As a totem animal, the Lion or Lioness presents a lesson in dealing with groups, and helps make clear your role in that group. The Lion has often been associated with the sun, and the mineral Gold. The Lion is a totem for avoiding confrontations, and honing stealth. Lion teaches us to take the calm river (or path) in life, rather than fording white water rapids!
