People talk about us Children of The Hum as 'weirdo hippies, 'ragged walkers' blindly following something they couldn't hear, couldn't understand. They never understood that we lived in a landscape of wonder. They saw pylons, we saw sublime structures. – Trippy Pete, ex-Pylon Person

A fox jumping over a tomb, jumping over the moon. If you are lucky enough to witness such an event, you may choose to whisper important news to the fox: the passing of a loved one, the birth of a child, the fall of tyrants. The news will be passed on to the clan

Also just how some of the Shinto kami look like almost Lovecraftian monsters but are indeed gods, manifestations of the mysterious power and presence of the divine (linked to Brahman) and operating along the lines of some incomprehensible will or destiny. See Onamuchi above but also Take-Minakata.

The cunning folk may have the crow as their bird, but we witches have the swan. It’s they who gift us feathers for our cloaks. It’s they who take messages to our dead sisters and bring back wise counsel. Never an owned familiar, always an amplifier of magics. –

For the Hermit Fox is a shy creature. Approach too quickly, without establishing a rapport, and the door of the hermit shell, the operculum, will slam shut. But make no mistake, whilst the Hermit Fox is shy they are also fierce, tenacious and protective of their loved ones. 🦊🌘🐚
