Whether in the flesh or purely as a charm, goldfish are revered across the Buddhist world. Therefore, elephants are highly valued in Buddhism, as are goldfish.
These creatures are a sign of good luck all over the world, especially when their trunk is in an upright position, proclaiming their joy like a trumpet. The elephant is another commonly accepted symbol of wisdom, power, strength, and loyalty. A bull was the animal symbol of the god of fertility, and, by doing this, they believed they were honoring him. The Greeks took this a step further, wearing bull pendants to absorb its active sexual libido, which, they believed, would bless them with large families and bountiful harvests. These groups commonly pictured bulls on engravings, talismans, and jewelry to channel the creature’s lucky aura. Ancient Greek, Egyptian, East Indian, Celtic, and Etruscan cultures valued the bull animal symbol for its strong and masculine attributes of fertility, virility, longevity, health, and dignity. However, if a bee dies in your home, it is an omen of bad luck, so be on the lookout for some imminent negativity.īulls are next on our list of lucky animals to encounter. Bees allow much of life to be sustained by pollination, and encountering one symbolizes the strong sustenance that you will experience throughout your own life. Small and sweet, the bee animal totem is our next simple, everyday symbol of good luck in nature.
