Animal Name: Fight & Flight (Hare)
Mystical Attributes: Camouflage and a keen eye.
Healing Properties: F&F is fantastic at taking on both your fear and anger, leaving you free to feel peaceful and rested.
What would a person use it for: Flight guides in issues both big and small, from optimal plant-watering frequencies to career/relationship advice. Fight protects, from both external threats and personal insecurities.
History: F&F was born like all other hares: long-legged, swift, with a healthy dose of precaution. There were many predators, and it quickly learned to dash and conceal. Throughout its life, however, it grew conflicted and weary of running at the hint of its own shadow. It’s form grew large and restless, shifting to match its contrary nature. It now guides those who similarly find themselves at odds with themselves.
Why this is your chosen creature: I was always very attached to rabbits/hares as a child, and that has only grown as an adult. Their ability to be fearful, quick, watchful and curious has always resonated with me. I often find myself conflicted and pulled between two extremes, and that’s something I find reflected in F&F’s inherently problematic duality.
