A true story. Last Saturday,I was talking with a friend who has American Indian ancestors and we were discussing something Bob Smith told me he learned from a Navaho gentleman...that the Indians believe when you see a fox, change is coming.
Three days later, driving home from work I spotted a fox lying in a driveway. He sat up and watched me drive by.I said to myself, it’s just a fox...if you were to see like two or three foxes, it would be more like a sign change is coming. I thought “Send me a sign by showing me another fox and I will know it was something to take seriously. “
Three days later...again... on Friday, I was driving at work about to head in to clock out, when a rounded a corner and saw two young foxes sitting in the road. My blood went cold. My request had been delivered by...whomever or whatever.
Surely, these things can be coincidence but I do believe there are things about nature that we do not understand, that American Indians may have tapped into with their harmony with nature.
So.. Is Change Coming? In a big way? You will have to decide for yourself or see your own signs.
The indian lore in the southeastern US regarding animal sightings is a little different. Seeing an owl in the daytime means change, the death of something. Generally regarded as being bad but not uniformly bad without exception.
Thank you for that story. I really do believe that we have signs of the time everywhere, and you contributed to that. Are you a Christian?
“...foxes...”
Interesting post about the American Indian belief that sighting a fox portends change.
I have sighted 3 foxes wtihin the last 3 months. Two were alive and well and one road kill. I live in the upper mid Hudson river valley where there are fox, but they are very shy and the two I saw in broad daylight (near woods) were unusual. They were red fox.
I am over 50 and have never seen so many fox around - maybe 2 or 3 prior to that for my whole life.
I am not ready to say that it was a portent, but I did find it interesting.
