Snow Leopard in Mythology:

Snow leopard is a national symbol for Tatars and Kazakhs. The national emblem of the Tartars shows a winged snow leopard. During the times of the Soviet Union, the "Order of Snow Leopard" was given to particularly outstanding alpinists, who managed to climb five peaks over 7000 meters that were in the territory of the Soviet Union. In the fables and myths of the Chinese, the snow leopard is characterized positively as a brave warrior. Currently, it still adorns many coats of arms, including the English one.

The snow leopard in the interpretation of dreams: it may represent our strength of action, our internal aggression or our passion. Also, it can be asking us to control our emotions.

The essence connects us with our deep inner wisdom; it helps us get a better perspective of our lives. It also promotes the delicacy and taking actions towards a goal.

On the body level: We see that in the same way as the snow leopard can distribute its weight on its legs and walk on the snow without sinking; or it can successfully perform its jumps the essence can promote this delicacy and assertiveness within ourselves. It helps us have a better body awareness.

On the emotional level: The essence gives us greater self-confidence and, as a result, we feel safe and can overcome our fears and perform the great leap of our lives. The snow leopard essence allows us to be more aware of our own emotional needs and those of others. Thus, we learn to allow closeness and physical contact more easily and to enjoy it.

On the spiritual level: The essence gives us clarity. We are able to feel the right time to act and we learn to use our energy accurately. In the same way as the animal lives at high altitudes, we are able to follow our path and our goal in life. We feel united and protected in the joy of God.
