The Magic of Deer

Image
I connect with multiple animals. It’s kind of fun but also makes me feel like I’m cheating on my main animal spirit. Lol The Panther is my main. Cats in general are my deepest connection, both wild and domestic. Deer are another animal I connect with. Giphy I see deer as gentle, graceful, peaceful, and spiritual creatures. It makes me happy and calm just to look at them. They’re beautiful. Magickal Properties The magickal meanings behind deer are similar to how I see them. If the deer is your animal spirit, it generally means you have a good intuition and you’re sensitive. The deer’s gentleness and grace are good things to channel into your own life, as well as trusting your intuition. The deer also reminds us to be kind to ourselves and others. Giphy Deer Magick in Pop Culture I’m only going to give a couple of examples that I am familiar with here. These are by no means the only time deer and magick pops up. Let’s talk about Harry Potter first. For...

The Magic of Panthers

I also made a video on this one. It’s at the bottom of the post right before the sources. General Info Black Panther is not actually a species of cat. It’s terminology used to refer to cats that are part of the genus Panthera and that have black fur. The Panthera genus includes tigers, lions, jaguars, leopards, and snow leopards. www.wildcatfamily.com “Black panther” most often refers to black-coated leopards and black-coated jaguars.

The Magic of Owls

Image
Owls are interesting creatures. They are nocturnal, which appeals to me as a nocturnal witch, and they are associated with wisdom among other things. (More on that in a bit.) They have made appearances in pop culture and in mythology. I’m going to try to cover as much as I can in this post! Giphy About Owls Owls are birds of prey and nocturnal as I mentioned. They tend to hunt other birds, insects, and smaller mammals like mice and rabbits. They are basically all over the Earth. They are divided into two families called true owls (strigidae) and barn owls (Tytonidae). Giphy One of the most interesting facts about owls in my opinion is that they can rotate their heads as much as 270 degrees. That’s insane to me. Giphy They have a wide range of sizes from the Elf Owl as little as 31g (1oz) and 13.5cm (5in) all the way to the Eurasian eagle-owl and Blakiston’s fish owls that are up to 4.2kg (9.3lbs) and 71cm (28in). Since they hunt mainly at night, they...
