Neurotic Mom's Reading

Your Animals for 2009, to help teach and guide you are:
Owl and Eagle. Eagle again appears. And more birds... lots of birds in my readings lately. Need to ponder this. I'm going to count the percentage of land/air/sea animals in this deck to look at the odds of pulling so many birds.
Anyway... to your animals.
Owl... major Wisdom here. This bird is one of survival and focus. When other birds sleep this is when Owl hunts and has a fertile hunting ground due to this. In Celtic myth Owl is one of the 5 oldest animals so there is a lot of wisdom to learn from, not just knowledge but experience. Owl also tells you to look to what is hidden and no easily seen or heard. Hidden Meaning, Senses are another message. Is there someone to act as a mentor to you? Your other animal is Eagle, Strength is very much here for you. Vision to see what you want and where you need and want to go. Eagle is a contrast to Owl in that it is a day creature. You have 24 hour protection and guidance. Eagle is looking at the Owl card. It seems to be saying use your Strength and Vision only after you have taken the time to truly examine your thoughts and possible actions.
There is so much myth and lore surrounding both of these animals I'm sure they will keep you busy this year. Looking forward to your comments.

Reading for Manda and some info for everyone.

Hi Everyone...
I'll start of by giving my impressions intuitively and then put in the book meanings at the end. Feel free to look at the rest of what the book says... click on the link to Pathfinders and from there go to downloads and you can get the book there. This will be the same format for all the readings.

Now for Manda's Reading.
Your 2009 Animals are Eagle and Puffin. This Eagle picture was difficult because it was so barren of background. You see the Eagles coming out of the blackness. Eagle has always meant strength and vision (as in visionary) to me. They are coming out of darkness to see everything. They has or are surviving something... and actually Eagles are a protected species. This will be a year of having or needing strength, and you have great help. You has some visions for you life that you will be taking steps towards this year, possibly in a spiritual or self-discovery realm. Next is Puffin. Puffins are so neat to me. Don't know much about them. I know they are an aquatic bird, as shown by the background here too. I'm not sure if they fly or not honestly. Two things stood out to me. First, the RED beak of the bird. It's the first thing noticed. The rest of the bird is black & white. You "lead with your mouth" so to speak. Speak your mind, communicate. I don't think it necessarily has to be spoken, it could be written... but get your thoughts and emotions out there. Second, the fish around the border. Puffin is a big fish eater... maybe you should be too. Lots of good nutritive value in fish, Omega-3's for example.
I noticed both of your animals are birds... though one is more aquatic. I always see air as freedom, communication, logic. There is the water let us know not to forget your emotions and to communicate those. Both are looking left, so don't forget the past... and what has led you to this point.

Ok... now the book meanings.
Eagle: Strength, Divinity, Vision, Balance, Courage
Puffin: Impulsiveness, Fidelity, Boldness

Seems I might have been a bit "off" from the book anyway, on Puffin. Boldness is communicating however seems to fit.
Please read the books stories and look the animals up for yourself.
Look forward to feedback. Just leave a comment.
