The word chameleon derives from the Greek "Khamaileon" and means "the lion that drags it on the ground".
In many cultures the chameleon is the messenger of the gods and guides the souls in the realm of the dead.
According to the Bushmen he would have the power to cause rain. At the Bayaka represents the God of the Arenati sky.
At the symbolic level the chameleon represents the evolution, the transformation since it is able to change color.
This means that in life it is important to change, be authentic and follow your heart.
The slowness with which it moves indicates that you can reach your goals a little at a time respecting yourself.
