In Shamanic traditions, the Rat symbolizes security and survival. The smallest scrap gives Rat Spirit enough to get by for a little while longer, allowing the creature to survive by its wits alone. Rat is also a partner for protecting one’s health because it has a strong immunity to disease and the toxins in the environment and food.
