Good questions...
It is in my personal belief, that these animal spirits are not different from the holy spirit... simply another part, a small branch on a big tree that extends and touches many things and many souls. The holy spirit is nt one singular thing but is omnipresent and thus can live within us and present itself in many forms...
Asking wether or not to trust animal spirits to be good or evil, is like asking wether god, the angels the saints...if they are good or evil because they all are intertwined. They are not evil, although some may have trickster personalities, it is not their intention to do harm but to teach us one lesson or another. The only totems considered evil are called "shadow totems" and in truth they aren't evil at all, they represent what we fear or revolt at the most, and in truth the things that we fear often times have more to teach to us then what we adore, it is just the lesson, what they represent, that may seem scary.
