I'm not really a religious person, given past experiences I won't get into, and I've generally lived my whole life not believing in a higher power. Last night I was doing some thinking and I realized to a certain degree I do believe in something.

I'm not sure if it falls into a "set" religion, but I realized I do have a certain belief in spirits, but not human spirits: animal spirits. Like, I believe that in certain times in my life I draw strength from different animals spirits, and I identify with certain animals. For example, when I want strength, I'd draw upon an inner animal spirit (if that makes any sense). I also believe when an animal dies its spirit goes on, but I don't believe in an afterlife for humans, nor do I practice/worship on a basis. I also believe that if one respects animals their spirits will help you, but I still eat meat and hunt (although when I hunt I eat what I hunt, I don't want to waste). There's no God I worship, only spirits.

Does this sound like a particular religion to anyone, or anyone with similar beliefs? Thank you.
