
totems and signs around in the universe. This is how close we always had been. I
am so grateful for her life and for the messages the universe gives us if we pay
attention.

Dear Hummingbird,
My mother passed away in June 2012. Whenever I see a hummingbird I think
of her because we both loved them. In the past five weeks, I’ve come across
so many coyotes. One today near Golden Gate Bridge. I was coming down a
trail and there was a woman yelling, “hello.” I came to the bottom of the hill
and there was a woman and a coyote, the woman did not know if she should
pass in front of the coyote. When I yelled out to her, the coyotes heard me
and ran up a hill not far from me. I scattered some of my mom’s ashes near a
tree and a little while ago I went to visit the tree and when I got to the top of
the hill there was a coyote. We stared at each other for a long time.

My mom had a terminal illness and she knew she was dying. Like you, I didn’t
like it when she started to talk about things . . . she would tell me, “I will always
be with you.” I wanted her to be here in the physical not just the spiritual. But
the physical was too painful. There are many times when I feel her close and I
talk to her at the tree. Sometimes if I ask her a question, I can hear her voice
in my head answering. I can also hear her saying, “hey, little sweet-let.”
That’s what she called me. I think the coyote you saw was your friend. When
in the spirit realm, life is one. I think your friend cannot manifest as her old
self, but animals and even plants can be a conduit for the spirits.

Thank you all for your story’s. I will repay you by telling you mine. This year, 2013,
my friend and I hit a small coyote on the road. He was just in the middle of road after
a corner. He went left then right, if he would have chose a direction and took it, he
may have been alive. Maybe I should have chose a direction. Then a month later a
coyote crossed my path, then a few miles later another one. Normally I don’t see
coyotes. Then about a month later I lost my job of 13 years. It was a great job too.
I’ve been fighting depression on and off my whole life (42) and now I can’t stop
thinking about suicide. It saddens me to realize that I have no choice about leaving
this realm, even though it was I who chose it.

Perhaps losing your job is an opportunity to embrace your passions in life, you are no
longer committed to the obligation of a job. Maybe go on a trip, or an adventure, spirit
quest perhaps? Things will work out, and get better, maybe it’s just not in the way you
expected. Every single one of us is here for a reason, the world needs you, whether you
can feel that right now or not, it is true. Your energy/ soul is connected to everything and
every one, we are all star dust and we are all love, energy, life. Death is not the
solution. Everything around you loves you, I know how hard it is to feel sometimes, but
it’s always there, the trees feel you and they love you, the earth supports and provides
on every level, the animals love you and feel you, though some are definitely more aware
than others, just like humans but they all love you, whether they are conscious enough to
know they feel it or not, there is always love for a brother, we are all one, there can be no
love for ones self or for anyone or anything without that love radiating to every soul,
every aspect of existence. And just as that is true, it’s true that the immense sadness of
your choosing to leave by death, would ripple across all of existence and that sadness
would hurt every everything, not just those around you. But they would hurt the worst, no
one is better off, not them, not you. If there is pain in this realm then I would imagine
there will be pain in the next, for as I mentioned everything is intimately connected. We
need your help in that healing process, someday the energy of love will take over and
there will be understanding on every level, no judgement, no hate, because there will be
understanding and forgiving, and healing, the hurt and the sadness will be healed, but
we’re not there yet. Perhaps that is why you (and I) struggle with depression, because
the collective is hurting, and i imagine you are quite sensitive to that and it can be very
overwhelming and difficult to overcome, but you can do it, as can I, as can all of us in our
own time. Also, there is a great spirit that watches over us, call him/ her God, or whatever
you like, but he (I felt a masculine energy) loves you more than you can imagine, I know
people say that, and for a long time I didn’t believe them or feel it myself, because I did
not love myself, I was too hurt. But that love is always there, you are looked after, and
there is nothing wrong with you, you just have to let yourself believe it, which is hard. But
people make mistakes, some of them absolutely horrible, but we learn and we heal and
we can be forgiven, it only takes wanting to be. But you are energy, love, your soul is of
that Great Spirit, and all that is negative is not from him, it’s not truly you. The sadness
and the pain will not last! They are anti states of being, not in sync with what is true and
how things are meant to be. Not natural. But sometimes necessary to grow. The world
exists with many polarities, North Pole, South Pole, winter, summer, male, female, young,
old, pain and elation. Sometimes you need one to bring about the best in the other, and
sometimes i think people exist with that same polarity in themselves. But unlike the others
I listed, pain is not a natural thing, as anything not of love is not natural. Find your
calling, you absolutely have one, make the world as amazing as you can, heal, love,
yourself and others. Society is not important, just the souls in it, you are important. What
others think of you is not, as long as your following in your heart the way of love. I’m truly
begging you, don’t leave, don’t give up, I know it’s hard, but please please do for yourself
what you need, be it a trip, talking to someone, meditation, prayer, live life to the fullest!!
I hate to pull this, but a lot of people can’t, live life because you can! Make it anything
and everything you want it to be, because you can do that too, you can do anything!! I
hope you feel better, I’ll check back and see if you have responded, if not its ok but I
would love to know how you’re doing. If you wish to talk I will leave my number as this
other gentlemen did. Also… Sorry this is so damn long!

