Hippopotamus lives in the water, most of the time, and as any of us are, is very protective of its home. To adapt to the watery home and yet to be able to come out and eat greens on the side of the river, Hippo needed to change. The evolution of Hippo puts all of its senses on the top of its very large head.
If Hippo is now showing up for you, perhaps it is because she is telling you that it is time to change. If you have been looking down, nose to the grind stone, Hippo tells you that now is the time to look up. Look at the HEAVENS and know that it is time to pursue your multidimensional abilities and walk a path of spirituality. It is time to pay attention to Mother Earth and hear and see the beauty around you.
Hippo's large body is perfect for her life style. The Ancestors say that she represents fertility, and that she represents all of the Elder Fertility Goddesses... Pachamama is the great goddess of the Aztec and Inca. She represents Mother Earth and all fertility. Brigit is the Irish/Celtic goddess of fertility, and it was she who the women and the herders prayed to for bountiful births. Hippo too has the ability to feed her children easily and to feed the crocodiles when her (Hippo's) time is up. Representing great abundance, Hippo may be bringing you a message that you need to find ways to nourish yourself. And, perhaps it is time that you nourished someone else. When we help others is when we receive the most help ourselves.
Hippo likes to be with others of her kind. She will float in the water, secure in knowing that those around her keep watch and keep her protected. As well, when she dives to the bottom of the river for food, she shows faith in her herd, that she may eat peacefully.

Hippo's guidance may also be around getting back in touch with friends and family. Know that they are the ones you may trust. Going it alone is hard and as you skimp on nourishing food to save time, you begin to erode your body and health.
Hippo says that it is now time to look to your very foundations. Are they holding you up? Do you need to strengthen your legs and arms with swimming? Do you need to eat with family and friends to slow down and to eat empowering food? Do you need to take a walk in your emotions to see why you have become alone?
I wish you many blessings as you walk with Hippopotamus as a guide in your life!
