Armadillo Totem, Spiritual Animal

People with the Armadillo totem are generally reserved and lean toward conservatism. They tend to hold back and protect themselves from emotional pain. However, once they overcome their initial reservations and open up to those they’ve learned to trust, they make loyal and steadfast companions.

People with this animal totem also have a strong connection to the earth and water. They are empathetic and often have to learn to protect themselves from other people’s energies.

People with the Armadillo totem may seem distant and arrogant, but it is their way of staying away from “drama.” They prefer one-on-one socializing rather than large groups. They often help you release your burdens without taking that energy for themselves.

People with the Armadillo totem don’t judge and avoid any drama, preferring not to get involved in conflict. Like the potato beetle, they hide their true self from others and are careful about exposing their hearts. Once you have their trust, their friendship lasts a lifetime.

People with this power animal are generous providers for their families, good listeners, sensitive to others’ feelings and emotions, and live their days with purpose. Like the Turtle, they prefer to defend themselves by retreating inward. These people are also good at uncovering and sensing your secrets.

Interpretation of Armadillo Dreams

When you dream of an Armadillo, it symbolizes old secrets and truths rising to the surface of your psyche. These past issues need to be exposed and released to the universe so you can move on.

An Armadillo dream may also indicate the need to protect yourself from other people’s energies. In other words, the vision is warning you to stay away from any drama and to make sure you don’t take sides. There is no right or wrong in this case, so let others resolve it themselves.

Meaning of Armadillo Colors in Dreams

When the Armadillo is white, the vision asks you to pay close attention. Just like a Stick Insect dream. If the creature is black, it indicates a period where you will be digging and seeking answers. These will come to you in time.

A gray Armadillo dream is a reminder that to move forward at this moment you will need to use all your senses. Therefore, you must stay grounded so you can use your intuition.

When the animal is purple, the Armadillo’s meaning indicates the need to withdraw from the situation you are in. You must let the universe resolve the space without your help. Your interference will only create more chaos. https://animalchaman.com/animales/simbolismo-del-armadillo/

Although we are very familiar with its common name, meaning “little armored one,” you probably don’t know its scientific name is Dasypodidae. The armadillo is called that due to the bony plates protecting the top of its body. What makes them really special is that all other mammals with these characteristics are now extinct.

Armadillo is called Begope in Zapotec. https://alebrijes.net/alebrije-armadillo/
