Porcupine

The porcupine has immense power to protect itself or even to kill, so might relate to feelings of defensiveness. But it can also suggest independence by keeping others at bay through a ‘keep off’ attitude or even open hostility. Nevertheless the porcupine goes about its business quietly if left alone, so might show that attitude. See: hedgehog.

Useful questions are:

Am I creating a ‘don’t get nearer’ feeling around me?

What is my porcupine doing and what does this suggest? See: themes.

What do I wasn’t to be ‘left alone’ about?

Is there someone else who is being prickly? See: hedgehog above.
