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.

Hi I posted the previous comment. The funeral was yesterday and that’s when I saw the dead fox. Today I have just seen another fox, a live fox. This has to mean something?? A few months back I had an astrologer do a reading. That week I had seen a fox about 3 times in my garden. She told me to look out for symbols and mentioned a fox before I even told her. I didn’t know it was important. I just don’t know what it means though. Is it a good sign or bad?
Hi my good friend passed away and later that day I saw a fox. On the day of the funeral I saw a dead fox on the side of the road when travelling from the funeral. Could anyone give some insight into this. Many thanks
It means a renewal of life after death. Live, in honor of those who no longer can. Live wild and free as the fox.
That’s a mobkrlreade-. Great thinking!
I saw one running in the field this morning. Pretty and agile, whats the message should i ignore my current love, cause he’s the fox
my mom dreamt that as she was holding fox babies in her arms as it was entering our house so please what is cause here
I just had a dream a red Fox attacked be at work and scratched me deeply. I kept asking everyone if i should go to the hospital, But noone wad taking it seriously. What does this mean??
I’m no legit dream interpreter, but in correlation to all that is said about dreaming of Fox spirit, it seems like you are about to get burned really bad by someone, and no one will see it coming. Maybe a “bad” fox (person) is going to manipulate you into doing something that’s going to seriously negatively affect you and no one will take you seriously because of it.
But that’s just my interpretation. I would say be cautious in who you trust right now. Have a great day!
– Fox
Perhaps you are the fox from your dream, but you are wounding yourself by denying your true self and purpose.
It means wake up from the deep sleep that is your life. You only get one. Live it.
Last night, I dreamt that I had bought a new house, but I needed to get something; so I went for a walk to the shop. I wanted to avoid my parents’ home because I was in a hurry; so I walked through a small patch trees. That’s when I saw a beautiful red fox. I stood and admired it while it was sniffing around the trees or looking for something. I hated that I was in such a hurry, but I continued on with my walk.
Could that really be a bad omen or warning? It was such a pleasant and welcome dream.
Oh, hey, look… That dream… that was peaceful, right? Well, it is what it is. Peaceful. I promise you, you are blessed. :) No worries. I’ve had peaceful dreams like that one, and trust me, if it WAS a bad omen, oh yeah, you would be frightened when you awaken. It would be very VIVID and scary too. So, you are fine. :)
Nina, your dream might mean that you are confused about what you want to do in the future but are rushing into something you are not ready for.
I haven’t really done much research on spirit animals and their meanings until today. On my way to work I saw 3 different types of animals some up close and personal,all within about a half an hour, which hasn’t been a common occurrence for me in the past. Driving on the freeway, I saw two deer especially close to the road. A little while later I stopped at a coffee shop. Before I got out of my car I started hearing a noise. A black crow was sitting on top of my car making noises and pecking really loudly on the roof as if it wanted my attention. I got out and looked at the crow which stayed there pecking and staring at me as if trying to tell me something. About ten minutes later I was driving to the train station and had to hit my brakes because a small red fox darted out in front of my car. This was in an area of businesses near the train station where the fox would definitely be out of place. Is it possible these animals have meaning and are trying to make me aware of of something or guide me in some way? And is seeing all three so close together mean anything? Any insight is welcome!I will continue reading thru the site also.
I’ve been seeing foxes for the past two years crossing the road, walking along the road running across yards I’ve even see a fox mom with 2 or 3 baby foxs an I was sitting on my mom’s porch when I found a small fox plastic toy an today I put 25c in the toy dispenser at the grocery store and the toy was of an all orange fox. There is so many accuracies to put them all down day night it don’t matter does this mean anything or just coincidence
Thanks for info. Saw 4 foxes yesterday (I’ve maybe seen 3 in my life prior to this) and then today I saw Simon Hainuk’s “Wise Fox” painting posted on my facebook feed. I have had several spiritual teachers and guides that, while helping me, where not what they presented themselves to be. They were false masters and false teachers, feigning knowledge and wisdom they did not truly have. I have learned much from them, I have also learned from their shortcomings – of the folly of the spiritually inflated ego and of the downfall of arrogance in any person, spiritual or not. They certainly have led their students down the wrong oath at times, mostly due to their ignorance and arrogance more than any deliberate manipulation. Also, I have gone through a long and complex road of spiritual awakening that required strong discernment and seeing through illusion. I feel I have done well in freeing myself from my mental, emotional, and spiritual slavery and, while on the path to freedom, there have been many traps along the way. Thank you, Wise Fox, for your guidance and support on this path to awakening.
P.S. I feel other relevant symbols to be Archangel Michael’s Sword of Truth – cutting through obstacles in your way and through the vines of lies in the jungle of the collective human consciousness. And The Eye of Horus – to see through the darkness with discernment – to see what is real in a world of misinformation and even deliberate deceitful disinformation (propaganda).
Key word (for me): discernment, thinking for yourself.
“even truth is filled with lies and to every lie is a grain of truth”
Thank you for sharing this ….walking through this now ….just witnessed the transformation of a Fox into spirit world, he was hit by a car but it was instant and miraculous ….wow Thank You.
I am a shadow spiritual healer and I see the shadow side of people, those aspects of themselves that they are blind to, are unacknowledged and projected onto other people as evil. A lot of spiritual teachers get lost in their own human ego and the human power game of manipulation and control. I have found the same things that you have and my lessons have revolved around taking my power back, being discerning and learning to trust my own inner guidance and my own spiritual knowledge. Fox is not one of my totem animals, but my daughters and I don’t fully understand the energy of fox because it is not one of my totem animals. I know that in this life I have had to have black witchcraft cleaned out of my consciousness and black witch craft has been cleaned out of my daughters consciousness. Cleaning the black witch from consciousness was a long and difficult journey. However spirit works through me now in a loving way to deal with manipulative and deceptive black-witches that are running around in society causing harm. Lots of fun, I am learning alot.
Can you help me protect myself from negative deceptive black witch vibes pls
Me too please
Your words carry weight friend. THANK YOU for your travels
Ok, so I have not been able to stop drawing/painting foxes and collecting things that correspond them I constantly have dreams about one playing with a raven in a feald of purple flowers. Does this mean the fox be my spirit animal/guide??? And what about the raven ???
I’ve seen 4 foxes in the past week and a half maybe 2 weeks, 3 at night, one during the day. One was definetely red but the others I’m not sure.. Before this I have not seen one in years. I’ve never been spiritual but I do consider myself a believer in signs and omens! What could this mean ??
I saw a red fox today across the creek broad daylight. We stared into each other’s eyes for a good five minutes, 3 minutes later a bald eagle flew over the creek… Blew my mind such beauty
I saw a green eyed Fox and it was staring at me in the eyes during the day what is this me and I’m not ripped out but I’m just wondering if it was a message from some sort of source energy