Hello James.
It appears that you missed the point of coyote. Coyote teaches us to laugh at
life’s mishaps and to remember that, above all, we are magic. Coyote proves
that there is survival and renewed hope in all circumstances. What was the
lesson in the job loss? Coyote teaches through experience. If we choose to
learn then, we can move onto the next lesson.
When I look at my life it is as though I have lived many many lives. Some of
the things took me to my knees and I believed I would never stand again. I
1/22/2014 Coyote Spirit Animal | Totem Meaning
http://www.spiritanimal.info/coyote-spirit-animal/ 5/15
lost my rights as an American citizen with one lesson and that one really
clobbered me.
I know what its like to contemplate ending things. And then something
happens that makes me smile. The funny thing is that when it feels like
everything is gone and there is nothing left, I look around and there I am.
That tells me that I am more than the things I have/had. That is the magic.
I hope this helps. I am a coyote person.
Feel free to contact me as I work with healing people in all states and with all
diseases.

*Last night my car broke down after seeing The Hobbit part 2 with friends. I drove to
meet them there, and needed a battery jump after the movie let out around
midnight. Every few miles on the interstate my car would brake down again, and my
friends would have to circle the exit and back around to jump the battery before the
alternator problem took over again. I knew there was something wrong with that
general area of the car as the dash lights, my memory, and my intuition told me this,
but I drove to the movie anyway… My patience was waning fast, I was blaming
myself, I was tired, I was cold, my finger tip hurt annoyingly where I cut the nail way
too low, and at the exit for my house, it broke down one last time before I could get it
up the last two streets to my house. I was beginning to get angry with my friends?
Standing there on the edge of an interstate bridge in my chilly mountain town alone
and waiting for my friends again, I looked across the street at the dimly lit church
parking lot behind me as this lone coyote crossed silently under the amber glow of
the street light and then back through the treeline and into the woods. I just knew.
This wasn’t just your everyday car problem.

I was on my way home from 3-Wheeling in my back yard and the woods around me
and I thought something was following me. I knew, actually. I turned around and
looked frantically because I had never done such a thing at night like I had that day.
I couldn’t find my way home and I was scared. I rode my 3-wheeler for an hour and
still had that cold black shadow following me. Before long, I ended up slamming on
my breaks at the sight of bright yellow eyes flashing from my head lights on my 3-
wheeler, and flipped the thing over myself. I had layed their for quite a few minutes
before those eyes came towards me, and I saw that it was a coyote. I remembered
that coyote’s were more afraid of us then we were of them so I began yelling but it
still came forward. In the light of the moon, I was able to see the coyote as it came to
my face. Grey and orange tips were the color of it’s fur and I even saw a black star
on its chest, and it spoke to me. Not physically, not emotionally, but mentally. In my
head I heard, “Do not give up child, for the power within you lies in the shadow of
your soul. Keep your head up high and don’t let this thing stop you from going
home.” and I pushed my 3-wheeler off of me. I rode it home, but not just home, I was
following the coyote, and it led me out. I was home and it was still daylight out. I think
it was a dream, but every time I go 3-wheeling now, I see the coyote, and know, that
because of it, I am alive.

