Merry Christmas Eve 2014 !!!

 

 

Today I thought it would be only appropriate to discuss the symbol of the Reindeer.

Reindeer symbolize wisdom, resourcefulness,

cleverness, knowledge, creativity, inventiveness and cleverness. They are honored for their nobility and representing continuation of the tribe. Other members of herbivorous Cervidae family are deer, elk and moose. Each member has its own unique symbolism based on its attributes. Deer symbolizes gentleness and caring; elk symbolizes stamina and agility; moose symbolizes self-esteem and joyful spirit of sharing accomplishments.
Reindeer are cunning survivalists and able to live in brutal environments. They are symbolic of savvy knowledge; observing the reindeer pawing beneath packed snow to find herbs and grasses led indigenous peoples to medicinal herbs. As one of the first beasts that humankind relied on for food, supplies, clothing and tools, the reindeer gained high status. Thus it is an animal of nobility and worthiness.
