🌿 Wildly Aligned Quiz – FAQQ: Why didn’t I see animals like Wolf or Unicorn in my results?
A: The quiz highlights the 12 Totemic Love Languages, each expressed by a small group of animals. Some guides — like Wolf or Unicorn — don’t anchor a Love Language directly but appear in other ways, such as compatibility pairings, stories, or rituals. If you feel especially connected to one of these animals, trust that bond — it still has a place in your journey.Q: Can my result change over time?
A: Your core Love Language tends to stay steady, but how it shows up may shift with different relationships or life seasons. Sometimes another animal in your circle steps forward to teach you, especially during times of growth or transition.Q: What if I resonated with more than one answer?
A: That’s completely normal. Most people carry aspects of several animals. The quiz is designed to point to the Love Language that feels strongest for you right now — while the others may play supporting roles.Q: What if I don’t relate to the description I received?
A: Sometimes it takes reflection to see how your Love Language has been shaping your patterns all along. You may notice the traits show up more in the way you give love, or in what you long to receive. Sit with it for a few days and see what rings true.Q: Are these results the same as my “spirit animal”?
A: Not exactly. The Wildly Aligned system is about Totemic Love Languages — the ways you give and receive love, mirrored through animal archetypes. Your lifelong spirit animal may overlap, but this quiz reveals how your relationships express through totemic wisdom.

THE TALE OF BIG SPOON LITTLE SPOON,
Daily Love From The Wilds

Love is not just a spark.
It’s a way of holding—and being held.Big Spoon Little Spoon is the next phase of your Wildly Align Love story.
If Wildly Align reveals your animal instincts in intimacy, The Tale of Big Spoon Little Spoon helps you rest in their rhythm.
It’s about what happens in the moments in-between—when nothing needs to be solved, fixed, or pursued. Only tended.
In every sacred relationship, we alternate between two primal postures:
• The one who protects (Big Spoon)
• The one who surrenders (Little Spoon)
This is not about gender, size, or role. It’s about energy.
It’s about honoring when to lead with love and when to lean into love—in ourselves and in conscious partnership.
This chapter is your invitation to soften. To settle into the everyday magic of reciprocity, intimacy, and devotion.
