The Lizard Doormat: A Native American Symbol

The Native Americans lived in harmony with the earth and valued many creatures for their courage, hard work, and strength. The lizard, also known as, spinning lizard was a very popular Native American symbol.  It was very common to be used by the Navajo and other tribes as well.  In Native American mythology, the spinning lizard symbolizes the dreamer. If you dream of a lizard, it is said to be a sign that this dream is important and reveals a lot about where you’re coming from, where you’re going, and how is the best way to get there. You must look to the other symbols in the dream to understand the true meaning.

The lizard is seen on many old designs from the Southwest.   You can find this design or symbol is used for several Southwest decor items.   My favorite item is the southwestern doormat with the lizard. Your guests will not only feel welcomed in your home, but they will enjoy a little bit of Native American culture in the Southwest.  By visiting our site you can find this design on place mats, totes/purses, and on other southwestern decor.
