A friend of mine awhile back did an astrological chart reading for me where she brought up the Wild Boar.
I thought WTF? Really?
But I went with it and ever since, have been using the above photo as my lock screen on my phone.
You see, turns out the Wild Boar was revered and honored in many different cultures throughout our human Story. Wild Boars are resilient, fierce, protective. Charging head first through challenges. Moving forward with strength. Warriors. Proud and intelligent. Confronting what is hidden. More than one side. Complex. Secretive and shy.
“Wild boars only tend to come into contact with humans on human terms such as hunts. This is why we often see them depicted as aggressive, ferocious and violent, you would be too if you were being chased by men and dogs with the intent to kill you.” from great article here.
Because turns out, like many other false assumptions we have in ‘popular consciousness’, Wild Boars are not very dangerous to humans. Only about 100 total attacks were recorded from 1825 to 2012 in the USA.
And they are good for the environment.
“…they play an important role in the decomposition of the forest floor. By rooting through leaf litter to find food, they aerate the soil and this has important benefits for the environment.”
… and, this was the cincher, wild boars live in matriarchal societies.
I am putting together a May Day at Mother Well my ten acres of land by Turtletown Tennessess on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina May 1st through May 3rd. This will be a small casual container where our intention will be to come together in person to talk about and plant seeds for Goddess Led communities not only there but all over the world.
This past weekend when my partner and I were at Mother Well, a neighbor had helped create a forest path that created a ‘yoni’ shaped island, and I thought to myself, well, that’s a fantastic place to put the Mother Well sign (that had fallen), a statue and a main ‘welcome’ to Mother Well.
We go home, and the next day, my game camera returns this picture right at the above mentioned ‘welcome’ altar space:
a WILD BOAR
Ha! Three years I have had that game camera, and it has never returned a picture of a wild animal.
