Animal Guidance Series: Mouse Medicine

Call IT In with Dar

People around the world have been superstitious about mice across all cultures and across many centuries. Although the mouse arrived in North America with European settlers, they have been on Earth for more than 65 million years. They originated in Central Asia, and there are over 1,100 Different identified species. Although the mouse has terrible eyesight, it has supersonic hearing, and they are excellent jumpers, climbers and swimmers. They don't like cold weather and can squeeze through tiny gaps in search of warmer locations. Those of us who live in cold climates up north know that well. Their teeth never stop growing, and they are a common character in the folklore of many cultures. Overall, a mouse symbolizes endurance, focus, wit, fertility, opportunism, disease, and death. In the Far East, mice are associated with luxury and prosperity. Their images are sculpted into high price Chinese porcelain vases. It is the first of 12 zodiac signs in the Chinese calendar, and represents new beginnings, divine power, as well as being seen as a messenger between the physical and spiritual world.

The world is certainly filled with multiple stories and symbolism of this tiny creature. So remember to call on mice medicine! Call on the spirit of the mouse! Call it into your life. “Call
