Blessing of the Fox

Come, fiery fox, Come catch the fire, Wipe the pain with thine tongue, Deplete, deplete the hot blood.

The fox was one of the most useful animals to shamans and sorcerers due to its speed and resourceful nature. It is maybe the most popular animal character in Finnish fables since it's very clever and cunning. In some occasions the red coat was also associated with blood and so the fox was present in many spells that were used to close wounds.

Blessing of the Raven

Raven, carry my woes, my sorrows, black bird. The raven was primarily seen as an ill omen, a messenger of death and grief. It was strongly associated with witchcraft and shape shifting and was often called "the witch bird".

However, in one of the songs of the ancient Finns the raven was also an empathetic helper; a bird you could trust your sorrows with and it would ease your pain by carrying the woes beyond dark waters so that they would no longer bother anyone.
