Porcupine: A Symbolic Guide Through Grief

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Porcupine Symbolism In Times of Grief

My mother-by-marriage (and mother-by-heart) passed away on Monday.

Her transition naturally triggers a chain reaction for every soul she touched in her life, including me.

It’s been numbing. Also, it’s been very telling to observe how each human copes so differently with the physical loss of our beloved.

Equally intriguing is the observance of various energies surfacing amidst raw human emotion.

Upon every encounter with physical death, the Porcupine wobbles into my presence with aplomb. It enters my awareness with a casual authority, squatty legs shuffling through my mind, my meditations, moving through my moods.

I observe those quills as I have in the past, and know with piercing clarity the ability to barb in reactive situations. So, I become mindful of my tongue & the energy I’m outputting in these moments of crude emotion. Porcupine quills are slightly snagged at the tip making them neigh impossible to remove. Once they meet their target those clever darts tend to stay put.

I keep my quills in-check these days following the death of my mother; keeping close watch on my behavior so as not to cause damage that cannot be undone.

Thankfully, those quills are multi-purpose. Did you know they serve as floating devices? Very apropos. In murky pools of turbulent emotion, I feel my energetic quills fanning out – filled with air, they keep me afloat. When waves of melancholy and morose moods threaten to overcome, Porcupine ingenuity keeps me buoyant, solvent, topside.

Also, mom’s passing and the ensuing madness are tailor-made for burrowing, something the Porcupine and I do together in silence. Retreat. Withdraw. Porc’s don’t hibernate, but they are masters at holing up until the sun chooses to show itself again.

Which reminds me, Porcupines are considered solar or fire animals in many cultures. Their quills are likened to sun rays spanning out from our solar orb. I take comfort in this, as I am reminded of the radiant nature of my mom, she was a penetrating light and a presence of compassionate warmth to all who knew her – including me.

I also find it fitting that aboriginal Nigerians paid special homage to the Porcupine, and saw the creature as a liaison to the spirit-realms. I totally dig this association. With its unassuming candor, the Porcupine is a perfect travel guide through the veils of parallel life/lives.

My Native American kin tell me the Porcupine is also an “in-between” walker. With nonchalance, it moves through shadows of life and death… straddling weird and paradoxical realities with aloof matter-of-fact’ness.

For these and many more reasons, the Porcupine has a stoic calm that proves invaluable in times of excruciating grief. This totemic guide also opens channels of curious awareness – which, in solemn pits of sorrow can be priceless.

The Porcupine delivers a childlike sense of wonder, which breathes new life in topics of death. Adjustable focus, silver linings, awe, inspiration – all effective tools for healing in times like these.

In both life and physical death the Porcupine remains a remarkably effective compatriot: A reminder, a guardian, a friend, and of course, a consummate flotation device in consumptive, emotional waves.

January Wolf Moon Symbolism

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Wolf Moon Symbolism

Native American wisdom marries every full moon in a month with a specific feature in Nature. These moon associations will vary depending upon the tribe we are honoring. This month, January is deemed the Wolf Moon or Cold Moon by various tribes indigenous to the Great Lakes region of North America.

It’s been a tough month for some of us. I thought it fitting to toss out some symbolic observations about the January Wolf Moon with a goal to offer inspiration to folks facing some challenges right now.

Lunar Symbolism:
Before blasting off into Wolf Moon symbolism, let’s take a look at lunar implications. Subtle, cunning and soft in silky shadows, the moons meanings can be slippery. But, to those who grasp moon symbolism, great insights follow. Typically feminine in archetypal understanding, the moon carries themes of cycles and fertility.

Moreover, the moon conveys a kind of creativity that is born from veiled magic. Consider the moon’s growth cycles (waxing, full, waning, new). These phases are wrought from the moon’s movement. And, the manifestation of her development is made known to us through light and shadow.

