I had some fun researching the goat yesterday. This is what I learned. In many ceremonies, a goat has be used as a symbol of sacrifice. A goat has also beene used in many myths and legends and it is considered a symbol of vitality, sensuality and (robust) health. Actually the man goat symbolizes virility and the female goat was used as a symbol of abundance and reproduction.
There are so many symbolic meanings of the goat because it is used as a spirit animal since ancient times. You may have heard of Pan who is the the god of the wild in Greek mythology. This god was half man and half goat and he was a symbol of bravery, intoxication ( luring with his reed pipe) and power.

In most cases, goat symbolism is letting you know that is time to begin new climbs and new endeavors. Look closely in what is ahead so you can be surefooted along your course. Goat is letting you know that it is time to stretch yourself: therefore, reach for new and higher goals.
