Hey, Jehanna: this quiz may be almost offensively inaccurate but, still. . .

[xiphias]

I get this uneasy feeling of blasphemy from this quiz, but, still. . .

Look what I came out as:


You are a Bear, intuitive and protective - the
symbol for our Mother Earth. The importance of
your role in life has long been underestimated.
You are a mighty warrior, with an instinct that
is unparalleled. Winter solstice will be your
time. Embrace your power and marry it with your
instinct. You cannot lose!

Inspiring is what you are, Air Dragon, with insight
and vitality to spare. You are a bolt of
lightning to the psyche, a freshness for the
intellect, and someone who needs to be treated
with respect. Use your insight wisely, and you
shall be rewarded, for you are the Messenger of
the Sky God.

I wasn't expecting dragons on this test -- I know nothing about druidism; maybe I should have expected them, though vaguely Asian-style dragons in the Aristotelian elements are not the sort of dragons I would think of if someone had told me to expect them -- so this result came as a bit of a shock. Invariably, when I take a test that has a dragon of some sort as one of its possible outcomes, it comes up as my first result. I don't even like dragons -- they're the mythological creatures most overused in fiction, they're completely mined out, and I don't buy into the mystique at all. Give me a manticore or a kraken or a lamia any day, except no one ever does.

Tweaking my answers makes me a blackbird. I'll accept that.

Dog... Man's best friend and also an animal of
guidance, loyalty and protection. You are a
companion to friends in this life and in the
next. You are a guardian of the Mysteries and
can lead us over the threshold into the
Goddesses realm. Protect all you hold sacred
and share your experience with those who need
it most.

And yeah, the quiz is silly and pointless. If you want animals that are significant in Celtic tradition, you want salmon, raven, horse, cow, even bees...dogs and wolves do feature in there, but their concept of why the dog was notable was not as a pet but as a watchdog or a hunting hound. You do get dragons being important in Wales, though, of course.

The quiz seems to be mish-mashing modern pagan ideas from a wide spectrum into some idea of "druid animals". Typical. Amusing that you got the Bear, though. :)

Yeah. That's basically what I thought.

You aren't the only one who is a bear. I think it was my choice of wiping out entire civilizations with a single thought. I would have associated that with a raven, but as mentioned earlier, it's a mish-mash.

"If you want animals that are significant in Celtic tradition, you want salmon, raven, horse, cow, even bees"

*said in a odd San Fernando meets Big Sur teenie girl accent*

Yeah, but bees aren't kewliz. I can't chat up a cute pagan guy by saying my spirit animal's a bee. Duh!