On my way home this evening, I was getting a ride, and we were driving along and I spotted
something on the road. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was…once we got closer I realized that
I was looking into the eyes, which were “glowing” from the head lights, of a dead coyote on the
road. No one else saw it, and I was in a bit of a state of shock for awhile…I felt very unsettled
right into the pit of my stomach, and I can’t get the image out of my mind. I’m sure this was an
omen of some kind, but I am having troubles figuring it out. Can anyone help me?

I just saw a coyote tonight, as it dashed right in front of my car, driving down a 45
mph, busy street. I’ve never had one cross my path before! I’ve been struggling with
a lot of issues, and yes, I’ve been taking things way too seriously, and responding
poorly, to boot. I need to lighten up on myself and view my situation with a different
lens. I knew that this coyote crossing my path (he was an inch away from getting
hit!) meant something. I felt it in my gut. It’s time for change…this much I know.
Funny how the Universe sends you these hints in such forms…so amazing and
intriguing…

Five years ago this week, my brother-in-law died after a long, difficult illness.
He’d spent three months in an ICU, suffering from complications of cancer
treatments which prevented him from breathing on his own. We spent time
with him as a family the last morning of his life, when it was decided to
withdraw life support and allow him to pass with the assistance of palliative
care. It would be a few hours before his physicians could make all the
arrangements for this to be possible.
A light snow was falling as I drove home in the pre-dawn hours to catch a
couple hours of sleep, my exhausted husband asleep in the passenger seat
beside me. Suddenly, a coyote ran in front of my car from left to right; he
made it across the road before I could even touch my brakes. We drove the
rest of the way home without incident. We returned to the hospital later that
morning.
Bob died about 12 hours later, comfortably and surrounded by his family
I thought about this at the time, and in the years which have followed.
Coyotes have acute hearing; this animal would have been aware of an
approaching car on a deserted road well before our paths intersected. I will
always believe that this coyote was a messenger from Bob. He’d always had a
wonderful sense of humor; this “trickster” was a symbol of his unencumbered
spirit, and his readiness to pass into the next world. He was sent to let me
know that all was well, and that Bob was at peace with what must come.

I saw a coyote spirit just tonight. My friend was telling me about the creatures he had seen
around our neighborhood, awful things. I was getting really depressed and scared from his
stories, and it was very dark out even for nighttime, so everywhere a streetlight was off along
the road it was extra dark. I saw a light flicker on while I was stopped at an intersection with my
friend in the car, and I instinctively pointed at the light saying, “Thanks buddy.” Next thing I
know, a coyote poked it head out from behind the electrical box near the lamppost. I almost
laughed at the sight, and I felt much better afterwards.
I’ve seen this spirit before around my neighborhood at night, always following me around when I
get worried, howling and reminding me that he’s my extra pair of eyes. It’s good to have a spirit
on your side.

I have seen this 1 coyote near my barn two mornings in a row about two
weeks ago when I go out there to feed the animals. He doesn’t run from me
right away he just stares at me. Then last night I had a dream that I was out
with my dogs and 2 coyotes kept circling us and they didn’t have eyes and
one of them have a large wound on its side. Does anyone know what this
could mean ?

So yesterday I saw a coyote while my newly pregnant girlfriend was driving me home
in the morning and again while I was driving to work about 10 hours later then again
when I was leaving work so I really think the coyote was trying to tell me something
especially considering I have never seen a coyote in real life until yesterday and
seeing it three times in one day each time the coyote was closer to me. Now this is
where I’m really confused I know that the coyote is considered a trickster but he is
also the bringer of seeds of life in the Navajo tradition. So what’s confusing me is I’m
suspecting that my pregnant girlfriend isn’t being completely truthful with me and
that the baby might not even be mine because she was with some one else a few
months before we got together. On the other hand if the coyote is the bringer of
new life is it telling me that the baby is mine.

