230. Elk Spiritual Symbolism

Ah, it's promised yesterday. I looked up the spiritual symbolism of elk. Actually first I texted Sam who you've heard from, and we'll again, I think maybe tomorrow. But we'll see, you never know with me. Anyway, I texted him cause he loves animals. At least as much as I do. I don't know if anyone can love them more, but. What do you said was elk stag. So the male Elks. Our noble creatures for many cultures, they represent the spirit of the forest. And I totally, totally. 100% feel that. And then I looked up. Elk symbolism from California psychics. The link is in the show notes. I'm just actually going to read some of those to you. Elk are powerful, adaptable animals that have played a significant role in cultural mythology is. Elk and counters are for most people rare, which means that an elk siding is often an indication that spirit is trying to communicate with you. By deciding to acknowledge and honor this message you choose to participate more fully in what spirit has in store for you. I have seen elk. When I lived in Oregon. I saw elk and California Northern California. One, I nearly walked into. On a beach. the little trail. To get to the beach, had tall grass and I just walked down it without really paying attention. And all of a sudden I was basically. On top of an elk. I definitely backed away. Slowly. And took a different route. The other time, I think was actually the same frigging day. I was on a hike before I walked over to the beach. And I saw an elk. Gazing at me from a distance, but this elk was Jeff in Italy. Wondering what the fuck I was doing. Where I was. Of course I was being this. Totally benevolent. If a human can be benevolent. Creature. Walking through the woods. And Came upon like the edge of the woods and there was a field and there was a beautiful tree in the middle of this field. It was late fall, I believe because there were no leaves on the trees. And this elk was under this tree. Just turned its head. It's like, yeah, I see you. I see you. I'm like. Because elk are really aggressive. They can be. So that's, uh, the elk sightings that I've had. I think that was it. I wonder if I paid attention. I mean, I made it through I'm here today now. So. I'm going to tell you what the elk represents. The elk represents dignity power. And our strength and passion. If you experienced an Alec sighting. Or if elk is coming into your field, like it is right now, listening to this. It's a message to stay study on your current course. And Alex sighting is also a reminder to be diligent and see things through. Okay. So what are you working on? What's follow through. All right. If you do, you will learn the respect of others for standing your ground. And elk siding lets you know that because of hard work, you're about to come into the life of plenty. You've envisioned. This is a great reward for a job. Well done. Thanks, California. Psychics love that. I really do like to talk about these different animals in different cultures to see. Where the perception is and where the lines cross and blur and totally diverge. So, this is what they say when it comes to spirit, animal medicine, native Americans widely believed that each animal can teach us about the ways of life. Values culture, hunting family, et cetera. The elk, teach us pride, strength, stamina, and agility. The Sean you called the elk. What? PT? Which translates into white rump. The what PT is a symbol that it's time to take the next step in life. And do it with courage. That's actually very interesting because when I saw this ALK, I was about to leave. Oregon and go to. move to Hawaii. With no. Job or planner home or connect. I did that with crude. To the Lakota. The elk was an important part of their spiritual beliefs. When a male Lakota was born, he was presented with an elk tooth representing longevity of life. Later in life when a male was ready to find his other half. That's stupid language. Sorry. But whatever, when he was ready to find his partner, If you had an elk siding and a dream, he would paint an elk on his courting clothes indicating a high. Sexual progress. So the Lakota, the spiritual elk represented strength, power and virility. The ALK coastal serves as the official state animal for Utah. And he adorns both the state seal and flag of Michigan. The north people of Scandinavia. Hey, that's my blood. And that's the ruins. That's kind of cool. I'm glad this is in here. Norris people of Scandinavia believed that by observing and listening to animals, they could adopt and develop their traits in themselves. For the Norris people who called the elk. King of the forest. Yeah. The elk was a symbol of inner strength, wisdom, and grace, and having a white elk sighting was a sign of divine. Protection. I'm going to give you a little bit more information. The elk is a totem animal, because if you're really connecting in with this energy, You could potentially feel as though. The elk is your totem and really deeply connect with that. If the elk is your totem animal, you are a master at keeping a steady pace in life. If life were a race, your ability to pace yourself would not necessarily mean you'd be the first across the finish line, but you would certainly arrive there with the same strength you began with while others burned out. You are confident in your endeavors and meeting your goals is far more important than just being the first to accomplish them. You also probably prefer to do things in groups rather than alone. And it's likely that you work at keeping your body strong and healthy by eating good food, which may not include a lot of meat. If any. And spirit, you are likely someone with many friends and close family who care for you and who see you as a special person in their lives. You're courageous and unafraid of the obstacles others see as daunting. And other words. You don't give up easily. Elk. How we're full in so many ways, strength, stamina, not only of body, but of mind and spirit. Ooh. It's really amazing energy. May this episode give you. A sense of strength and power and courage.
