ODOCOILEUS DEER “SIC CURRITE UT COMPREHENDATIS” “SO RUN, THAT YE MAY OBTAIN”

nothing runs like a deer! aside from the same color scheme as almost every large herbivore it also includes a heart as the deer has been associated with Gentleness, Unconditional Love and Kindness. Both Celtic and Native American hunters prayed to the deer to give them a good hunt, and in return promised to take no more than was essential for the survival of the tribe. This helps remind us that our spirit of gentleness and unconditional love should extend to all species, not only our own.
Maybe the most effective way to summarize the lessons of these beliefs, is to say that only when we move through life in the spirit of love for all beings can we melt the barriers that separate us from others, from other life forms, and from the beautiful mystery which is our own magical and spiritual gift.
