The tiger he skinned, it is the mind of sin, and he now sits upon it, having feared it no more.
He has snek around his neck, because he can help you with poisons, even the most poisonous poison, ignorance.
He's bro's with a bull because a bull is the initiator for milk. (virgin cows don't have milk)
Nandi is there to remind you to tolerate your natural desires and give them proper placation.
The trident is a metaphor for the three states of matter/focus etc.
(active, passive, and truth walking)
Shiva is holding these forces as a weapon against ignorance, and this is what it means.
The beads he wears come from a tree that can cure cancer.
Shiva was originally created by a very wise sage many thousands of years ago to remember these "Miraculous remedies" and to express them.
The ancients understood that if you drink a mixture of cow poop, milk, ghee, and cow urine mixed with honey, you will have health.
They also understood that cobra venom can cure sickness \, and that Shiva cures cobras (pissed of hindu ghosts) by dispelling their poison.
Nothing is good or evil in the proper dose.
The three points on his fork encompass it all.
Om namah Shivaya means I bow down to shiva.
SHiva means auspiciousness, and a sort of falling into place.
Shiva gives it, we accept that the juggernaught doesn't crush us.
We love his cows, and he will love our world.'
Love him and you will be able to love everything that crwls or digs or swims or flys,
Shiva killed my fear of death.
Shiva saved my life from poison.
Shiva likes dogs.
Shiva likes baths, and snakes, and ganja and mountains, what's not to love? (maybe the cannibal cults or Aum Shinrinkyo)

Read Shiva Tattva by BV Narayana Goswami maharaja. Explains the intimate relationship between Krsna and Lord Shiva.

Shiva is a bull because of his bullshit we have to do a lot of stuff differentlyaccording to mythology.
When Uma-parvati was taking a bath and made ganesha as a guardian shiva got his head cut off.
When shiva was being annoyed by cupid, he broke his meditation and burned cupid to death, and taht's why we fall in love sometimes to the wrong people,
He'll totally help you find a lover though because "lol mah bahd"
Shiva's love for his wife is eternal and so strong it is in fact the only thing keeping the universe going.
Eventually Shiva and Shakti will get sick of each other, and it will be the end of our time.
Because once stillness and energy stop existing in marital harmony, then everything is either ice cold
(shiva likes it when you bathe in cold ass water)
Or energy alone would be just explosive vapor uncontained forever. (Or Dhumavati but she's another god to swallow)

Who, or what, is Shiva?
PIC RELATED.
The earliest reference to Shiva is at the churning of the ocean.
Here, Shiva, drank all the poisons of the world from the ocean. Way to take one for the team, big guy.
He kept the poison in his throat instead of swallowing it.
His throat turned blue, hence the appelation: "Neelakantha"
>(neela=blue, kantha=throat)
This is considered to be his main attribute: He has significant yogic powers which he uses to keep the world safe, no matter what.
It's okay, he can take that shit no problem, cus he's a boss.

More about Shiva.
He is powerful and wrathful. He is respected for granting boons to gods and goddesses, as well as disciples and devotees.
Even an evil person can get help from Shiva, by way of severe penance.

He is extremely protective.
An example is when he immolated the God of Love with his third eye, who peeked on him making tantric love with his wife.
He also did such a thing to Ganesh, his adoptive son.
Dude has a penchant for immolating motherfuckers who think they're all shit, but really they ain't shit.
When the other gods/goddesses complained, he restored the life of the immolated being with a new body, This is why Ganesh has an elephant head (his original one was destroyed by Shiva's third eye. He took the head of a baby elephant as a replacement and brought him back to life when his wife complained)

A long time ago, Shiva used to be called "Rudra"
which basically means "WRATHFUL" and such.
He has an alternate form called "Veerabhadra"
"Bhadra" means terrible or wrathful.
He basically pops out of Shiva when he gets mega-pissed and fucks shit up with raeg.

He is considered to be an all-powerful, extremely impressive, stern and harsh lord.
He is associated with fire, for example, yogic fire, tantra and penances/disciplines.
As you can see, his opposite forms are complementary:
Dancing = Creation/Creativity
Anger = Destruction

As well as being a wrathful destroyer (of ignorance) he is also a superb and peerless lover!
MORE OPPOSITES!!!!
DEATH/KILLING aspects (fools, evil beings.)
LOVEMAKING/CARING aspects (family, wife, ganesh)

In parallel to Enkidu of babylonian mythology,
he was a celibate (AND VER POWER ONE TOO)
When he got married he had tantric sex for 3 days straight (some places say longer)

His love making and tantric, psychic and yogic skills are extraordinary.
He also demanded the same of his wife, Parbati/Parvati.
She is considered to be a house-wife archetype.
Their tantric and psychic joining is represented as one character:
Ardhaneshvara (some wierd spelling :p)
Basically, he fucked her so good, they became inseparable. They are ONE tantric being.
Not a beast with 2 backs (ignorance, less)
But a best with 2 faces (working together)

He drinks GANJA/CANNABIS and is the lord of all STONERS and SIDHS and probably RASTAS and SIKHS too etc. (please take it lightly :p)
He rests on the universe (anantaseshanaga)
He wears matted dread hair to symbolise non-attachment to society and worldly ways.

He tramples demons, representing ignorance and falsehood.
He has mastery over his animal nature symbolised as a vicious tiger (or lion).
This is usually represented by animal-skin or riding an animal, such as in Durga's representations

Nice 22:22:22, by the way
Would you go so far as to say he is ALWAYS stoned out of his mind? And as such is resting in some sort of lotus or clamshell in the middle of the ocean? I used to have dreams of the sort when I was very, very young- say 2/3, and I remember the same feeling then, in the dreams, as being on LSD now. Any commentary/care to conjecture as to the reason?

I would say he is MEGA HIGH or MOST HIGH or something like that.
If anything, drugs are an accessory to the WOAH IM FUCKEN TRIPPIN OUT CONSCIOUSNESS that he usually resides in.
His consciousness is beyond drugs.

Well... If Shiva takes issue with it, that's up to him.
I find it very unlikely that VEDIC MASTERS know more about LORD SHIVA than others.
LORD makes himself known to whoever he likes, however he likes, whenever he likes.
Knowledge of the lord is not limited, sold, taught, but intuited, shared and understood limitlessly.
I do not disagree or argue with scholars, since there is no point in debating with third parties.
To know the LORD is to be devoted to the LORD.
In any case, GOOGLE fucking works like a boss and can produce much more information than I.
Sorry, didn't mean to tread on your toes.

KRISHNA AND SHIVA
(A TRUE STORY)
Once, Krishna turned into a sexy lady to seduce Shiva.
Shiva got so excited he ejaculated on Krishna's thigh.
NICE ONE SHIVA
SHIVA/KRISHA NO HOMO
(Krishna: "I was transformed as a girl!")
(Shiva: "Don't care, gonna cum")
(Krishna: "Noooo! Stahp it!")
(Shiva: "QUIT RUNNING FROM ME BITCH!")
(Krishna: "Don't cum don't cum don't cum-! Damnit! all over my legs.")
