Animal Guidance Series: Ox Medicine

Call IT In with Dar

Spirit animals, animal talisman, animal totems, animal symbolism or animal medicine, no matter what we call it…this study of animal folklore, mythology, and overall history is entirely fascinating. And the story of the ox or oxen is no exception! In many Asian communities, the Ox is historically respected for serving human masters for over 6000 years, with loyal, honorable patience and a commendable work ethic. The Ox was once part of a large herd that roamed across North America, Europe, Asia and Africa. While wild Oxen still exist in some parts of the world, South America and Australia have no wild oxen at all anymore. Oxen are docile, strong and useful for plowing fields and pulling heavy loads. In some regions they are also raised for food. The coat of an Oxen is commonly reddish brown. However, there are also black, gray and white ones in some areas. They have horns, a large flap of loose skin under their neck, shoehooves like horses, and long tails often feathered at the end. Overall, the ox symbolizes strength, power, determination, hard work, harmony, balance and perseverance. It also represents masculinity, renewal and leadership.

Call in the ox spirit to help you unleash your talents and skills to accomplish the almost impossible goals in your life. Call in the ox for strength, power, determination, harmony, balance, and leadership. Call oxen medicine into your life. “Call IT in With Dar!”
