Fox represents cunning, wildness and diplomacy. She also is a warning to keep one’s counsel, when to hold silence and when to break silence by quietly observing situations, then deciding what words to use. Fox, like Coyote is also seen as trickster. Because Fox is most often seen at the Between Times, dawn and dusk, she is seen as a guide into the Faerie Realm.
Fox, Native American Pagan Symbol
Fox teaches how to gain confidence in one’s ability to see into the near future and to use camouflage in observing what is happening in the present.
Since ancient times, foxes were known for their slyness and cunning. One hunting method they employ is “charming” their prey. Foxes will act silly until they get the animal’s attention. They prance and whirl about until the target gets curious, draws closer and is within striking distance. Foxes have also played dead in order to attract their dinner. They hunt at dawn and dusk.
