What is your animal spirit for the day?:D Mine is:
[ATTACH]19912[/ATTACH]
I was
just served.
They didn't have mine, so I looked it up myself.
The Sloth
Sloth is not a nickname most people would be happy about. Slow moving and unenergetic are its main traits. It spends it life just “hanging out”. The algae growing on its fur gives it a green color that acts like camouflage. So what might seem like a giant clump of leaves hanging from a branch in the rainforest canopy may really turn out to be a sloth.
I clicked, then felt ashamed.
I was an owl, but I can't bring myself to post it.
I suppose it makes as much sense as any other divination method. The sad thing if this is aimed at people who really believe it.
Well it's a good thing this thread was posted in all seriousness then. ;) You take your online spirit animal daily horoscope srsly..or get out!! lol!!!
Actuallym it was more that it lead me to check out my online tarot card reading. Which had so many mis-spellings I finally woke up to what I was doing.
Thank goodness for that, or I'd probably be on the line to a psychic at £10 a minute by now :eek:
Yeah! I lucked out and am keeping my first try...:p
Cougar
Cougar has long been associated with leadership. Cougars are powerful, agile, and unhesitating. When Cougar attacks, he throws one hundred percent of himself into the pursuit. Although cougar is strong, he is also elusive —hard to spot in the wild—until he decides to pounce. His lesson to you today is one of being a balanced leader—not rushing into the attack, not always lurking in the brush.
.....and
Your Native American Name Is...
Etenia Cocheta

What's Your Native American Name?
Hey I'm RICH!

I am a rich freakin' strange badger today!!!I clicked, then felt ashamed.
I was an owl, but I can't bring myself to post it.

An Owl would be awesome! Why the sad face? :D
Ha, funny considering I went deer hunting today (sorry to anyone who may pull a deer, nothing personal)
Buffalo
Buffalo has come snorting into your life today to bring a message of great hope. Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him—but he also gave his spirit. And, it's that spirit of hope, abundance, and a bright future that he brings to you today. If you are experiencing a troubled journey, help is here.

Interesting that you should be Buffalo, Merc.
Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him—but he also gave his spirit.
Your spirit animal "gave himself" almost to the point of extinction. No wonder you are wary of taxes :)
I think it's the armadillos wearing him down.:)
I think it's the armadillos wearing him down.:)
Yea, I never did get the little bugger. His days are numbered.
SG, I would have a hard time getting many here to believe that the Buffalo, given the description is quite fitting on many levels. I mean if you believe that animals have spirits, and I do.
Merc I don't doubt for a second that you'd give everything you had to those you love. It was the outsiders who decimated the herds that I was referring to.
All for funsies anyway.