What’s the symbolic lesson here? Progress is sometimes subtle. Manifestations of evolution often occur behind the scenes, in shadow – before we “see the light” or the end-product of our vision.

When contemplating this month’s full moon and its partnership with the Wolf, we must not cram our intellect into the void. Rather, the Wolf Moon asks us to use intuitive instinct in soft ways.

The gifts of this full moon come to our senses like steam rising over sacred waters marbled with frosty stillness.

Wolf Symbolism & Wolf Moon Solutions:
Strategic, resourceful and incredibly communicative, the Wolf is a noble mentor for humankind. Wolves have specific protocol and rank within their packs. This observation is a cue to look to community for creative solutions during this full moon. Communicate with those in your pack to help you with your challenges. But don’t break taboo. If you follow specific traditions in social communication, hold to them. In fact, use this full moon to honor traditions of your heritage. Take time to honor your elders too. Tribal rituals should be heeded this time of year.

Wolves are vastly expressive. Sure, their vocalizations (baling, howling and barking) are legendary, but Wolves also have an complex system of body language and even eye contact to convey intent and current state of being. Discipline in the pack is rarely corporeal. Rather, behavior is admonished or reinforced by intricate expressions. One look from the Alpha can convey as much power as a physical blow.

There’s big medicine in this. Use this full moon to get in touch with your own modes of expression. Explore your own eye contact and body language. Examine yourself in the mirror (yes, I’m serious) as you’re talking on the phone. View yourself objectively. What are your expressions conveying? How can you modify or enhance your body language to portray more authority or power? Or, perhaps more softness and sensuality is needed. Too often we are unconscious about our eye and body movements in the scheme of social interaction. This is a great time to ponder these nuances of communication.

Wolves are also phenomenally resourceful. In fact, their resourcefulness is partly why this moon carries the Wolf moniker. January is a brutal month in the northern regions. The frigidity of winter crunches life to a stand-still in the wild. To be sure, it’s a time of “sink or swim” to all wildlife exposed to the elements this time of year.

Wolves, however, often thrive during this lean month. They are designed to handle the brutality of cold quite well. Furthermore, as Wolves are inclined to pick off weaker animals, January offers up a host of feasting options. Perhaps we can use the resourcefulness of the Wolf to reconsider our options in life. Maybe what seems bleak or lame in our life is actually an invitation for opportunity. Food for thought.

I hope these symbolic ideas about the cold Wolf Moon inspire you to take advantage of January’s lunar fullness. Take a pause on the evening of this month’s full moon to contemplate your own inner wisdom too. I bet your findings will be illuminating.

Shine on.

Sky Dogs and Horse Helpers

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Tags: Animal Totems | Native American | Horse Symbolism

My Great Grandfather, Bronze Medalist of 1932 Olympic Equestrian Events

For me, the symbolic meaning of horses is compelling because it points out the value of partnering with our animal kin for guidance, wisdom and growth.

That admiration was confirmed last week after spending hours with my dad going over his lineage. Simply put, we’re horse people.

Generation after generation the hands of my bloodline have held firm on horse reins (and mane hair before the advent of the bit).

What’s this got to do with you, who are seeking relationships between symbolic meaning and your personal life path?

Plenty, because horses, more than most creatures, exhibit a brand of stoic patience for humans and a willingness to help us in our pursuit of freedom.

Over the years, horses have stood by our sides, helped us in our plights, facilitated our goals, and offered us a kind of mobility we would have otherwise never known without their graceful countenance.

Native Americans knew this.

Sky Dog was the name given to horses by Plains tribes because prior to the mid 1600s (when visiting Spaniards accidentally let loose a few horses which eventually fell into the savvy hands of Northern American native folk) dogs served as helpers in daily work. They helped carry heavy loads by means of the travois, and facilitated an intensely nomadic way of life.

Horses effortlessly usurped these roles from the dogs, and much more. They afforded Native people freedom and opportunities as vast as the sky.

