All of us have spirit guides, there are multiple ones and multiple kinds...

Guardian Angels (normal angels and arch angels)

Spirit Animals

Ancestors

Saints that watch over you

Ascended masters who watch over you and teach you

Friendly Spirits

and some beings that you conjure yourself whether you know it or not

You must learn to trust them and work WITH them for your life to go how you plan. There are numerous meditation exercises that you can do to get in touch with them if you haven't already. Sometimes, not too commonly though- they will come and appear to you when they feel the time is right and you desperately need them in that instance- this is one instance when my Spirit Wolf  (I won't reveal his name or whole situation) came to me. Basically i was 13 at the time and at school we were walking around football field. I was depressed and lonely. it felt like one thing after another with fake friends and backstabbing etc.. I just leaned on the fence and stared into the woods. Within moments a huge grey wolf that is mostly white with little dark markings right around eyes and blue eyes leapt over the fence and began walking with me. nobody could see him only me in my mind's eye but you could physically feel the energy of his presence. he comforted me, and talked with me. and eventually months later i did a vision quest to find out my spirit animal/ totem animal.. he came to me each time.  I will explain how to do this vision quest which you can alter around however you see fit to match your own life and situation.

Go into a meditative state, just relax. once you are in that state picture yourself on a cliff facing outward on the edge. feel the height, the air, the breeze. look down and see the landscape beneath you. know you are safe there. turn around and walk away from the cliff you will see a grand forest with large trees and beautiful grass. a small river passes through and flows into a pond. behind the river you see a huge stone mountain side forming a wall and there is a cave. walk around barefoot and feel the earth beneath you, feel the cool dewy grass kiss your feet and ankles as you walk. find a comfortable place to sit and just relax, look around and call out once in your mind for your spirit animal/guide/angel/etc to come to you and let you be aware of them. be patient..DO NOT THINK OF ANYTHING- DO NOT INFLUENCE YOUR VISION QUEST WITH WHAT YOU LIKE OR WHAT YOU EXPECT OR ENVISIONED IN THE PAST. DON'T LOOK FOR ANY SPECIFIC BEING!.. what divinely IS will come to you... when it does come forward and make itself known to you talk to it. ask its name and ask about what it does, why look over and help you, do you want to form a kind of friendship with it? just talk to it and listen intently to whatever it may tell you. when you feel satisfied break the focus and return to this dimension mentally. Then make, buy or find a kind of charm or token that represents that being and carry it with you, such as a necklace portraying an angel or animal, or picture drawn folded up in your wallet or mojobag. etc.