Your addiction is a terrible problem that I have also dealt with, I am a recovering

to you that if you are already looking for the signs to get better or “good medicine”
for yours and uour bf soul, I am telling you that whatever you feel inside your heart
is a sign of a higher power. Ehether it be a sighting of an animal are just odd
coinsidences, what you described about your current situation says it all… You
Know your addiction is progressing, You know that YOU wanted to get better! Im
going to say something you definitely dont want to hear, you and your boyfriend will
NOT get clean and live normal livestogether UNLESS you both get some kind of
obvious treatment but away from each other for a while, you will continue to draw on

each others weaknesses, MAYBE youll feel like you dont want to use but he does or
he doesnt and you do. I know the feeling all to well the little itch that cant be
scratched, I think the coyote is maybe a sign of the paradox nature of your
relationship, since it showed itself to both of you separately. Revealing the truth
behind the illusion and caos of _________….. you fill in the blank, your relationship,
your addiction….. Now from my personal experience I became addicted to pills at 19
heroin at 20 and anything I could try from there. I was an honor student very bright
and beautiful, by age 21 I had been aressted 12 times for larceny to driving under
the influence, then spent 3 months in prison and 7 months after that in a treatment
program, this is where things get stupid aftrr that clean time I amounted from lock up
and rehab I eent back to my hometown back to my boyfriend and decided to get
back on heroin one night together we were not happy together anymore because
the fun and excitment we had using together couldnt be surmounted by sitting at
home like a normal human being , and im not going to lie it was relieving to hear him
say lets take a ride to the city, because I was thinking it the whole time, back on it
again clean for a year and within one week I was back with the aches and pains of
withdrawl, we were each others trigger BOTTOMLINE! You know how this story goes
and if you dont I wound up using from age 23 to age 25 so 18 to 25 with a clean
year in there somewhere. And that bf…. who know still using I guess, I have a great
man I met in treatment after being clean for a year, life will give you what you need
at the right time, the coyote is the shapshifter and wants you to maybe know that
you can change too but change doesnt come easily or free you will hsve to sacrifice
something or things, it took me 7 yrs please dont make same mistakes I missed out
on sooo much growing and learning stunted by the drug! Goodluck♡

This is bizarre. I lead a guided meditation with a client and felt a coyote’s presence. I
mentioned that an animal just came in, but didn’t mention it the coyote to the client.
Hours later, I had a car accident and believe that I hit a coyote on a highway. For
some reason, I felt deep gratitude to it sacrificing its life to teach me something. But
what? I spoke with my client today and told her about the accident. Unsolicited, she
told me that during the meditation hours before the accident, she saw a coyote
during the meditation. We both saw coyotes without telling the other, then I hit one?
What could the message be? I feel it appeared to protect me from something more
dangerous. My car is out of commission for weeks. Anyone willing to guess? I also

yes, you may want to look at why you didn’t mention that the animal
you felt was a coyote…this blockage to the truth is just the type of thing
that coyote medicine likes to free-up with a lesson. Often their medicine
seems to affect our ‘vehicles’–the ways that we move through life. Such
powerful medicine.

Coyote spirit is ultimately a lover. It wants the best for everybody. In reading
these posts, I’ve noticed that many, many people have had the experience of
hitting Coyote with a vehicle; and they and wondering about the inherent
message. “All y’all need to slow down your driving.” seems to be the
message. And if you simply cannot find yourself willing to ease off the gas
peddle, learn to honk your horn at animals in danger; they often respond to
to a car horn, it seems moreso than to the visual cues of a moving vehicle.
Just saying…..

This is a funny animal for me too get. Whenever somebody describes me they say
stuff like how I am loud, hyper, and love to joke around. This is ironic because I
have been struggling with depression for years now. Its odd that my “spirit animal” is
also the trickster and the bringer of great wisdom at the same time. To look beyond
what is clear and easy to see it a great challenge. None of my “friends” have ever
managed this. I always try and make a point to look behind peoples masks and I
think I fail more times than not, but to even bother to attempt this, even when you
don’t manage to see things as the really are. Thats the things that define us.

