About Foxes
Known for the magic of camouflage and invisibility. It is one of the most uniquely skilled and ingenious animals of nature. It can teach these skills to those whose life it enters. It can reveal what is growing and shapeshifting (or needing it) within your own world.
An examination of fox behaviors and characteristics will reveal much about the role it represents for you individually.
The coat of the fox serves as a camouflage and most fox coats have variations of color within them. This facilitates their ability to stay camouflaged and remain relatively unseen. The fox also has the ability to run up trees if it is necessary. This reflects an ability to move into new dimensions and call upon new resources instinctively. The fox also has very acute hearing. They are like mini-antennae. They can pick up the squeal of a mouse over a hundred and fifty yards away. They can teach you the ability to hear what is not being said, as well as any whispering that may be going on. They have a keen sense of smell, teaching you to discern, discriminate, and who to socialize with. Probably the fox's cleverest hunting technique is "charming". In this technique, the fox is seen near a prey, performing various antics. It will leap and jump and roll and chase itself, so that it charms the prey's attention. While performing the fox draws closer and closer without its prey realizing, as it is caught up in the seemingly non-threatening antics. Then at the right moment, the fox leaps and captures its prey. This teaches those who have the fox come into their life that they can capture any prize they truly will.
