The bull is a powerful, determined, hardy animal. Because of it’s stubborn nature the term “bull headed” is often extracted from this animal. With its strong robust build and lean muscles, the bull produces meat products.
The bull was considered sacred in some cultures. As I learned in some of my Bible classes, the bull was used for atonement and blood sacrifice in ancient Egypt and to the Hebrews. Bull skin was used to make glue using gluten taurinum in Latin America in earlier times.
The Celtic culture used the bull for reproductive enhancement purposes. Symbols of the bull were printed on textiles like pillow cases and sheets. They believed that it strengthened their endurance and sexual drive. The bull was a way of life for the Celts because it provided food, luxury, and wealth.
When you have a chart for the stock market you see a line that goes up and down. The bull’s style of attack goes upward like an uppercut in a diagonal motion. The direction of the upper cut is similar to the upward movement of the stock market showing that the value of the stock is improving. This is often referred to as a bull market. Here the bull is seen as a symbol of strength and confidence.
When drawing the bull, I noted the rigid structure of the horns. The skull was broad with a powerful neck and the hornline produces a sturdy ridged tight feel. This is a rugged, powerful, durable animal.
