Rua - The Fox
19 February - Blustery Winds Time - 20 March
Take full responsibility for your actions.

This is the last totem of the annual cycle - the moonth which precedes the spring equinox, and one of the first woodblock animal designs I cut, based on a fox skull. In the Medicine Wheel Fox people, like their totem animal, are sensitive and intuitive and have a head for heights both physical and spiritual.

The Fox is known in ancient myths and fables for his wit and cunning, a sacred trickster who uses clowning as part of his strategy. The founder of the great monastery Clonmacnoise, St. Ciaran, had a fox friend who carried his holy books for him.

Elements : Water with Air. Colour: Blue/green.
