What does it mean to be a Celtic Fox?
The photo for this month’s calendar was taken in Ottawa, ON, and features a Red Fox. The Red Fox is one of the most common Canids, and foxes have appeared in folklore and tales all throughout the world.
They are frequently shown as crafty tricksters, although they can also be wise magical spirits or seductive enchantresses. Here are a few examples of foxes in popular culture and mythology!
The Native American fox
Foxes figure in Native American tradition in a variety of roles, although Fox is frequently shown as a trickster partner to Coyote, a male anthropomorphized Coyote spirit.
Foxes are knowledgeable and benevolent in certain stories. Others associate them with fire and the sun. Fox can be a small and cunning spirit who helps humans and animals in need or punishes pompous people. Fox can also be a bad omen, a thief who is greedy and malicious.
Celtic fox
The fox is a smart and cunning creature in Celtic mythology. The fox, a cunning trickster who knows the woodland better than anybody, represents the necessity to think quickly and strategically. They are highly adaptable creatures who also represent the necessity to adapt to changing circumstances.
The Celtic fox is a shapeshifter capable of transforming between canine and human forms at will. Because of this remarkable capacity, the fox may simply slip in and out of locations that are deadly to others. Foxes are also seducers, using their charm and beautiful appearance to seduce unsuspecting people.
The Asian fox
The various interpretations of the fox in Asian mythology share a common philosophy of the fox as a magical being, yet it differs between being a good or bad omen. The Chinese Huli Jing is a naughty trickster who blends into human society. The Japanese Kitsune is a highly deified creature with mixed feelings about humanity. The Korean kumiho is thought to be a bad omen, a seductress who literally eats men.
While academics are unknown where any of the myths originated, some similar motifs have emerged as a result of cross-pollination of fox spirit myths. The Asian fox spirit is typically shown as a mystical shapeshifter with up to nine tails, depending on its age and knowledge.
Foxes in Popular Culture
In popular culture, foxes and references to fox mythology can be found everywhere.
In North America, for example, children’s television, which is typically enjoyed and adored by both children and adults, frequently contains a plethora of foxes. With Tod and Vixey from The Fox and the Hound, or Robin Hood himself in the film of the same name, Disney is no exception to the cliche. Not to mention the new film Zootopia, in which a fox named Nick Wilde plays a smart and misunderstood secondary protagonist.
And it would be negligent of me to discuss foxes in popular culture without mentioning, at least once, the charming fox from the 1990s or those still addicted to Pokemon GO.
