The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Animal Soul

DEFINITIONS

Animal Soul:

Individual animal awareness is primarily physical and emotional, but sharing in the mental substance of the species Group Soul. It is generally believed that accumulated mental activity leads individual animals to transmigrate into the human kingdom—but only those animals such as Cats, Dogs, Elephants and Monkeys that have been in close and constant association with human “owners.”

Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
