The lion’s regal stature and its flowing mane has made it a natural symbol of kings, whose power shines like the sun over their dominions. They are powerful hunters, and are capable of powering through tough obstacles. Beyond this, the lion is also a symbol of skill, especially one that is passed down from master to apprentice. Lions may be great hunters, but that’s only because these skills are being honed in them since they were children.The lion is also a symbol of truth. Like the truth, lions are straightforward and very difficult to contain. Also like the truth, a lion’s roar echoes for all to hear. The truth can be used to attack or to defend, much like how the lion both hunts for its pride and defends them from would-be aggressors.
