Guénon examines various correspondences in ancient Hindu, Celtic, and Greek traditions in which the symbols of the wild boar and the bear appear. He informs us that the wild boar and the bear "symbolize respectively spiritual authority and temporal power, that is to say, the two castes of the Druids and Knights, the equivalents, at least originally and in their essential attributes, of the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas." Using mostly linguistic evidence, Guenon suggests how the symbols moved from the earliest primordial tradition through more recent traditions. He reminds us of the place of "the boar" (spiritual authority) as fundamentally superior to "the bear" (temporal authority).
