Hippo: symbol of birth, motherhood, protection of young
The hippopotamus is associated with birth, motherhood and the protection of young. The Hippopotamus, whose name
means 'River Horse', protects the woman of the house, especially the woman of childbearing age.
The Hippo lives both underwater and on land. It is both practical and stable and tends to follow set patterns. The hippo teaches us to follow a path that is determined to be successful. The hippo represents routine paths and an intuition for truth that lead to our goals
in life.
While underwater, the Hippopotamus is able to see, hear and breathe. This can teach us a higher level of perception,
and so increase intuition for the heart and truth of situations in life.
