Nelson Creations, LLC Donkey Natural Soapstone Hand-Carved Animal Carving Charm Totem Figurine, 1.5 Inch

Donkeys have a well-known reputation of being a stubborn creature. But instead of being foolish, this has been the result of a much higher intellect of self-conservation and self-preservation. They often appear to be quite intelligent, playful, eager to learn, welcoming and extremely cautious. They are the ultimate symbol of true leadership: always at the front carrying the heavy burden for others, but also intelligent and gentle. Trust the Donkey! Remember that Donkey was the animal that the Angels entrusted with carrying Mother Mary when she walked the Earth. Donkey is unique in that it is an independent thinker unlike other herd animals. It will not go where it believes there is danger, nor will it suffer a human that it thinks is not too bright or a human who is cruel. However, where Donkey sees gentleness, it will adapt and become patient and kind. It will act as a guardian for small children, for sheep and goats, or for cattle. Its courage is unmatched for its size. Donkey guides you to help others and that in turn, this will help you. There is a sense of reflected karma about Donkey. It can be very loving and expects that treatment in return. Donkey is symbolic of stubbornness, royalty, wealth, acknowledgment, wisdom, enlightenment, good luck, providence, and support.
