Wonderful post as usual Lovely. 👏 You have said it all don't want to regurgitate. I would like to write about the symbolism of the goat ( Lakshmi )

Why would the CV's pick a goat and not a dog or cat ? Goats are one of the first domesticated animals by humans.Goats evoke a sense of independence.When the goat ambles your path,it might be a signal to contemplate your power as individual. Symbolic goat meaning also deals with curiosity and inquiry. Goats are insatiably curious. They will poke and prod at everything within their environment. Often this prodding comes in the form of looking for weak links in their enclosures (if domesticated). Goats encourage us to engage and entertain our own sense of curiosity. These creatures are also amazingly intelligent.

In the words of Alistair Cooke, "Curiosity is free-wheeling intelligence."

So often curiosity and intelligence go hand-in-hand (or, hoof-to-hoof in this case,😉 ). The goat is a grand reminder of this, and urges us to be inquisitive.

Goat has symbolism in Greek mythology well I don't want to get into that, enough said already. Phew ......
