The jungle will never see a more noble and graceful creature than the tiger. This animal has been respected and

revered throughout the ages by ancient and modern Indian tribes, Buddhist monks and Chinese shaman who understand

the true influence these creatures posses. They are strong, sensual animals that own many admirable virtues.

The large powerful paws of a tiger contain, hidden within, long, very sharp claws. Their claws stay sheathed

until grasping prey or protecting themselves or their cubs from an enemy. The ability to use power only when needed,

saving it for the most important battles in life, is a much desired attribute. Those who are said to posses tiger like

qualities have control over their emotions and display an excellent sense of timing, only striking when necessary,

choosing to save their awesome power for when it is truly needed, and thereby ensuring their success.

Another unique characteristic of this animal is the way it hunts prey. Tigers posses great stealth and will hide

and stalk their quarry, only showing themselves when they know the time is right. Tigers usually find prey that is large

enough to provide sustenance for several days. This again displays the ability of this animal to harness its power and

only act when the most benefit can be obtained. Tigers only hunt when they are in need of food; they are not random

killers or pleasure hunters. This characteristic greatly contributes to the idea that they are indeed noble creatures.

Tigers are said to possess Lunar magic and many myths and legends portray them as sisters of the moon. They

are devoted mothers, raising and protecting their young from danger, teaching them to hunt and providing them with all

that they need until they are able to care for themselves properly. Mother tigers will fiercely protect her offspring from

any harm or threat of harm.

To watch a tiger in the wild is to truly experience its grace and magnetism. Their movements are hypnotic and

charismatic. They are considered King in their favored habitats and many cultures will not even call them by name out

of respect; these tribes who live among these amazing animals call them Lord rather than offend the magnificent

creature by addressing him in any other way.

Stripped tigers may appear very similar, but one should not be fooled by this seeming resemblance. No two

tigers are the same; their stripes vary greatly from each other marking them as unique and individual amongst their

species.
 Tigers are honored and respected by Buddhists the world over. According to Buddhist principle, the Tiger

abides in the South. They symbolize unconditional confidence, disciplined awareness, kindness and modesty. They are

tranquil yet energized; and rest in a gentle state of being that has a natural sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. In

Buddhist philosophy these traits that tigers possess signify the state of enlightenment.

The tiger possesses many animal virtues that are powerful and valuable and which any person would be wise

to emulate or divine. One who has the power of the tiger will see enhanced charisma, sensuality, and personal

magnetism; a better sense of self control allowing one the ability to use will-power and act when the timing is just right.

Passion, devotion, stealth and intuition are also all part of this noble totems magic.