When Sky Dogs came on the scene, they shifted the entire paradigm for the Native way of life.

Most notably, horses showed a willingness to accept mankind’s dependence upon them.

For centuries, mankind has asked for their strength, and horses have nobly and generously provided.

With that in mind, I invite you to ask yourself: “Who are my Sky Dogs?”

By this I mean:

Which animals communicate with you?
What animals share and carry your burdens?
What animals offer you mobility and facilitate your highest freedom?
What kind of gratitude and acknowledgement do you extend to these animal helpers?

If you happen to be “horse people” too, you might enjoy my page on the symbolic meaning of horses here.

Fox Symbolism: A Symbolic Interpretation

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Red Fox Sighting: A Symbolic Interpretation

I was asked a question about fox symbolism. Specifically, she saw a dead fox by the back gate in her back yard, and wanted to know what the deeper meaning of this sighting was. I offer my interpretational response below in sections for ease of reading.

Introduction to Interpretation:
You are your own best interpreter. In time, you will mine the most meaningful answers from your own personal perspective.

That said, I can give you a few observations that come to me.

Firstly, I come from a mind-set of an inclusive Universe. To my way of thinking, an observerable physical death translates to nothing more than a transition – an inclusion into a different energetic language to be express differently than how it was expressed before.

Fox Messages of Transition:
From this standpoint, we can consider the condition of the fox when you found it to be a message of transition. What kind of transition?

For this, we consider some of the archetypal (symbolic) attributes of the fox:

Cleverness
Adaptability
Radiance

Can you see yourself making a transition in any of these areas? For example, a dear friend of mine had an intense need to calculate, control or manipulate people and situations. She too came upon a physically retired fox, and we pondered the ramifications. We concluded that fox was a message to transition out of her need to be overly-clever (manipulating others) to get what she wanted.

Fox Messages of Renewal:
When I speak of “radiance” I’m referring to the fox’s archetypal associations with the sun. And so, in a transitional state the fox conjures imagery of a setting sun. A daily opportunity to settle into our deepest selves for inner knowing – with the promise of daily rejuvination (rising sun) each morning. In this light, the fox reminds us to withdraw our awareness from the external hussle-bussle, and set into the sanctuary of our inner design. We can do this by relaxing, taking time to self-nuture, meditate, whatever provides an inner calm.

Messages Relating to the Back Yard & Back Gate:
I love that you pointed out the fox was found by the back gate in the back yard. This location suggests a symbolic approach to the elements in your life that you’ve put on the back burner. Areas requiring your skill and attention that have been set aside should be re-considered. Conflict you’ve placed aside for (seemingly) lack of solutions might need to be brought back into focus – new solutions are rising with each new day. The deepest parts of your inner ocean might require another dive in for further clarity and resources.

Fox Messages of Shapeshifting:
The fox is also an archetypal shapeshifter. Our Native American forebears knew the fox could change form and move from one dimension to the next as it so required. I love this concept in conjuction with the solar aspects (rising and setting of the sun which can translate to the rising and setting of our awareness) of the fox, as well as its “death” which amplifies the message of transition. Shapeshifting is a concept that you may want to research – you may find it to be a profound concept for you at this time.

Summary of Interpretation:
Do you see the symbolic connections here? Each stage of this encounter holds a wealth of symbolism. From the “death” (transition) of the fox, to the location (back of the mind), right down to the symbolic attributes of the fox – each play their part in a magnificent dance of meaning.

I’ve written a few pages on the symbolism of the fox that may (if you have not read them already) interest you:

Another Symbolic Interpretation of a Fox Sighting

I’d also like to mention our energetic interaction with animals is a two-way street. The fox is a powerful energy, and would not allow itself to be made known unless it felt you were a worthy counterpart. It takes an equally powerful soul to connect with the fox. What an honor. You can always tap into that power – and, the messages the fox has for you are always available to you. Ask, and they are given.

