The lion holds a variety of energies and is never what it appears to be. There is great myth and lore surrounding it.
Unlike other cats the lion lives in groups called prides. They live together in harmony and seldom fight amongst each other.
Lions are often spotted lying around not doing much at all. They seem to be saying don't bother me "I am busy relaxing." This is one reason why the energy of fearlessness has been associated with this beautiful creature. Lions can teach us the art of fearlessness if we allow ourselves to relax long enough to learn from it.
Those with this totem will find that their life lessons will involve dealing with groups and community in some way. They will also need to pay attention to the particular role they play within that group and work with others cooperatively. Lion people have the ability to be balanced leaders but need to keep jealous tendencies under control.
Lions do not fight for the sake of fighting only to defend their pride. They avoid confrontation and will leave the scene of danger whenever possible and can guide those with this totem out of unpleasant situations.
As odd as it might seem, whenever I see a lion it evokes a feeling of safety within me. I can remember always liking lions, as a child, from having a small stuffed lion to visiting a private owner's lion on the way to my Aunt's house out in Canandaigua, NY.
Does this mean I'm looking for a protector? (ugh)

Fri, August 18, 2006 - 8:17 AMHey scott perhaps the lion spirit is already our protector. Perhaps it is reminding you of the protector within and the safety that exists within you already. Perhaps you are also recalling a time when you knew lions in one life or another. Peace Darrell
