Answer by  toastedcheese (216)

In Celtic mythology, pigs are associated with the Otherworld (the world of the gods and magic). In the Welsh Mabinogion, pigs are a gift from the Otherworld, and in several texts powerful wild boars are hunted by heroes in legendary quests. Neo-pagans might use this symbolism in their own worship practices.

I have read much of Wicca and have long considered myself Pagan with aspirations of initiation into a Wiccan coven one day, and I have not heard of any pig having any sort of significance in any rituals or holidays. It could be a symbol of something for divination, but divination is not strictly a Pagan practice.
