E-tsa-tee

It's astonishingly beautiful to look at - the bright blue-green hue of the stone captures the eye immediately. From its gentle curves and smooth surface, it's clear that this piece was painstakingly carved by a skilled artisan. Holding it in your hand, you can feel the weight of history in its presence - turquoise has long been revered as a symbol of protection and good fortune. This fox seems almost alive, with its frozen pose suggesting imminent movement. Its delicate features convey both grace and cunning, combining to create an enigmatic charm that never fails to captivate those lucky enough to encounter it. 

The fox (Łanako) is often called “sly,” and this quality may be attributed to the way this creature camouflages itself while silently observing the world around it. The fox’s senses are ever alert, so that it may avoid any danger for itself and its closely bonded family. Twenty-one types of foxes exist around the planet, and in various cultures they are associated with the feminine, as well as with the supernatural, including sixth sense perception, invisibility, and shapeshifting.

The fox meaning can remind us not to reveal too much too soon, or that exercising discretion and restraint can be key to self-empowerment. One great gift of fox medicine is that they can adapt well to most anything for the good of the self and clan, so they will most certainly survive, dwelling comfortably in the borderlands and twilight, always allowing for a bit of amusement and magic along the way.
