What do elk symbolize

They got scared and ran past me the male elk though had bounded over me in one great stride an as if in slow motion the elk looked down at me midway over me and then he landed with such grace he was able to swiftly run off as if steam dissapating in the morning dew. Thank you for Sharing! I know that many are blessed with having many different spirit animals. I believe the elk is one of them! How marvelous! I had a dream last night. I was driving up a hill and when I reached the top, I saw a brilliant blue lake with majestic snow covered mountains behind the lake and trees to each side.

I stopped my vehicle and wished I had a camera and then, right before my eyes, a very large elk with huge antlers galloped up the snow covered mountain in a diagonal fashion. The elk seemed to be white or grey, but maybe covered with snow? What a great dream! Instead of taking a breather and allowing yourself to regain your strength.

Maybe you desire to join a more positive herd? Last night I dreamed I was walking side by side with a giant female elk like we were friends. I had my hand on her shoulder as we walked. I felt very safe and comfortable with her.

Labor day weekend I had a bull elk come into my yard that was tangled in a tire swing. There was a log on one side and a tire on the other side of his face. He kept getting hit in the face with the log and was in distress. After hitting multiple roadblocks in trying to get help for him, I decided I had to help him myself.

I am a small animal veterinarian and have a very special bond with animals, but this unlike any animal I had ever helped before.

I was able to cut the swing off his antlers over a 12 hour period by just talking to him in a very calm quite voice. It was a true miracle!!! I have been criticized that I could have been severely injured or killed, but I was never scared. I knew he trusted that I would help him. The story made national and international news. The most accurate story is the one that ran on the Phoenix, AZ news. I am thinking that is some kind of sign! The elk as an animal totem is also considered the symbol of the community.

It is known that the elk lives always in a group, so this animal is almost never seen alone. If the elk is your animal totem, then it is important to maintain good relations with your family and friends and to help each others. If you are a part of the community, you will feel protected and supported. Sometimes it is impossible to do something on your own, so it is better to ask for help.

You should have in mind that there is nothing bad in asking someone for help. If you see the Elk as your animal totem, it is also the sign that you should respect the people of your gender and you should spend more time with them.

If you see the Elk as your spirit animal, then it means that you will have a lot of success in a future period. You will get all you need, but you should be patient. Remember that the patience is the key of success. If you want to reach your goals, you should be patient and never lose your strength.

The Elk as your spirit animal may appear at the moment when you need courage and strength. Quick Respons. If the Elk appears for you, it may be the sign that there will be important changes around you, so you will need to react quickly.

The elk is known for its strong and quick reflexes. This animal can feel the danger that is coming and it is able to react quickly. It means that you should become more alert in the future. When a male Lakota was born, he was presented with an elk tooth representing longevity of life.

To the Lakota, the spiritual elk represented strength, power, and virility. The elk also serves as the official state animal for Utah and he adorns both the state seal and flag of Michigan.

The Norse people of Scandinavia believed that by observing and listening to animals they could adopt and develop their traits in themselves. If the elk is your totem animal, you are a master at keeping a steady pace in life. You are confident in your endeavors, and meeting your goals is far more important than just being the first to accomplish them. In Spirit, you are likely someone with many friends and close family who care for you and who see you as a special person in their lives.

You are courageous and unafraid of the obstacles others see as daunting. Because elk can be susceptible to infectious illnesses, an elk encounter may be a way of suggesting that you need to look to your physical and mental health.

This is particularly true if you are in a position where you could potentially spread a physical illness to others. Keep in mind that negative attitudes and moods can, if kept unchecked, spread to others. Just as viruses and bad attitudes can be contagious, so can gossip.
