yeah most people know my name by now..
Thought this was cute.. took it from Adam Star's page.. but is it really ME? Who can say, being an AstroSphinx, who can really know the "real me"?
I see the fox as being in a world half way between cat and dog.. urban and yet out in the landscape of the countryside.. the one who lives in areas of transition, and with transition comes the need for flexiblity and the ablity to transform situtations which can be crisis, to advantagous conditions.. this is how I see it.. then it would ring much more like me.
In Japan there are lots of myths about foxes as well.. not to mention that I recently said something about the Brittish Queen giving up fox hunting and shooting at ex MI6 agents instead.. ;) (in my dreams!!)
But the name Inachus is a river god and only seems to have a relationship to Greek mythology... but there are some Egyptian referances. There is a relationsihp to the Eleusinian Mysteries..
But a fox and a river (frozen) are symbols we see in the last two of the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching.. a fox crossing a river.. personal referance with that was that the last reading I did for myself personally was number 64.."Not Yet Completed" or "Before Completion"... it is where a fox is trying to cross a frozen river and not get his tail wet.. or fall through the ice for that matter..it is a symbol of water and fire.. moving towards each other.. if you take it apart, the fox being the fire walking on the water of the icy river..
I got it with 3 changes last time.. changes to the inverse number hexagram 46 "Assending" or "Pushing Upward"..(Earth over Wind) Image of a sprout growing from under the earth to reach above ground..
