After our last Cowgirl Yoga retreat, I treated myself to a new ring. I was browsing in a downtown Boz gallery that specializes in American Indian art, and was drawn to the jewelry with animal imagery by a Lakota artist named Mitchell Zephier. The animals on the ring all represent power animals for the Lakota Indians, and since I've been wearing it, I like to look down and see which ones are turned up and what they might mean for me on that day. Here's what each symbolizes:
- Turtle: Symbol of Mother Earth; strength, well-being, perseverance, longevity of life
- Wolf: Symbol of a guide/teacher; intelligence, steadfastness, protection
- Eagle: Symbol of wisdom and keen sight; courage, strength
- Buffalo: Symbol of life; survival, abundance
- Horse: Symbol of generosity; a journey, swiftness
