ART TITLE: “Spirit Fox”                ARTIST: Christie Marie Elder-Russell

The fox is a mysterious & charming canine animal which is featured heavily in the myths, legends, and storytelling traditions of cultures around the world. Found on every continent except Antarctica, the fox has lived alongside mankind since the dawn of civilization and continues to inspire the human imagination to this day.

Native Americans, Europeans, Japanese, Africans & more all have stories and myths about this wild beautiful creatures. Some stories are of a cunning and sly nature and others are of magical powers, protection and blessings.

A few of my favorite legends of Fox energy are these...

Fox Spirit Animal

If the fox is your spirit animal then you are likely a shy and reserved person who enjoys their privacy. Though shy, the fox spirit animal in very playful and does form deep relationships with a select few whom they trust.

People with the fox as their spirit animal may be misunderstood and thought of as rude, shifty, or withdrawn, simply because they like to keep to themselves. Don’t be discouraged, though! The people who would judge you for your shyness and don't bother to get to know you before judging are not the people whose company that would be healthy for you anyway.

The fox spirit often resides in people who are ambitious and creative. Passionate and prone to dreaming big, the fox spirit sets goals and works tirelessly to achieve them. 

People with the fox spirit animal are artistic, but may express themselves in unconventional ways. This is all part of the fox spirit’s unique way of viewing and interacting with the world. The fox spirit animal sees hidden meanings that others do not and seeks to draw connections between patterns that other people don’t even notice. Because the fox is often overlooked and found in shadowy places, people with the fox spirit animal are observant and enjoy learning to read the emotions and motivations of others. People-watching is a favorite pastime for the fox spirit.

Fox Totem Animal

The fox totem animal is associated with dreams and premonitions. If your totem animal is the fox then you may be slightly more tuned in to the flow of time and the subconscious than most people.

People with the fox totem tend to have intense dreams that are filled with imagery and symbols. This is because the fox totem is both very open-minded and very introspective. Fox totem dreams might be confusing, but they allow unique insights into the psyche if explored properly.

The fox totem animal is often found in people who experience “deja vu” often and may feel disconnected with the forward march of time. While not every uncanny sensation constitutes a vision of the future, experiencing premonitions can be a very potent and moving sensation. The fox totem is all about heightened senses which help you to choose paths that are safe and fruitful.
