The
fox
represents the nocturnal flow of
Life,
and the cycle of
Power
where fox magic is most potent is at
Dawn
and
Dusk.
There are
twenty-one different species of foxes. This has great
metaphysical significance, as Card twenty-one in The
Tarot is the
World/Universe.
This Magnificent card reflects a
new World
opening up, a new way of thinking, the process of
Creation within bubbling up to the surface and beyond
the confines of the ordinary.
The World
is shifting into
new
patterns
that are beneficial to the
Journey of
the Individual
and bring the
Beholder
of Life
a fresh perspective in the flows of
magical sentience.
As the fox
is a
creature
of the Night,
it is imbued with great
Supernatural
power and is most visible at the times of
Dusk
and
Dawn,
the “between
Times”,
the magical realms which intersect our own World. The
fox is a guide that can open up into the realms of the
Faerie, the land of
mystery
and
adventure.
In
Oriental lore, the Fox was known to assume human form
and vice versa, for humans to assume the
form of
the fox.
This teaches to recognize the
magic of
the feminine
which is within us all whether you are male or female,
bringing into
balance
the
energies of Creation.
Foxes are
symbols of
Protection,
both personal and in aiding those who have passed over
to find their way into the
afterlife.
They make great impressions in the
journey of
Living.
An
examination of fox behaviours and characteristics give a
clue as to the qualities of symbolic meaning apparent in
these
Gorgeous
creatures;
their sharp snouts help to
focus the
energy
of
will and
determination.
Their large ears help to keep cool in Summer and
listen to
the songs of Gaia.
Their long bushy tails help to channel the
feminine
Creative force.
Their long thin legs help in
balance
and co-ordination.
Foxes have
Great
Stamina
and are masters of the
Art of
Camouflage,
to blend in with surroundings, moving with silence and
keeping intentions private.
This is
reflected in
learning
to recognize
and
nourish
the
aura,
the energy field which surrounds and penetrates the
physical body.
Foxes can
run up trees. This reflects the ability to
move into
new dimensions
and
new ways of thinking
and
perceiving the World.
Foxes can also teach
clairaudience,
the ability to hear the voice of Spirit.
Foxes have
excellent
eyesight,
the ability to see beyond the norm of physical awareness
and look into the
more
deeper places and spaces.
Their keenest ability is the sense of smell. This
teaches to use the art of
discernment,
the ability to
sniff out
situations
and people and to
ascertain
if the flow is right for the individual.
Foxes have
also
one
partner for Life,
reflecting this quality in relationships, in finding
your
Perfect
mirror,
Your
Beloved
Soulmate for Life.
The
Love of
the Home
is very important to those with Fox totems. The need to
make and create the
Sanctuary
for Life.
The fox is
a
Survivor
and a great
Hunter,
a perfect friend to
Nature.
Foxes have
small appetites which teach the
Beholder
to eat sparingly. This is beneficial to those who wish
to keep
lean and
trim.
Foxes are
dainty,
graceful
and
light-footed.
These traits shine in the personality of the individual
with
Fox as
their Totem.
One of
foxes cleverest tricks is “charming”.
Using this technique the fox will
perform various antics
while at the same time drawing closer to its prey. Then
at right moment, the fox leaps and captures its prey.
This teaches to
draw your
goals and aspirations
to you with all the
Passions
of your Heart.
