oink

Pigs keep crossing my path. Not actual pigs, but pictures of them, and pigs, strangely, have been coming up in conversation. Look at this smiley guy. I found him this morning while traversing the google fields.

So I looked up "Pig Totem," and this is what it says:
Pig: symbol of Wealth, Prosperity and Luck

The pig moves swiftly and with determination. It intuitively knows the best reaction to various situations. If the pig is your personal totem, learn from its determination and swift motion to take the right actions in your life.

The Greek earth fertility goddess, Demeter, kept a sacred pig which became a symbol of fertility.

Native American Indians recognize the pig as a symbol of the abundance of daily life and believe that it teaches us to celebrate life and share it with others.

The pig is a strong symbol of luck. If you need more luck in financial matters, the pig provides prosperity in abundance.

Manannan, the Celtic God of the Sea, kept a magical herd of pigs (which renewed itself as soon as any were eaten). Manannan hosted a great annual "Feast of Age", where the gods acquired the ever-renewing qualities of the pigs, and thus never grew old.


...Good timing. Because, tomorrow's my going away party and the day after that is me going away! Wealth, prosperity and luck are welcome to come along.

  1. So... based on the year you were born? You also happen to be a "pig" according to the Chinese Calendar (I prefer "boar," as I am the same year)... but check out the, "Year of the Pig." Good stuff... --michelle