Yea, just for fun. I do a lot of things for others as well. We donate thousands a year to various causes. I have even been known to send the Cellar a ten spot (5 pound st.) every now and again. :D
I'm going to go pick UT's animal spirit for the day. He's going to love this::D
[ATTACH]19916[/ATTACH]
Sorry I'm terrible with paint....
UT our Panther Administrator!! Our fearless pussy cat. Rawr kitty cat!!
I think that joke backfired. I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable just now.
Why, I thought it was fitting. Dangerous animal lurking in the back ground. Sort of like the Cellar is his hunting ground. Eliminating the weak and spamers. :D
My spirit animal is the Oyster.
I'd rather go on an actual vision quest to find my actual spirit animal.
'cause I'd like to know what it is and where the hell it's been when I need advice!
Your Animal Spirit for Today
October 18, 2008
Heron
Is your life in a state of balance? If not, long-legged Heron has flown in today to help you. Because Heron is a water bird, he is most often associated with emotions. He stands motionless, almost in a trance, his body mirrored in the water below. Take a few moments today to be like Heron—be quiet, go within, and discover the answer to your questions.
Of course, nice as herons are, they aren't my totem.
now, that native american name gadget was on to something ...
Your Native American Name Is...
Makkitotosimew Mai
Your name means: Large Breasted Coyote
I'd rather go on an actual vision quest to find my actual spirit animal.
'cause I'd like to know what it is and where the hell it's been when I need advice!
I've done that. betcha can't guess what it is ...
A hummingbird?!
Hummingbird
Sorrow and worry have no place in your life today, as Hummingbird's message is one of absolute joy. Hummer's darting movements, flashes of brilliant reds and greens, and unmistakable whirr are all guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of even the most dour among us. If live has been difficult of late, know that joy is whirring your way.
My Native American name: Magaskawee Pakuna
Your name means: Graceful Deer Jumping Downhill
So. I'm a Graceful Deer Jumping Downhill to catch the Hummingbird of Joy.
H'OKay.
Green Man
Green Man peers out of the foliage to remind you that not all of life's mysteries have logical solutions. Be open to magical opportunities, spirit allies, and unconventional paths. Get out into the wilderness, ground yourself in meditation, and listen for Green Man's wisdom. You may just catch sight of him eyeing you in his leafy camouflage.
A hummingbird?!
With his jewel-like colors and ability to fly forwards, backwards, and sideways, hummingbird is understood to be a strong warrior totem. The little guys mean a lot.
Is that supposed to make me feel better coz I'm not a large-breasted coyote? Coz, lemme tell ya, it's cold comfort not being a large-breasted thing. Cold comfort, indeed.
Your Animal Spirit for Today
October 18, 2008
Polar Bear
Has Polar Bear lumbered into your reading? If so, he's reminding you of the value of being flexible. Polar Bear instinctively knows how to conserve his energy and will observe a situation before he takes action. Once he decide it's the appropriate time to move forward, however, he has the strength, energy, and fortitude to face whatever dangers lie ahead. Having problems making a change? Polar Bear is here to help, and his message to you is: Take heart, have courage, build your strength, then MOVE!
yes, I will be conserving my energy today.
I tried to cheat and get something else but I got this twice so it wins out.
Rabbit
Poor Rabbit! No other animal is so associated with fear than Rabbit—that nervous little bunny who hops and leaps at every little sound. Rabbit has come to you today to ask you to have the courage to face whatever difficulties you’re having instead of running away to a safe burrow. Face your fears, examine your old “fight or flight” patterns, and determine once and for all to stop hiding away.
My native american name:
Takhi Keezheekoni
Your name means: Cold Burning Fire
Fun site cic, thanks.Well, heck...a rabbits survival is totally dependent on its ability to out run what it fears!
Unless you are this guy...
[youtube]_Ez5QPW-ku4[/youtube]
My Native American Name is: Takhi Pauwau
My name means: Cold Witch
Boy they got that wrong!
Since Case is probably going to be too busy to join us (moving into a fancy mountain home and all), I have taken the liberty, once again, :D to choose for her. Boy, I guess she is lucky today:
[ATTACH]19922[/ATTACH]
wow pico! great stupid bunny.:thumbsup:
That bunny is awesome. Do you reckon it lived or copped a bit of poison in that exchange?
My native american name is
Alsoomse Keezheekoni
Your name means: Independent Burning Fire
Here's my daily critter:
Porcupine
Porcupine has appeared in your reading today to bring a message of innocence and trust. Although Porcupine can throw quills when cornered, he is gentle, loving, and non-aggressive. Is there an area of your life that need Porcupine energy? Have you lost the ability to trust??
LMAO. I just put in my first middle and maiden name and got this name:
Makawee Tolinka
Your name means: Mothering Flapping Ear of a Coyote
WTF????? :lol:

[ATTACH]19922[/ATTACH]
And I just now saw this. Thanks for being in a good mood that day, Cic. :D
The Crane
Cranes have been revered for centuries in many Oriental cultures, symbolizing good fortune and long life. If Crane has flown into your reading today, he brings a message of good tidings. Be prepared for something special today—emotional balance, good health, a spiritual “ah-ha!”, or simply pure joy.
Native american:
Talutha Mika
Your name means: Blood Red Intelligent Raccoon
Buffalo
Buffalo has come snorting into your life today to bring a message of great hope. Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him—but he also gave his spirit. And, it's that spirit of hope, abundance, and a bright future that he brings to you today. If you are experiencing a troubled journey, help is here.
Antelope
Antelope medicine is one of right action. If you were to visit Northern Plains today, you would see groups of antelope scattered about the fields and hills. However they are so quiet and unmoving that (from a distance) they resemble stones. But, get too close and they move like lightening. Antelope asks you: are you being still when you should be moving, or moving when stillness is required?
But really I'm an elephant
:D For today:
[ATTACH]22335[/ATTACH]
Magpie
Ancient culture associate Magpies with excellent fortune—so it looks like you’ve got something really terrific coming into your life today. However, you may need to search a little to understand the true gift that’s being presented. Pay attention to omens, messages, the clouds, feathers, bird song—your fortune is hidden in those subtle messages. Opportunity is knocking at your door—will you answer?
I pulled mine. It was butterfly. which is pretty complete bullshit. Pretty tacky site. :-)
I'll stick with Turtle, which I discovered last Labor Day weekend, after spending freaking *years* trying to divine my totem. It fits me.
That's just an Energy O' The Day reading, els.
I think you're right on the Turtle.
Not technically an animal:
Green Woman
Green Woman has magically floated into your life to remind you of the energy of fertility--fertility for a project, a garden, a love affair or conception. If there is fertile ground, it WILL bear fruit. Green Woman encourages you to practice your own brand of magic, and to appreciate the talents you have that will, in the near future, give birth to a magical creation.
I picked a Squirrel. :D I LOVE squirrels! Not my totem animal, but it is definitely one that I draw on sometimes because I have something to learn.
I needed a little animal spirit today: It's our state bird, too.
Wake up! Cardinal is chirping at you—bringing a message of personal power. Stop shrinking from your destiny. Stop pretending that you are less than. If you are unsure of your path, ask Cardinal to fly with you—it’s certain he will help you focus, gain clarity, formulate a plan, become self-assured, and step out into the world with the confidence befitting a person of your power.
looks like I'm in for a great day.....
[ATTACH]22437[/ATTACH]
OH COOL! I drew a Raven today! I LOVE Ravens!!!
Raven
Raven has long been known as the magical bird—the one who carries our messages and our prayers to spirit. Raven has been called a shape-shifter, and his message to you today is one of change—expect the unexpected, but know that Raven is flying close and will help you transform life’s challenges into life’s greatest blessings.
Cougar
Cougar has long been associated with leadership. Cougars are powerful, agile, and unhesitating. When Cougar attacks, he throws one hundred percent of himself into the pursuit. Although cougar is strong, he is also elusive —hard to spot in the wild—until he decides to pounce. His lesson to you today is one of being a balanced leader—not rushing into the attack, not always lurking in the brush.
I am a Coyote today.
"Taking yourself too seriously? If you are, Coyote will throw a banana peel in your tracks just to see you take a silly spill. Coyote medicine is Trickster medicine—the practical joker, the chaos maker. If Coyote appeared in your reading today, be ready for a curveball thrown in your direction. Remember, though, Coyote uses the bizarre to help us learn lessons we just can't seem to get any other way."
It's always the bizarre with me.
I choose Matt Damon as my totem...pole. ;)
Buffalo
Buffalo has come snorting into your life today to bring a message of great hope. Buffalo sacrificed every part of his physical body to support those who hunted him—but he also gave his spirit. And, it's that spirit of hope, abundance, and a bright future that he brings to you today. If you are experiencing a troubled journey, help is here.
This is cool. I really like this. :)
funny ... for a change I got one that's actually my totem.
Hawk
Hawk flies into your reading today to bring you an important message. It may come in the mail, e-mail, a casual remark at the grocery store, a randomly selected page in a book, or even a phrase heard on the radio. Be alert, as hawk messages can sometimes be delivered in a subtle fashion.
I was just punted in the cu*** by my spirit animal...Sounds about right........Evil. That was evil....lol
Don't get the "mockingbird" it isn't is pretty as it sounds.
Who Who?
Owl
Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the “night eagle”—the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience—the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.
I doubt this will surprise anyone:
Turkey
Has turkey gobbled his way into your life today? If so he brings a message of sacrificing for the greater good. To some indigenous tribes, Turkey represents the spirit of the giveaway--a ceremony where those who have more give to those who have less, thus "sacrificing" for others. If Turkey helps you feel the spirit of giving, who can you help?
Get Another ReadingPolar Bear
Has Polar Bear lumbered into your reading? If so, he's reminding you of the value of being flexible.

I'm going out tonight.....
[ATTACH]22629[/ATTACH]
:lol: Look what the heck I got today! WTF? I like the grammar, too.
Sasquatch
Is Big Foot real or a hoax? It doesn't really matter, because he has ambled into your reading to remind you of life's mysteries. Not everything can be explained, not everything can be touched—but that doesn't mean it don't exist. Suspend your logic for a bit, and be open to the mystery.
heh! I got sasquatch too. :D
Wolf
Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you’re giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance—and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.

