Intro to Lion Spirit Animal:
Lion Symbolism & Meaning:
Throughout the ancient world, the vibrant yellow mane of the Lion made it a natural solar symbol.

As such this King of the Beasts comes roaring into our spiritual journey with raw power, courage, and aggressiveness.

But cats are nocturnal. In this, Lion energy also cloaks our spirit in the lunar power of night – when much of the world is sleeping and the Big Cats are everywhere yet unseen, communicating yet unheard and hunting yet immobile.

Depictions of Lions are literally a millennium old throughout the world. Some revered the Lioness as the provider for her pride, and the meaning of providence and hunting skill remains intact.

In Egypt the sphinx has the body of a Lion, which was a sacred symbol of the Goddess who safeguarded the pharaohs in the afterlife.

Historians tell us that the playful goddess of dance and protection appeared in early illustrations as having a Lioness’ head instead of a domesticated cat. Other beings in the Egyptian pantheon had Lion likenesses including the fierce friend to women and children, Sekhmet and Bast’s son, Maahes a war god.

Middle Eastern stories and art show the Lion as representing great kings. The gods and goddesses in this region also had Lion companions. Examples include Ishtar with a Lion-drawn chariot and Inanna who stands on the backs of two female Lions. This alludes to the Lion as an emblem of great strength and authority. The connection strengthens further when we see the entrance to great cities and temples with Lion gates and flanking statues as protectors.

Chinese Buddhist portray the Lion as a creature of great majesty. It’s believed that Lions safeguard humans from ghosts and demons. As a result the architecture throughout China includes Lions at entryways, standing vigilant guard. The Tibetans mirror this protective nature using the Snow Lion. The key differences is that Snow Lions represent the Earth element instead of fire, but continue having stalwart fearlessness.

It would seem that Lion Spirit has a soft, pussy-cat side too. In the story of Androcles and the Lion we find that kindness to this noble cat is not soon forgotten. After helping the Lion rid itself of a thorn and infection, the Lion returns the favor by refusing to devour the young slave at the Circus Maximus, and openly showing his affection toward Androcles to the Emperor. Because of this ancient story, Lion symbolism includes devotion and kindness toward those who show him mercy and compassion.


Lion Spirit Animal:
When Lion as a Spirit Animal roars its presence in your life, this majestic cat comes with uncommon strength and vitality.

Lion often appears to a person who needs to reclaim their space and take back a leadership role in life. Alternatively the Lion Spirit Animal finds itself attracted to people who are brave and outspoken with leadership potential.

If you meet up with a Lioness the focus is a little different. She will teach you how to care for your pride and get your family working more cooperatively. The Lioness teaches her young all they need to know to fend for themselves without ever leaving them vulnerable. Lioness spirit likes people who nurture and protect the weak.

With a Lion Animal Spirit at your side you’re bound to attract the spotlight with pure magnetism. Spiritual leaders who have a Lion guide aggressively protect their faith against false images. They will also defend to the death the concept of religious freedom and finding God in your own way.

When Lion accompanies you in life you will learn much about banishing fear and self-expression. Remain humble with Lion, knowing that demeanor matters. This feline can teach you much about handling your personal power effectively.
