The Pig is a widely used symbol in esoteric practices. With many meanings and symbolisms attached to it, it can come to mean many things. The pig is often viewed as a laid back animal. It does not easily attack or angered, but chooses to enjoy life. It symbolizes prosperity, wealth and abundance.
Consequently, what does the pig symbolize?
A pig represents luck, overall good fortune, wealth, honesty, general prosperity, symbolizing a hard working, a peace-loving person, a truthful, generous, indulgent, patient, reliable, trusting, sincere, giving, sociable person with a large sense of humour and understanding.
Besides, what does a pig mean in the Bible?
In Leviticus 11:27, God forbids Moses and his followers to eat swine “because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud.” Furthermore, the prohibition goes, “Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.” That message is later reinforced in Deuteronomy.
Another positive attribute of the animal was its fierce fighting spirit during the hunt (one of the reasons it was used so often by warriors as a symbol of courage). At its most negative, the Black Pig reflected a preferred form in which dangerous or evil spirits were said to appear.
