Ted Andrews' Animal-Speak, published by Llewellyn in 1993, is a popular new-age handbook rather than a scholarly or traditional source. Its strength is that it is the book most responsible for the modern spirit animal genre and is useful as evidence of that genre's own content and vocabulary. Its limit is that it does not represent any single tradition's own animal symbolism and should never be cited as if it did.