Interpreting a Symbolic Fox Sighting

Friday, March 28th, 2008

I received an email from a gentleman who asked for assistance in interpreting a symbolic fox sighting.

He encountered the fox at noon while he was contemplating his future plans. I respond with some ideas about his symbolic fox and direct him to more thoughts on my fox animal symbolism page. Here is my response:

Dear ShadowFinder:

Indeed, fox are small, but they can project a very large presence.

They are the natural shape shifters of the animal kingdom, and their shifting powers are at their peak on prime clock-time points of noon and midnight…inherent times of transformation.

Fox have very clarified and pointed energy – they serve as index fingers pointing in specific directions….they are focused and driven.

They are also quite clever and can reveal resources or advantages to your soul that your mind might never conceive.

What does your experience mean? Only you can determine that. Sorry, no free rides in the realm of oracle interpretations. Personal soul-searching is a requirement if you need to know the keys that unlock your doors of mystery.

One thing is certain. The fox does not idly choose who she reveals herself to. This encounter is unique to you, it’s your responsibility to follow the energetic trail of the fox for clarification.

Read over what I’ve written here, as well as this page I’ve written about the animal symbolism of the fox:

Fox Symbolism (full article)

or Fox Tattoo Symbolism (if you’re interested in that sort of thing).

Ditch the stuff that does not jive with your soul. Grab onto the threads that resonate truth. Keep pulling at these threads (researching, contemplating, meditating) until you reach a satisfactory end (a fitting answer to this phenomenon).

Further, call upon the energy of the fox. Be honorable, and be like still water as you invoke. The fox will come and will give you answers, just as long as you approach her as the noble she is.

Symbolic Meaning of Crossroads

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I see crossroads, and thus I’m compelled to explore the symbolic meaning of crossroads.

When I see them, Eric Clapton’s voice and ax come cutting through my mind with “Crossroads,” and I wonder what prompts the passage “fall down on my knees and ask the Lord for mercy please” in the song.

Of course, my ruminations produce some symbolic thoughts on this….

Crossroads (the intersection of four roads to make it simple for this post) were considered significant markers for supernatural or non-local activity. In other words, reports of seeing ghosts, apparitions, spectres at crossroads count up into the thousands.

Primitive South American cultures such as Aztec, Mayan, and some southern North American Indian tribes used crossroads as a place of sacrifice. Alters, or totem-like poles would be erected at these locations to indicate hallowed ground.

Early Europeans used to bury criminals and suicide victims at crossroads with the thought that when their spirit rose from the dead, they would be confused and return from whence they came and leave the living undisturbed by their presence.

Crossroads are often situated on top of natural ley lines which are intersections of high energetic vibrations from the earth and its atmosphere. These high voltage spots are often blamed for car accidents at intersections.

Perhaps these ley lands attracted witches as it is reputed they would secretly meet at crossroads to conduct coven work. Then again, maybe the witch association came from Hekate (Hecate), the Greek goddess of sorcery, who was said to appear at earthly crossroads with baying wolf-hounds at her side.

Hermes, son of Zeus, was also reputed to hang out at crossroads. In fact, statues called herms were erected at crossroads as Hermes represented one of the gods of travel (particularly commerce/trade roads) to the Greeks.

It is fabled that if you simply must make a deal with the devil, do so at the crossroads because you have four times better chance of outrunning devilish clutches with a choice of four roads (I guess the devil can’t predict which road you’ll choose).

Dreaming of crossroads may be symbolic of confusion, and not being able to see our way clear of a solution to a problem. It may also be a portent of many opportunities on the horizon for us.

Setting superstitions aside, I have to answer my deeper ruminations about crossroads thusly…

Ultimately, the symbolic meaning of crossroads deals with choice, consequence, making a selection about the direction in which we want to go (both physically and philosophically). Furthermore, my visions of standing at the center of a crossroads speaks of being poised in a position of pure potential. Suspended upon a vortex of power – and that begs the question from me “in what direction shall I navigate that power?”

