The Deer

 What part of me is looking for protection?

In the Nordic cultures the stag is a celestial animal, its antlers represent the ladder to heaven.

This explains that in the Christian religion the stag often stands for Christ and has a redeemer symbolism. The stag and the unicorn are synonymous in mythology. They stand as an image for the unity of soul and spirit. The stag also has an erotic meaning in popular belief because of its rutting fights for the hind. From a depth psychological point of view, it can symbolize repressed female traits in men or male traits in women and ask them to accept them.

Sometimes the deer promises women happiness in love, whereby they may have to put horns on someone, - it announces success and brilliant ideas to men, which are not limited to the erotic alone.

He often points out that one should be content with modest prosperity and quiet family happiness.
