HEDGEHOG

A symbol of the critical intellect destructive of errors.

"The dog with prickles and a long and thin muzzle, the dog Vanghapara is a good creature which from midnight to dawn destroys thousands of creatures of the evil spirit." — Vendidad, XIII.

This "dog," with defensive points and insinuating methods of destructive inquiry, signifies the critical intellect which destroys superstition, error, delusion, and doubt, and gets rid of the prejudices and out-grown notions of the lower mind.