For many of us, being in a position of power requires taking a stand for what we believe, even when we do not know what we will encounter upon the road we have chosen.

If we can’t make that stand it’s sometimes helpful to think of the symbolic meaning of crossroads in terms of the equal-armed cross which I’ve written about here. I rather like the mental picture of four in-roads leading to our hearts with each protrusion representing four perspective beatitudes of the cross:

Nature
Self
Knowledge
God

That’s the kind of power I’m talking about. That’s the kind of capacity for soul-quaking, paradigm shifting I’m alluding to.

In the combining of these four sacred concepts we meet in the middle – the center – which is both the beginning and ending. No choice in direction need be made when we seat ourselves in this kind of navigational setting. We merely wait for the roads to come to us.

Symbolic Meaning of Puma

Monday, January 14th, 2008

Tags: Animal Totems | Solar Symbolism | Nature Symbols

The symbolic meaning of puma, as one would expect, is about pouncing into action into our lives.

This is a intensely powerful animal. The puma cuts right to the point – there is no fluff, no waste and no fooling around.

If the puma is coming into your awareness, it means there is a dawning of new understanding.

What do I mean by that “dawning” of awareness?

To countless cultures, the puma is associated with solar powers. The puma IS a solar animal. It’s golden body sizzles in a coppery shine when viewed in the light of the sun (particularly against the backdrop of stoney mountains where it is want to be seen). Can you fathom that sight?

Our ancestors could, and thought the puma was made of gold itself (more solar symbolism).

As such, the puma is also an animal with strong spiritual associations. If the puma has become your counterpart, spiritual awakening, growth and re-discovery is pawing its way into your life right along with the presence of the puma.

These developments will likely come about in obscure ways. The puma is about elusiveness. It stalks its way – undetected, and tackles the objects of its desire without ever being known.

This can be translated into your own experience. What happens when the puma comes to us is this:

Personal power and inner growth begins to take place within us in surreptitious, mystical ways. These changes are not immediately obvious (that’s not the way of the puma). But puma augers profound inner changes, nonetheless.

I’ve devoted a whole page on the symbolic meaning of puma, and you can read more of these details here.

Symbolic Meaning of Black Rabbits (two of them)

Monday, November 12th, 2007

I got an email from someone wanting to know the symbolic meaning of black rabbits, as she kept seeing two of them on her front porch. She specifically wanted to know if the color black was significant in this case. My response follows:

Dear Black Hare Beauty:

Yes, the coloring in animals that cross our path is very important.

Black colored animals typically call out to our deeper feelings – as they are dark – they symbolize the shadows of our thoughts, the “nighttime” of our minds – the dreams we keep tucked away from the forefront of our everyday thoughts.

Rabbits are symbolic of:

family
community
awareness
caution
curiosity

Perhaps your two black rabbits are sending you a message to be more reserved (behind the shadows) in your dealings with others.

Or perhaps, they’ve crossed your path to let you know that the power in ourselves is sometimes found in the most unexpected (night/dark/black) places.

Black is also a symbol of silence, perhaps your rabbit friends are trying to tell you to take assurance and peace in your own stillness…silence may be the best answer.

The specific number (two) may also bear a message as symbolic meaning of two’s deal with balance, choice, judgment, relationship. Perhaps this is a message for balance for you, or clarifying the point in which you might be of “two minds” about a decision or issue in your life.

These are some very basic/common generalities about the symbolic meaning of black rabbits. Ultimately it is YOU who must decide what their appearances mean to you. Adopting animal symbolism to enhance our own personal perspective is the goal here.

I would encourage you to meditate upon these two black rabbits when they come to visit you. Often, animals are just as willing to speak with us as we are to learn from them. We must simply be open to their communications.

