Animal Totem Blend: Deer
The deer is a sensitive, highly intuitive spirit guide. It strikes a balance between confidence and success and gentleness and grace. Deer's healing wisdom relates to the path of the open heart, gentle strength, unconditional love, and compassion. Ultimately, deer represent gentleness and heart intelligence and their energy is there if you've been hurt and your heart needs tending. Working with deer's energy can help you work toward your goals from a place of positive intentions and an open heart space. While the Deer represents gentleness and love; thanks to its horns, it's never defenseless. This spiritual animal can help you through difficult times and will show you that you have the energy to make a fresh start with even greater vigor and power. The symbolism and significance of the Deer as a spirit animal is strong and powerful. Artemis, the goddess of the hunt in Greek mythology, is depicted accompanied by a doe or a deer. For Native American shamans, the deer is a guide on the path of life and considered king of the forest, and let’s not forget it was Harry Potter’s Patronus!
