Bison is a contradictory symbol in many peoples who were aware of the complex nature of the animal. Yes, he has always been a symbol of abundance and peaceful strength. But those who have seen a buffalo in anger and rage, who have been the object of an attack, know how terrible it is in such moments - it is unstoppable. Hunting a buffalo is as dangerous as hunting an elephant or a lion.
That is why this symbol is complex and multifaceted - a prudent force that is difficult to awaken, but if you do, you face the element of destruction in all its horror.
Hump often symbolizes the ability to create a reserve of strength - a storehouse, the contents of which can be used if necessary. In the case of the buffalo, the hump represents the abundance we can find. The fact that the hump is located at shoulder level means that we must make our own efforts to achieve it. The shoulders are a symbol of overcoming life's difficulties. The shoulders carry a heavy burden or a well-deserved reward.
Bison often behave unpredictably and can be dangerous. It can serve as a warning of the dangers that await you on the path to happiness and well-being if you do not feel sufficiently connected to the earth. Bison generally choose the easiest path. When we combine the right efforts in the right direction with the right prayers, the path will not seem difficult.
