Goose symbolism: Protection, Loyality, Care, Reliability, Intelligence, Guide, Divine support Geese were adored by the romans because they warned the romans from an attack. So the romans had a yearly festival where geese would get a lot of food, sat on red-golden pillows. Geese were also adored by the egyptians. They were intermediary between heaven and earth and were symbolic for the soul of a deceased person. The greeks also gifted a goose to their lover, because geese symbolised beaty. The golden goose stands for luck and wealth. Fun fact! About a third of all geese are homosexual! (And people still say homosexuality is unnatural)
