Many African cultures revere the African Elephant as a symbol of strength and power. It is also praised for its size, longevity, family bonds, stamina, mental faculties, cooperative spirit, and loyalty. They are the largest land animals on Earth. Elephants are traditionally considered a symbol of good luck, wisdom, fertility, and protection. Wearing or placing  the image of the elephant with its trunk raised in your home is thought to attract good fortune, as it showers its positive energy out of the trunk and into all surrounding beings and spaces. Elephants with their trunks down are thought to be accumulating positive energy and pushing through obstacles, and are particularly potent totems for those seeking fertility, wisdom, or strength. The elephant is also associated with the root chakra, charging through blockages and offering energies of protection, love, loyalty, and quiet courage.
“The Elephant never gets tired of carrying its tusks.”  African Proverb