The Crow
Crow is always on the alert for trouble—and their loud caws! warn each other of impending danger, Very little escapes Crow’s keen vision—which is why many cultures associate Crow with the keeper of knowledge. Crow has flapped his way into your life today to bring a message of watchfulness—have you built your nest high enough to really understand what’s going on around you?

I got wolf again today. :) I love wolves.
I swear this is getting creepy how right on some of these draws have been. The other day I drew a card (can't remember exactly which animal it was, I think it was moose) that told me not to pretend I didn't know how something was going to go. Of course I didn't what it was talking about until the next day. And then I drew deer, which told me how to deal with said problem, which I had not been doing. Once I did, it made everything so much easier.
Deer
If you can imagine Bambi, you can imagine the message Deer brings to you today—a message of sweetness, innocence, and gentle spirit. Be delicate today in your communication with other and with yourself. This is definitely not a time for being critical, mean-spirited, or sarcastic. Just as Deer's heart can be easily wounded, so can the heart of your friends, co-workers, or family members.
Today, I got FROG.
Frog
Frog Rivet! Something in your life needs cleansing, and frog is here to help. Frog is traditionally associated with rain—that powerful force of Nature that can flood, nurture, heal, or drown. If Frog appears in your reading, you're being asked to examine what is stagnating in your life—then ask Frog to help you let it go. Need to cry? Jump in the shower and let Frog Medicine do its work.

Oh, I haven't done this in a while. I was kind of hoping for a frog because I'm feeling pretty froggy today ;), but this is even better for me; a friend said something very similar to me recently:
Are you dreaming a dream that's big enough? If Lizard has appeared before you today, the gauntlet has been thrown down, the challenge made. Stop hiding your light beneath a rock—be willing to be bigger than life, to dream bigger than your imagination, to throw caution to the wind, and aim for the target you've spent a lifetime avoiding.
Oh Shawnee, that reminds me of this speech that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE...
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
ME TOO. I had it hanging up at my old job and packed it away and just never got back to it. It's Nelson Mandela, right?
I love that. I've read it so many times, and as I read your post it all came flooding back. Thanks for that, sugarpop. :)
I don't know for sure. A friend of mine wrote it out in calligraphy with some Chinese paint technique of bamboo, and he credits it to Nelson Mandela (I have it framed and hang it on the wall as well), but when I looked it up on the internet, credit was given to Marianne Williamson (of A Course in Miracles).
Hmmm, I think I had read that too and of course one of them was wrong. Google time...
Yeah, now I remember. Depending on the source, Mandela never said a word of it or Williamson had nothing to do with it. I guess I would believe sources which refer to the passage in Return to Love by Williamson, but why is Mandela so often credited?

Dolphin
Ever watched a school of dolphins playing with each other, or with the surfers in their midst? If you have, you’ll understand the message Dolphin brings today—the message of joyful play. Dolphins are in total harmony with their environment, and practice love for each other—always helping the young, or a sick comrade. Join Dolphin’s happy community today and celebrate how much we’re all alike, instead of focusing on our differences.

I got squirrel again. :) I love squirrels.
Owl
Many cultures associate Owl with death, while others see Owl as the “night eagle”—the bird that embodies shamanism. Owl has exceptional hearing, and his medicine is one of clairaudience—the ability to hear spirit. If Owl has silently glided into your life today, he is asking you to face your own fears, and listen to the messages spirit is sending you.
This is the first time I've drawn owl. Cool. I love raptors. :)
Yesterday I got deer again. Today, since it is already today, I got rabbit, again.
Dove
Are you going through life carrying old grief, pain or hate? If so, Dove (sometimes known as Mourning Dove) encourages you to let go of your emotional baggage so that true healing can take place. It’s time to forgive, release, and move forward. And, know that healing Dove is flying right beside you.

Hawk
Hawk flies into your reading today to bring you an important message. It may come in the mail, e-mail, a casual remark at the grocery store, a randomly selected page in a book, or even a phrase heard on the radio. Be alert, as hawk messages can sometimes be delivered in a subtle fashion.

