Tasmanian Devil Spiritual Meaning

What comes to mind if you think of the Spirit totem - the Tasmanian devil? Do you think of the actual animal or the cartoon of the Tasmanian devil?

Thus, the spirit guide has large, strong jaws. Usually, they seem to be solitary but a fearsome predator. They also let out a foul smell, rather like skunks. Because of these traits, the Tasmanian devil is often not a popular creature with people. They can be dangerous and hard to predict. If faced at night they can be rather scary animals.

Tasmanian devils have quite a frightening growl. This fends off predators and humans, but they are seen as playful with each other. They possess this exceptional energy to destroy anything that threatens them. To have this animal totem can be a blessing but also a burden as it allows for intense energy but often is not rightly appreciated by others. Consider learning how to handle the brash and loudness of Tasmanian devil.
