Deer
Sound: Light Sound, good resonance
Gentleness – Being not only gentle with yourself and others but also tell your story in a gentle way to get your point across. Subtlety, gracefulness and femininity. Also in certain traditions the Deer is seen as the sacred messenger.
Deer brings the gentleness and grace of the feminine principle. Whether you are male or female, opening to the qualities of the deer will enable you to achieve a greater degree of sophistication, subtlety and elegance – in the best possible senses of these terms. Deer calls to us from the Otherworld, from the realm of Faery and invite us to look beyond the material, beyond the superficialities of life, toward the heart of things, toward the realm of cause rather than effects. Deer invites us to begin the exploration of the Otherworld, of the spiritual dimension of life.
In Celtic tradition deer were known as “fairy cattle” and it is said that they are milked on the mountaintops by the fairies. Others believe that they are fairies themselves and have taken on the form of deer. The Cailleach is also linked to the deer and has been know to take care of them and protect them in the mountains. The deer features in many of the ancient stories as magical beings.
For those of us who hunt for knowledge and not to kill the shape-shifting deer will lead us ever deeper into the heat of the forest, even deeper into encounters with the Otherworld and with the realm of the Faery
