Fox animal symbolism and traditions
The fox is often associated with the dark side of magic. In a lot of cultures, seeing a fox as you start a new project or endeavor is a bad omen. In some Native American belief systems, this animal represents the practice of negative sorcery and the dark manipulation of magic powers.
The fox has long been considered as a witty, quick and intelligent. In some European traditional tales, he’s the character who outsmarts humans and other animals alike and gets away even in the trickiest situations.
Dreaming about the fox
The fox and its ability to quietly and masterfully get into the hen house, have made this spirit animal a universal symbol of being sly, cunning, shrewd, clever, tricky and opportunistic. Therefore a fox in your dreams is often a symbol to watch out for danger from around you. There may be hidden enemies or rivals waiting for the right opportunity.
However, the fox may also be a symbol of connecting to the parts of you that are cunning and clever. Is there a situation that requires a clever solution? Is there an opportunity that is just waiting for you to take it?
Meditation to connect with the fox spirit animal
Meditation to connect with the fox spirit animal
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. As you exhale, allow yourself to sink deeper into a state of relaxation.
Imagine yourself walking through a dense forest, the trees towering above you and the underbrush rustling beneath your feet. As you go along a winding path, you suddenly feel a presence behind you – a fox, with its orange and white fur glowing softly in the dim afternoon light.
You are immediately drawn to this quick and clever animal. You follow the fox as it leads you deeper into the forest path. A sense of excitement and adventure wells up inside of you.
As you continue on the path, the fox stops and turns to you, its bright eyes shining with clever wisdom and understanding. It starts to speak to you, its voice soft and reassuring: “I am the fox, the keeper of secrets and the master of disguise. I am a creature of the night, guided by my intuition. I am agile and adaptable, and able to navigate through any situation with grace and poise.”
You listen to the fox’s words, feeling a sense of inspiration and connection to the spirit of this animal. You realize that the fox represents many of the qualities that you admire and aspire to embody: quick thinking, adaptability, and a strong intuitive sense.
Take some time to reflect on the qualities of the fox and how you could embody them more in your life. How can you be more adaptable and resourceful? How can you stay alert and aware of your surroundings? How can you trust in your inner wisdom more?
As you continue to meditate and connect with the fox spirit animal, allow yourself to be guided by its message of wisdom and reflect if it has anything else to teach you.
Now, the meditation is coming to a close. Take a few deep breaths and savor the feeling of connection with the spirit of the fox you’ve experienced during your meditative journey. Exhale and visualize the fox fading away into the forest, its energy still with you as you return to the present moment.
Know the fox is always with you, and that you can call its wisdom and insight any time you need it.

About 20 years ago I was involved with Fox energy to the degree I was given to know of it. For some time, it seemed rather dormant in my life.
Earlier this winter, however, I acquired an actual fox hat. After lately getting into a pattern of staying up very late for the past couple of weeks, it seems aligning with the Night has brought me into closer to our nocturnal friend. Earlier this week one paid a visit at a very late hour. It’s scream was unlike any I’ve heard. There also seemed an urgency in it beyond words. It seems Fox was alerting me to some matter(s) that need immediate attention, perhaps to give less attention where it’s been.
Thank You for your kindness.
Fox energy? Really?
Ok so I know my name is the rebel fox and I kinda chose that randomly but is it strange or is it just me that I saw a fox the day I first chose this as my name on a social network site? And then I got real depressed a while ago and I saw a DEAD fox!! That day was like a piece of me died! And then I see a dead fox! Ironic coincidence? Or spirit animal?
Ironic coincidence.
I reaaaalllllly want some light shed on this. I never really believed in spirit animals before, seemed a bit too, “mind sees what it wants to see” for me. However today something clicked and I’m in total awe at the synchronicity of foxes in my life. I’m a satirist by trade and when I look back, at every turning point in my life that lead me to that point, sure enough a fox was there. When I was in kindergarten I went on a school camping trip (my mum was a teacher, hence why I was there so young). I saw a fox out the window of the bus and my mother explained to me that foxes were an introduced species. They were a huge environmental problem. I hadn’t previously known this, but it was at that moment I realised that I am very sensitive to environmental issues. I had this sudden, irresistible urge that I still remember vividly, at 5 years old to write, direct and perform in a play about the impact of foxes on our continent. It was hugely successful at school (from a kindergartener’s perspective anyway) teachers and much cooler for me, kids in year 6 were patting me on the back, telling me how entertaining it was. Also that they learned something watching it. It was the first time I ever felt like I was naturally good at something. There was more sightings in between and I won’t bore you with all of them.
One that I think might be important is that I remember my father telling me that when he lived in the country, he used to shoot foxes as part of a government pest control program. I was in year 6 at the time and I remember this weighing heavily on my mind. It seemed hardly fair that they were culled. After all, they were introduced. They didn’t have a say in the matter but at the same time I could see that they were a devastating force on native creatures already under immense pressure. At the same time Britain was considering a ban on hunting foxes and I was on an excursion to our capital where I discovered another natural talent. I was very knowledgable and interested in politics. I knew a great deal more about politicians, their ideologies and the political system at large than any of my class mates, to the point that both the guide to the old and new parliament said they’d never had a student more interested in the tour before.
Fast forward to 2 years ago. I was interning at various radio stations and none of them were working out. It felt wrong being in all of them. I hated going but at that point I had been trying to get work in a station for over 5 years. Mostly because of these two hosts for a comedy show I loved on, wait for it, FOX FM. In my spare time, as I had just finished university and had no job I started making youtube videos. This felt much better. I really enjoyed the process but at that point no one was watching. I had only recently started, only a few months in and one day while I was writing a script for a video, feeling really annoyed that no one was watching I walked into the kitchen to begin filming and a fox had snuck its way in through the veranda door. I live in the middle of the largest city in the country so believe me when I say, I don’t know anyone who lives even 2 hours away from me whose even SEEN one let alone one trot into their house. I don’t know if this happens to everyone else, but every time I’ve ever seen a fox they’ve stared at me for what seems like 30 seconds but I’m sure it’s only a couple and then they dart off. I then set up the shot feeling much better about it all and a month or so later, I made my break through video. It was a political satire. The two things I’d felt most adept at in my life had combined and I am now being payed to do it. At every major step of the way it seems a fox was there in one form or another, and tonight, while I was sitting with my girlfriend on our favourite spot, this secluded bay not many people know about for valentines day, a fox emerged from the bushes. Naturally I was the one to spot it and again it looked at me for what seemed like 30 seconds but it was only a few and then it darted away. I’m not even sure what I want from anyone. I guess most people will say, “seems like you already know what it means”, and you’re right I sort of do. I just, I dunno it all hit me today that this is, an incredibly significant creature in my life and was wondering if anyone else had some perspectives on what they think it means when I see a fox? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this huge message!
I live in a city not far from the beach. In the past 7 months I have seen and met withwild foxes 16 times!!!!
A few weeks ago there were 2 waiting next to my peked carat night when I came out of the GYM. is that strage or what!!
No wonder I met one waiting to guide me on my first Schamanic journey and he is present ever since.
I do not quite know what his mesage to me is just yet but hope to find out.
Dave was that in Santa Cruz Calif that you encountered these foxes?
I just saw a Fox last night 2/11/14 in Mission Plaza next to Holy Cross Church.

