Badger symbolism and meanings include tenacity, cleverness, security, friendship, and gratitude.
Because badgers can be found in North America, the UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East,
they are subjects in the cultural mythology of many of these regions. In addition,
a badger spirit animal appears in the belief systems of many of these cultures.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Stop badgering me!” But why is the badger used in this
expression vs. any other animal? The reason is that badgers are tenacious.
Like bees and beavers, badgers are diligent and hard-working,
and they don’t give up until the task is done.
