Foxes (featured above) are known for their cleverness, ability to outsmart predators, and resourcefulness. The fox totem thus symbolizes mental prowess, quick-thinking, and the ability to find creative solutions to problems.
Totems serve as spiritual emblems with symbolic meanings and significance for individuals, families, and clans. Depending on the source, several meanings can be attributed to each totem. They are also part of the “waking dream family” for those who recognize that a connection exists between outer events and our inner states of consciousness.
