The word foxfire conjures up something mysterious, something other-than, a strange and evocative light. Both the fox and fire are mercurial entities, and back in the mid-1400s the English combined the words to name the captivating glow that arises from some mushrooms.
If tricksters had an aura, it would be foxfire.
And if you are stuck, you need a trickster to bring you some foxfire, some unexpected, strange gift from the otherworld. Just like Prometheus brought fire to humanity, or how Grandmother Spider stole the sun, the fox has the capacity to bring a particular quality of light necessary for human life.
This fox is your own inner trickster, half in dream and half awake, capable of harnessing an otherworld light so that you can see deeper into the mystery of your own existence.
