The Scene
After a dinner cooked over the campfire, the travelers settled comfortably in their wagon for the night. They ventured deep into the forest so that no uninvited guests would disturb them. They very much want to get a good night's sleep in an atmosphere of silence and peace. And this is exactly what these lazy foxes absolutely adore—the pleasure of theft multiplied by the pleasure of fooling unsuspecting travelers. They step softly across the clearing, confident in their thieving skills. These are foxes of the magical forest, and they're not interested in what other foxes usually steal, like food or game. You can never be sure what the foxes might want and how they might use it.
Interpretation
When these cunning thieves appear in a reading, know that something is happening behind your back. Someone is trying to take possession of something through deception or theft. You have let your guard down while in a cozy spot. Or perhaps you showed inattentiveness? Or maybe you violated your own ethical code?
Brief Meaning
Meanness. Secrets. Strategy. Using wit to get what you want. Unethical behavior.
If You Look Closely
The fox with a teacup in its teeth has been hunting for one like it ever since he stole the matching saucer.
