Option Three
Another quick and easy way of doing glucksgreife is using a box of animal crackers for the grabs. The draw-back with this method is that all possible fortunes are animal-related. If you decide to go the animal crackers route, what follows is a list of meanings based on those devised by writer Janina Renee, who came up with this innovation on the tradition:
Bear–A strongly protective symbol, and a strong Earth symbol. If you are employed in the financial sector, or are an investor, then the bear can indicate that a ‘bearish’ economic outlook is in the cards, or that you need to ‘go bearish’ at this time.
Buffalo–For Native Americans, the bison supplied a great number of their wants. Therefore, this symbol indicates you will have everything you need in the time period just ahead.
Butterfly–The Hopi saw the butterfly as a messenger of good times, the Chinese saw the butterfly as an invitation for love. Others see it as symbolic of the soul. Keep in mind that the butterfly flits from flower to flower. Now is a time to keep things light, try a wide variety of things, and not make any serious commitments.
Camel-You will have the resources to go the distance, but this also implies that you will be having to cross a desert of some kind and that there will be a distance you will have to go.
Cat (House Cat)–Your focus at this time is on your home life; you will have ample opportunity to enjoy domestic pleasures.
Caterpillar–Expect a time of transformation, but it may happen a bit later than hoped for or expected. It takes time, and a cocoon, for a caterpillar to change into a butterfly.
Circus Wagon-This could indicate a time when you are carried along with the parade. Possibly not by your choice, but you are a part of the show.
Cougar-This will be a good time period to pounce on opportunities.
Crocodile-Now is your time in the sun; enjoy the chance to bask. If you have enemies, they may not be a problem for you in this time period. No one in their right mind messes with a crocodile.
Donkey-Be careful of being too stubborn or ornery at this time. If you make an ass of yourself, bear it with grace and laugh at yourself.
Dragonfly-Summer will be a lovely, dreamy time for you, long days spent in sunshine and nature. Pleasant times on or near water.
Elephant-Traditionally a very lucky symbol, the elephant is the remover of obstacles. You will have the opportunity to move ahead, thanks to some obstacles which will be removed for you.
