The God Of Wisdom Options

After much introspection, thought and meditation, I've come to the conclusion that wisdom is the highest virtue. I define wisdom as knowledge of what is most beneficial / correct / effective in a particular situation. I realize there are other definitions, but this one suits my thinking best.

Regardless of whether or not you agree (that wisdom is the highest virtue), what Spirit or God would you suggest working with if you wanted to tap into wisdom?

Thanks

I had a lucid dream a few nights back. In it, a trusted friend of mine came to me and gave me a bag full of toy animals, like little models. He told me to choose a spirit animal as a totem. Afterwards, I read an article on wikipedia about totems and found this interesting definition: "that from which I draw my purpose, meaning, and being", aside from also being representational emblems for clans in north american tribes through which they identified their ancestry. I hardly spent 5 minutes thinking about what my totem might be when my thoughts went straight to Griffin. Are there any Deities linked to the Griffin or correspondences that you know of? Any tips on the spirit of the Griffin in general? Also, can I expect continued workings with it to affect my instincts? (By which I mean, will I begin to instinctively act with Griffin-like characteristics, which if I understood correctly, include things like wisdom, strength, loyalty, fierceness?)

Thanks for your responses VD, appreciate them.
