The Fox in LHP Symbolism

 My animal totem that is representative of my authentic self is the fox. In this post, I will explore how the fox totem can be seen through a framework that emphasises LHP tenets. 


In the LHP, the focus is on individualism, self-deification, and the rejection of conventional morality. The fox fits into this framework through its nature as a trickster - a being that manipulates rules and is not easily categorized from a moral perspective. In many cultures, the fox is associated with being representative of both wisdom and deception or even wisdom through deception. This speaks to the LHP tenet of embracing the shadow self through creating your own sense of morality, as opposed to following a moral framework that would be viewed as acceptable by broader society.


The fox's adaptability and resourcefulness represent a focus on autonomy, self-mastery, and the use of silent knowledge and magick to influence the natural world around you to align with your wishes. The fox thrives in both the light and the dark and is likely to interpret negative experiences as an opportunity to experience self-exploration and self-empowerment. 


Through being a fox in all interactions, I become ''supernatural''. Through aligning with the core qualities of the fox - adaptability, intuition, transformation, feminine energy, deception, kindness, and cunning, I am not confined by conventional norms and expectations and able to protect myself against potential threats. This fox-like essence manifests as an ability to express my authentic sense of self despite any adversity that may come my way.  I get to choose when to reveal myself fully, and when to remain in the shadows.  Being a fox means living authentically, not hiding parts of myself to fit in, but instead embodying the true essence of who I am, which often challenges social norms as a result. This sense of authenticity is what ultimately makes life meaningful.