I saw a black fox tonight, I was near a shopping mall, getting ready to exit the car to go get some cash at the bank, and I saw something black coming out of the snow in front of me, I first thought it was a cat cause of his small form, but closer it was coming at me, more I could see his pointy ears on the top side of the head and his long nose, and I said to myself… Dang… A black fox… Its fucking rare is’nt ? And by a shopping center…
thank you nanny
thank you nancy i love you good story
earse the fist one
I saw a FOX today … on my way to pick up some papers and I had to slow down because it was about to cross the road in front of me .. it started out as I turned a corner and then looked right at me, stopped and turned around and ran back toward the bush and just sat there watching as I went by *wow* .. the cars behind me all saw it and slowed down too … kinda fascinating .. :D
I had no idea my spirit animal was a fox until the day after I saw a fox on 1-5 near Los Banos while my husband and I were driving from Patterson back home in the Bay Area. I was the only one that saw him on the hillside and he was looking, it seemed, right at me. The next day, I went to a psychic workshop on learning how to meet your spirit guides. Towards the end of the workshp, we discussed how animal spirits can be your guides and I suggested that the fox was mine and I happened to be sitting next to a psychic who confirmed with her spirit guides that mine is indeed a fox. This happened sometime in 2013-2014
Moving forward, last night, 1/14/2015, I was laying in bed and started getting images popping up in my head. The 1st was the face of the fox, the 2nd was a soldier carrying a gun and was dressed in a green uniform and the last was a fallen angel. My interpretation was that I’m dealing with spiritual warfare or it’s upon us. I’m curious to know how others would interpret this????
I wanted to share with you that a fox walked down the driveway as I was looking out the kitchen window. I pulled my room-mate alongside me but she just could not see it, insisting it was a local cat.
The fact that he made the turn into the wood, and stopped to look directly at me, convinced me that there was some deeper meaning.
I am not sure of the prophecy of your dream. However the fallen angel signifies something very sad. My first guess is, use your fox medicine to avoid an entanglement with a militant person so that your own guardian angel remains protected in the process.
I think it my case, it could mean getting around the cunning of someone in my community by using my own abilities–someone who wants to take me down.
I hope you embrace the gift that fox has brought you.
I came here to see what my recent sightings of foxes might mean. I found fox furs on sale. That’s just wrong.
My Native spirit name is Blue Fox, and this describes me 110%.
WOW me too!

This weekend I killed a fox on I-5 while taking my sister back to California. There was no time to swerve when I saw it, and that would have probably been dangerous anyway because there were other cars around. This is the first animal, other than insects, that I’ve ever hit with a car. Why did it have to be a major totem of mine? Although I just realized, because I’ve been a bit distraught, that I may have killed my cat a year and a half ago, but it could have also been someone else going through our alley. If we hadn’t been on the interstate I would have went back and removed it from the road, I hate roadkill and always have a little mental ritual I do when I see it.
that was mean of you to do that
