Spiritual Meaning:
The Minotaur is a mythical beast – half man and half bull – that was trapped within the first labyrinth created. Spiritually, it is symbolic of man’s instinctive urges overcome by sheer bravery.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
In dreams, depending on our personality, the Minotaur can be seen as a figure either to be pitied or feared. His conquest is part of the Hero’s Journey to self-actualization or realization of our own power.

Everyday Material Aspects:
As a recognizable fabulous beast, viewed from a practical perspective, the overcoming of the Minotaur denotes the solving of problems in a well thought and logical manner (mind against instinct).
