Oh and forgot to mention. Anima animus. We have animal aspects too. They are our "lower" aspects. Shiva is the lord of the animals. He was Rudra in the ancient times. Mastery over the animals is the first "ego mastery" of humans. Animal mastery is an important level of animus anima mastery. Why you might ask. Because that way you have the most "primal" type of connection to earth. If you can't master animals how do you expect to master the elements? Most of us probably aware that the snake coiled around Shiva's neck represents the mastery over desires. Shiva appeared for me with a "vampiric" face with red eyes sometimes. It was a warning that I am letting my desires/emotions go to my head. The pelt of the tiger skin represents how he is the apex predator and is above it. While the bull represents the material world. It is his "gatekeeper" because if you can't overcome this material world don't expect to be able to see him. Also it represents strength and reliability you get the idea. The Fool card has a dog too. It accompanies and protects the fool or maybe it represents the dangers on the fool's path. It's both. The beast. In the Gilgamesh epic Enkidu could talk to the animals until he had sex with that prostitute. His anima development was at the bestial level. Jung calls that Tarzan. While you might think that means he is a dumb brute it represents the mastery and connection with nature. But on an instinctual level only. In yoga and martial arts we "mimic" animal movements. Why we do that. Animals know how to be fast and strong and precise with their lethality. Turns out the human body holds most of the genetic information of earth. Our body has an ecosystem and energy movements that resonates with animals. Hindus can't eat beef because they worship it as "sacred" and because of that... the animals become "Higher kind of botsoul" and people can temporarily incarnate into it more easily. Jews seems to have an interesting problem that I don't understand yet because I didn't bother to read the Torah yet. They fear a bunch of things for the weirdest of reasons. Pigs really have an interesting trait. They are omnivores like humans and they eat "dead things" and things that grow from the "impure soil" like mushrooms. I noticed after a cleansing that my stomach has a pig in it. It represented my gluttony and the way human digestion works and how it generates a type of strength that goes to you ass but more precisely to your leg muscles. The problem with the pig meat is you are what you eat but... Your body can eat something and if it eats too much it can sorta "manifest". Pigs also eat their own shit (especially when stressed or hungry). (And bunnies too but that's herbivore so it doesn't matter now). That is bad because you stomach can "manifest" a sort of mechanism that eats it's "own" negative emotions.
