Hi,

Greetings. I have just had a dream whereby a red female fox sat with me and her cubs and muzzled intoy face. It was so real and beautiful it made me wake up instantly . I have no children and do not want any so it’s not that. I do have a meeting with a friend whom I have been having discord with soon , and wondered if it was something to do with that ?
Hello ^^ foxes are mischievous but hardly evil, though they may find rest and sanctuary in the solace of shadows that doesn’t mean they cannot stand in the light and shine with brilliance. Joy, curiosity and whimsy lead to deep truth, understanding and connection to your purity. But love, forgiveness and abandonment of hate is the key. Just a tip from one fox to another be Keen on observing the signs, foxes have a knack for landing on their feet in sticky situations, but being intune to your intuitive instincts is so important, you can sharpen your perception by sensory deprivation “sight beyond sight, hearing beyond hearing”. But faith in your connection to all foxes is just as Important, remember we are all one.
That was so awesome what you wrote. Thank you for sharing ????
All liars need to remember that God’s Omnipotent, and that His Laws prevail. CHRIST has overcome this whole entire earth, and GOD will always overcome evil with His Truth. And Satan will not win against GOD, ever.
But I am not Christian, I am Pagan. I am not a liar just because I connect to the fox spiritually. Your preachings are empty to me, and your words are irrelevant to the true meaning of “fox”
My dream was do a Fox – it looked at me and fell over dead – not playing dead but dead……
“people who try tricking you have no chance”
Tricksters can never deceive GOD.
Chavo, are you Sure you understood exactly what Ann was saying? I know I don’t.
