I'm familiar with Ted Andrews's books, but the recent threads on animals in the Divination section have rekindled my interest in researching animal lore and spirituality. Not limited to divination or auguries -- any good source of general animal lore and symbolism is good. Any culture and tradition -- just animals and spirituality. Anyone know of any good sources?

Yay! 200 posts!
Anyway...back to the original question. You May like the book "Animal Magick? by DJ Conway. Although I aven't read it, I do like her other books, and this book might be what you are looking for.
Hope this helps!

"Totems: The Transformative Power of Your Animal Totem" by Brad Steiger is an interesting look at animals as totems with some emphasis on their meaning to those studying shamanic practices.
excerpt from a review of the book--
"In Totems, Brad Steiger doesn't dwell on any single tradition, but acknowledges the significant roles that animals play in many cultures in order to advise you about the best way your totem animal may be of assistance. Drawing on the idea that humankind is inextricably connected with nature, Steiger reveals how we can call on the resources of the animal kingdom to guide and aid us through troubled times as well as through the trials of everyday life."
