Moose Totem Animal

Moose, the largest member of the herbivorous Cervidae family, which includes deer and elk, are native to northern climates in North America, Europe, and Asia. They became extinct in the UK centuries ago. These animals graze on grasses, shrubs, moss, lichens, pine cones and aquatic plants below and on the water’s surface.

They are diurnal or daytime solitary animals. Males are bulls; females, cows and the young, calves or mooselings. Both sexes call to each other during the rutting season in September and October. The bull emits heavy grunting sounds, while females make a wail-like call.

In North America, wolves, grizzly bears and humans are moose’s only predators. Wolves sometimes bite the animal’s sensitive nose to immobilize their prey because the pain paralyses it.

Moose represents self-esteem and is also about the magick of life and death. Late autumn and early winter is her cycle of power. Moose symbolizes expressing joy of accomplishment, not in a boasting way or to seek recognition.

This is done in a spirit of sharing joy which is contagious. It’s about learning to explore new depths of awareness within that lie within the self and environment. Moose’s medicine includes primal female energies, longevity, value and integrity. (PaganismWicca)