My boyfriend and I have been struggling with alcohol/drug addiction lately, since the
summer more with drug addiction and have been hiding it from family members as
well as friends. We’ve been going through a really rough time and want to quit. It
seems this drug of choice has us in it’s grips and no matter what we do to stay
sober, we fall back into this addiction hitting so many bottoms I cannot count! A few
days ago, in the early morning hours on one of our runs, my bf went to the
payphone to order up more drugs and just as he stepped out and walked down the
side walk did he see a coyote pass him, the coyote glanced his way but really didn’t
pay to much attention and carried on it’s way. Anyway just this morning as we were
at it again (drugs), I was getting up to go inside from the belcony and I spotted a
coyote diagonally across from me on the other side of the street as I seen the
animal it looked up and met my eyes,it didn’t look away until I went inside. We live in
the city, particularily in a rainforest near the pacific, so this could just maybe be us
seeing a coyote in it’s natural habitat or maybe these two sitings have something to
do with the dark lives we’re leading.. Anyway I had this urge iside of me to look up

one foot in front of the other, one day at a time till you find another

I was riding my motorcycle home from Cape Cod, it was very early on a Sunday
morning, zero traffic, for some reason, I felt because it was so isolated it was ok to
stop in the middle of the road to set my xm radio and mp3 player before my ride got
non stop. A three legged coyote walked out of the woods right beside me and
looked as surprised as I was. It was healthy and strong, we just stared at each other
until it turned around and went back in the trees. I never do unsafe stuff like that on
a bike or ever, I always wonder what made me stop and stand in the middle of the
road exactly in that spot so early in the am, to meet a three legged coyote? Wow.

In 2012 I was in a car with a guy he was supposed to be my boyfriend, but he was
just a liar anyway right after we had sex for the first time I saw a coyote run past as
the jerk was falling asleep in the car. I knew it meant something when I saw the
coyote I even tried to get my now ex to look but he never saw it because it was so
quick it disappear down the street then several days later I. found out I had
herpes………. yep………… I lived with that issue for over a year and will never
forget it because I remember seeing the coyote when I was doing something I had
no business doing. However truth be told God has healed me of herpes I love Him
so much for sparing me and for healing me this is no joke. Trust me I wish I were
lying I suffered for a long time but I am glad I’m not dealing with that disease
anymore. Nevertheless I will never ever forget that mainly because of sign from that
coyote that night .

Just this evening, I was driving home from work. It was about 12:45 at night, and
there was no one else on the freeway. A coyote came running out swiftly, and
crossed my path, and I had no time to react. He was the same color as the asphalt
and it happened in an instant. I hit him with my car, even though I swerved to try and

miss him. Luckily I did not hurt myself and did not lose control of my vehicle.
However, the coyote was NOT OK. I went back to make sure it was a coyote and not
a dog. And also to see if he had any life left in him. Sadly there was blood
everywhere. I cried immediately and did not know what to do. Talking about this with
friends I was led to this site. I do not know what it means when a coyote crosses my
path and I kill it with my car by mistake. I lit a candle as soon as I was home. Asking
for forgiveness and wishing it safe passage to the next life. I am Native American as
well, so this really affected me deeply.

as the animal represents illusion and the possibilities of not taking things too
seriously… I sense you already know that all life is eternal, the coyote simply
left his body. Being dead or done is the illusion. open up to the life eternal,
even in your everyday and especially in your everyday experience. Not to
make little of our life in body but to see it as transient changing and eternal. I
also believe that the coyote spirit is now your guardian spirit. It is your helper,
and you will be able to help others with its medicne. Take heart in the circle of
life. your tears do not go unseen unoticed, spirit loves you back. blessings.