Blue Jay
Blue Jay encourages you to be a little sassy today! If there's something you've been wanting, ask for it. If there's an issue that needs confrontation, don't sweep it under the rug or Blue Jay will drag it back out into the open. One word of caution, though—Blue Jays will eat the young of other birds—so be direct, but not destructive.

I'm facing the world today as a gorrila. Sheesh.
Polar Bear
Has Polar Bear lumbered into your reading? If so, he's reminding you of the value of being flexible. Polar Bear instinctively knows how to conserve his energy and will observe a situation before he takes action.

I'd forgotten about this, sugar. THanks! So I did mine and I got the thing that is my biggest fear!
Spider
Spider represents a connection between past and future, to remind you that the web you weave today is the web you will inhabit tomorrow. Are you spinning a balanced future? Spider is also a creator, spinning stories just as easily as she does a web. Spider in your reading asks you to consider the future you are weaving—does it include your biggest dreams?
I thought for sure yours would be

A NEW CAR!
Yabbut, classic, old buddy: are you reading into the reading? ;)
Oh, and, in my head, you sounded like that guy on Price is Right: "A new CAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRR"
HA HA HA - Thats exactly what I was thinkin when I typed it
hey a good hit!
The Crane
Cranes have been revered for centuries in many Oriental cultures, symbolizing good fortune and long life. If Crane has flown into your reading today, he brings a message of good tidings. Be prepared for something special today—emotional balance, good health, a spiritual “ah-ha!”, or simply pure joy.

Armadillo
You'll never get too close to Armadillo as his hard shell will keep you at arm's length! And, if this roly-poly fellow is in your reading, he's asking YOU to examine the areas where you need a hard shell—boundaries! Do you “do” for everyone but never “do” for yourself? Or, are you being TOO sensitive, protecting yourself even when danger isn't present?

Fox
Fox medicine represents the ability to blend in. She can change colors to blend with the seasons—becoming almost invisible against a backdrop of snow or foliage. Fox also has an amazing sense of smell that enables her to sniff out dangerous situations. Be like a Fox—street smart and safety savvy—don't call attention to yourself as today is a day of watch and wait.

Panther
Panther medicine is the medicine of silence. Panther can stalk its prey in absolute silence—one of the reasons native tribes associate him with the spirit world—particularly the night. Panther can show you how to face the Shadow within and bring it out into the Light. Panther is powerful medicine—and the fact that you choose him says much about your willingness to face the unknown.
I'd forgotten about this, sugar. THanks! So I did mine and I got the thing that is my biggest fear!
I got the spider, too. Hate 'em, just hate 'em.
I just got that mo-fo again!
Spider medicine is actually a GOOD thing. Even if you hate them, drawing spider is good. :)
Hey!
Wolverine
Wolverine is thought to be a bridge between the physical and spirit worlds. He has the ability to survive in the most difficult terrains—and his message to you is of inner strength. Have you forgotten just how powerful you really are? If so, it’s time to refocus and re-dedicate—and remember that Wolverine medicine runs through your blood.

Woodpecker
Wake up! Woodpecker is tired of trying to get your attention, and will peck and peck and peck until you hear the message. You have received the answer to a major question time and again, but refuse to act on it. It's okay to ignore a solution—but be forewarned that woodpecker will keep making racket until you make some movement forward!
This doesn't sound like me at all. I have no answers to any questions, and I'm not a pecker. :D
I got the polar bear again. :)

oh well. I just like this thread I suppose. Do you want me to stop or something? I didn't realize there was a limit on posting.
no....just noticed it.....carry on...
AWESOME!
Cougar
Cougar has long been associated with leadership. Cougars are powerful, agile, and unhesitating. When Cougar attacks, he throws one hundred percent of himself into the pursuit. Although cougar is strong, he is also elusive —hard to spot in the wild—until he decides to pounce. His lesson to you today is one of being a balanced leader—not rushing into the attack, not always lurking in the brush.

Butterfly
Beautiful butterfly has fluttered into your reading to remind you of the powerful transformational energies at work in your life. If something important seems to be stagnating, know that transformation is at work just below the surface—and just like the caterpillar, the “cocooned” situation you're fretting about is about to be freed.

I like spiders...first 'un is a wolf spider...
All of a sudden I feel like something is crawling on the back of my neck...
