Power Animals: Wild Boar

Spirit Symbols: The totem of Wild Boar is that of truth,courage and confrontation.

The lie is symbolic of your own inner deceit and weaknesses. The warrior would have to face the truth, and the Wild Boar even if that means facing his own death. Armed with only a knife, the warrior would need the courage to accept the consequences of his actions. He would face these consequences through the Boar. The Wild Boar is a message to be honest in all we do and have the courage to face the problems in our life that seem dreadful or uncomfortable.
