stamped .:. celtic animal symbolism theme RESTAMP
I got a lot of really great votes on this theme, but none of them quite resonated with me. I thought about why this might be so and came to the conclusion that when I submitted my application the first time, I hadn't quite thought my way through the theme properly. So I'd like to submit it again, this time with answers that better represent my perspective, and see what I get. Thanks for voting! (Oh, and the stamps I received the first time were for Goose and Butterfly.)

Would your animal be a guide or a symbol of your personality or something else? I think it would represent those things in myself that are most important to me (see answer to next question) as well as some of the ideas I cherish---rebirth, wisdom, creation, strength, protection/guardianship. It would remind me to keep those things foremost in my heart as I live my life.
What is your strongest positive trait? The word "true" sums up the core of my character: honesty, loyalty, faith, honor, a constant drive to act and think and speak in accordance with my Self, not what outer influences might be pushing or pulling me to do or think or say.
What are your main goals in life? Become a published fantasy novelist; marry and have kids; be joyful in my life.
Optional: What is your birthdate (month and day only)? August 14
Optional: What is your Western Zodiac symbol and which trait fits you best?
Tropical Western Zodiac: Leo - loyalty, faithfulness
Sidereal Western Zodiac: Cancer - nurturing, protective
Are there any animals that do not fit you at all? No more than three. Crane, Bull, Fox
Anything Else?
