Fox

Single-card meaning

A cunning trickster, the fox has been traditionally known to farmers as a thief that steals their hard earned crop. For that reason, some of the more common meanings to the fox include deception by a cunning and shrewd creature.

But we can also understand the fox as a creature that engages in that kind of behavior in order to adapt and survive. Sometimes, in order to make ends meet, we have to engage in egotistical and selfish behavior. Self-care is sometimes interpreted by others as selfishness. The methods they use may certainly not be honest or fair, but those may be the only means available to them.

The intelligence of the Fox can also translate to not just sneaky behavior, but also suspicion and distrust. They tread lightly on their environments, aware of all the danger that may be lurking. This too, is a survival instinct.
