Wall Street Bull

One of the most famous sculptures in New York City is the Charging Bull by Arturo Di Modica. The statue stands in Bowling Green and is also known as Wall Street Bull.

Wikipedia:

"The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) sculpture stands 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measures 16 feet (4.9 m) long. The oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination which draws thousands of people a day, as well as "one of the most iconic images of New York" and a "Wall Street icon" symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District."

The esoteric symbolism of the statue has an obvious link to astrology and the sign of Taurus. But there is more to it.

To understand the deeper esoteric symbolism of the statue, one must be familiar with the history of "the Elite" that goes back to ancient Egypt and pharaoh Akhenaton. I recommend you read first the article Akhenaton and the Hyksos kings.

Bull symbolism has a special meaning in the Cult of Aton. When Akhenaton implemented the religious reform in Egypt, only the worship of the sun god Aton was allowed. Worship of other gods was forbidden, except few gods which were tolerated. One of the exceptions was the Mnevis bull.

" ... the Mnevis bull was one of the few deities apparently tolerated by Akhenaten who decreed that a cemetery for the divine animal was to be made in his capital Akhetaten" - Richard Wilkinson (The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt)

Mnevis bull

The probable reason for this "toleration" was the fact the Mnevis bull had a close connection to the old sun god Ra (or Re), which was kind of a prototype of Aton. In Egyptian mythology Mnevis bull was considered as the soul ("ba") of Ra.

"The divine bull of Heliopolis which was known to the Egyptians as Mer-Wer and called by the Greeks Mnevis was originally an independent deity who was incorporated into the worship of the sun god at an unknown early date. Manetho claimed that the god's cult was introduced in the 2nd dynasty, but he appears in only a minor capacity as the 'bull of Heliopolis' in the Pyramid Text. Yet at some point Mnevis came to be regarded as the ba or 'power' of Re and a manifestation of the combined Re-Atum and as such gained considerable importance." - ibid
