Lion

Solar energy, sovereignty and courage, and in alchemical material the passion that has to be tamed before it can be royal rather than merely loud.

Where the reading comes from

The lion is a sun animal from Egypt through to European heraldry, and the green lion of the alchemists devours the sun, which is the image for an appetite strong enough to swallow the thing it wants to serve.

A lion is rarely background. Did it have a keeper, a cage, or nothing at all between it and you?
