Key words: Intellectual, rational, curious, radical, imaginative, persistent, achieving, practical, realistic, conventional, restrained, organized, thorough, dependable, resourceful, secure, and content.
The Gryphon is an eagle from the waist up and a lion from the waist down. It therefore has the qualities of a bird which is closely linked with spirituality and the divine, and a mammal, which is associated with regal strength and courage.
In common with the other Earth creatures, Gryphons are practical and realistic but tend to be more intellectually inclined to adopt a theoretical view of helping others and especially of helping others to help themselves. Gryphons are hard working and motivated within their chosen career. Work often centers on symbols of financial security, though money is not what they want. It is the things that money can buy as money buys freedom from want, from drudgery, from misery, and provides the safe haven within they can relax.
Because of the Earth/Air combination, Gryphons are not the most socially skilled of the types and due to their shyness, they may not get the chance to practice their communication skills which is a central motivation for them. Gryphons do have a keen sense of color and form and love heavy aromas. The Air secondary may induce them to investigate a healing art such as aromatherapy or reflexology, both of which appeal to the basic earthiness of the primary Earth element. Such activities also have the good effect of allowing Gryphons to interact with other people in a formal and controlled environment.