This was one of the most touching replies to what happened the other
night. This really moved me. A friend of mine said he knows how
coyotes work, and what happened was not a mistake and should not
be seen as a negative but more like a positive, that I probably helped
the coyote as much as he is helping me. And then the very next night,
he also saw a coyote run across a very populated area of the city in
the middle of the night. So many things that line up just right and I think
the positive outlooks on this, are the ones that feel the most correct.
Thank you for this perspective.

A couple years back I had a Chihuahua that I named Bats. (I
named her after Batman). She had a litter of beautiful puppies
with my other Chihuahua, Dirk. (I named him after Dirk Diggler as
well as the fact that Dirk was a German name and I wanted it to
be German). I lived in the country and one night I let the dogs
out as usual but I had to run back into the house to get
something..I don’t remember what it was… Next thing I know,
she’s gone. I know it was a coyote that killed her, and I never did
find her body. Bat symbolism- death and rebirth. Coyote
symbolism- jokester; and revealing wisdom and truth in a
dark/playful/tricky kind of way. How did I connect it? Batman and
the Joker of course.
No judgment, no fear. I love you all.

It is good that coyote’s death affected you. Never lose that. Stay connected to
all of life and seek meaning in it. Do not think of me as dead or gone… spirit
never dies. You were delayed by me and the accident. THAT was all I needed
to do to change what otherwise would have happened… so, you see? All is
forgiven. Stay true!

my best friend and I had a falling out a few years ago. We made up recently and
were seeing each other for the first time. We were driving and talking and laughing
when we saw two cyotoes in the road ahead of us. as I slowed down not to hit them
they were running in opposite directions, then looked at us and started running
together off into the woods. what an amazing experience. such symbolisum.

My friend, and i where riding our bike through the wood when we got lost we decide
to leave and go back in. while going back in right in front of us was pack of 8-12 big
coyotes were right there. My friend said lets go as he rode back out. I want to get
closer so i started getting closer, and the started coming towards me the leader
much larger than the other in the front. I decide the i should get out to i was on a
road going into the woods the had a fence behind me that we had crossed. When i
got back to my friend i looked back and the street light that was lighting them up
shut off. When we where riding my friend said take this turn and as he was saying
right at that turn the pack appeared in front of us about 100ft away.

Yes I imagine it deffinatley meant something! Sounds like an amazing
experience! Maybe they were trying to trick you? You must have felt
scared, but they did not attack. Maybe they are trying to change who
you are or set you on a course to a greater path in life

This morning my mind was running its tapes over issues when I took my coffee and
stood by the door. Right away I saw a large, healthy Coyote hunting gophers and
bouncing/pouncing in a patch of brush. Quietly with my field glasses I went to the
patio and watched. What I found was she had a pup hidden in the grass and was
teaching it the ways of the hunt. What a blessing to be in the moment and gifted by
these beings… whatever their message may be.

I was thinking about coyotes a couple of miles before I saw one last night. It crossed my path in
the road…I stopped…it stopped…then went on across…I turned around and went out of my
way not to cross that path. Was I right in this? Is he telling me something?

My marriage has been a bit rocky lately with questions of infidelity and although I’m
not a spiritual man I’ve been asking and begging for a sign and the other night I was
pretty much at rock bottom and a coyote came walking up to me stopped and
looked at me and carried on without crossing my path I’m sure it was the sign that I
was looking for but what does it mean?

If you want it to mean something, El Guapo recommends you go coyote style.
Take a trip…go wet a cactus and get a tan.

I’ve been having dreams of coyotes, including shifting into one. The most recent
one was that I was in the woods, I saw a few wolf cubs, shifted into a coyote and
wandered around. Then, I came across a bear who attacked me and hunted me
down. I eventually tricked him and got away, though. Do these dreams mean
something or am I just being ridiculous?

i looked this up because yesterday me and my ex (who is my absolute
best friend in the world shares the same great love and respect for
animals as i do and who i’m trying to work things out with) found a
female coyote who got injured after falling through a bridge we did
everything we could think of but sadly there aren’t any wildlife rescue
centers around where we live so in a panic called 911 and they had to
put her down…. i just wish the asshole would’ve waited til we where far
enough away to not hear the gunshot
