Raccoon-medicine is the medicine of helping-friends.
There was a meme going 'round, where somebody had put up a bird-feeder or something, and they had it about 1 yard/metre off the ground, to prevent the raccoons from getting food from it..
.. a whole heap of them formed a living-ladder, so one of 'em could get at the food.
That is the brilliantest demonstration of exactly what some Indigenous religions have said about 'em, that anybody could ever ask for.
Read "Medicine Cards" by Jamie Sams, for a good survey of animal-spirits: it's reasonably accurate.
I'd add to it that upright owl-medicine is the medicine of meditation, but Indigenous religions didn't dig into that kind of thing, only inner-winds peoples did ( Asian region ).
( and anybody who goes & lives among wilderness for awhile will learn animals' natures/spirits specific to that locale, obviously )