Symbolic Meaning of Lions

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Known as regal beasts, it’s comes to no surprise that symbolic meaning of lions deals with:

Strength
Nobility
Determination
Intensity
Courage
Conquest
Pride
Protection
Authority

However, many are unfamiliar with the symbolic meaning of lions dealing with resurrection and conversion. This meaning comes from the observation of newborn lion pups. Newborn lions were once believed to be born dead, and only came alive when the father passed its breath upon the pup. This was symbolic in Christian tradition as the father lion represented the Christ and his essence (breath) flowing into the children of the earth awakened their spirits to the light of God.

As an alchemy symbol, the lion takes on many representations. In alchemical texts, a red colored lion indicates sulphur which represents the multiplicity of human nature and the eternal aspiration to reach enlightenment. When illustrated in green, the alchemical lion indicates matter that which is the basic starting point of transformation.

African aboriginal legends state that the lion never closes its eyes when it sleeps. This provides symbolism of cunning, strategy, intelligence, protection and wariness.

When the lion appears to us in dreams, it is often a sign that we have a need to place ourselves in a more prominent position. Often the lion comes in our dreams when we are not being respected in our lives, and we need to advance ourselves in positions of respect and authority.

Lions can also be dream symbols telling us we need to get in touch with our passions or emotions, and we made need to tame these emotions if they are running unchecked.

In esoteric studies, the lion makes its appearance in the Tarot where it is illustrated in the Strength card of the Major Arcana. More symbolic meaning of the lion from the Tarot perspective can be found here: Tarot Symbolism of the Lion

As an astrological symbol the lion is identified by the sun sign of Leo. In the Leo sign we find such attributes as:

Passion
Generosity
Loyalty
Influential
Leadership
Determination

I’ve created an entire webpage devoted to more information on the symbolic meaning of lions here.

Symbolic Meaning of Pigs

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Symbolic meaning of pigs varies according to region & culture.

In earlier cultures such as ancient Egyptian the pig (sow, specifically) was considered a Great Mother and were symbols of fertility and abundance. Here the pig was sacred to Isis, who embodied fertility.

To the ancient Celts, the (sow) pig was also honored as a mother provider figure. Celtic lore tells of Manannan, who owned a heard of pigs that never dwindled – they were forever replinishing their numbers. As such, in Celtic symbolism pigs remained icons of abundance.

Also in ancient Celtic beliefs, the pig was associated with Keridwin and Phaea who were both fertility moon goddesses.

The pig was also a symbol of virility, strength, and ferility in ancient Chinese cultures. The boar is even among the animals in the Chinese zodiac where it is considered a symbol of sincerity, honesty, and determination.

In Hindu symbolism, the pig is linked to Vajravarahi, the female consort of Vishnu.

The Greeks would sacrifice pigs to deities who pertained to farming and agriculture (Demeter, Ares, Gaia) this was to bring about bumper crops and insure favorable growing seasons.

Native American cultures (plains tribes) associated the pig as a harbinger of rains and as such, the symbolic meaning of pigs here is also linked to abudance, fertility and agriculture.

On the other hand, the pig is a symbol of ignorance in Buddhism. Indeed, a black pig is illustrated on the Buddhist wheel of existence where it represents one of the three illusions of man in the Buddhist philosophy:

illusions of thought & desires
illusions innumerable as particles of dust and sand
illusions about the true nature of life

All of these are said to prevent man from attaining Nirvana in the Buddhist tradition.

The pig is a symbol of sloth (laziness) and/or greed in ancient Christian symbolism.

Jewish, Moslums and Islamic cultures view the pig as unclean and they are forbidden to eat pork.

In dream symbolism the domestic pig indicates fertility, yet a wild pig is a symbol of lust & overindulgence. If in your dream you are feeding a pig, this is supposed to be a symbol of good luck. If you are being attacked by a pig, it may be a message you are being materialistic or greedy about something.
