9 Tail Fox Fairy

[peacock]

The Nine-tailed fox fairy is not from some comic books or what so ever. They exist and held in high esteem in the Japanese culture. It is a blessing that in this lifetime we have a chance to get in touch with these amulets. The nine tailed fox fairy represents wisdom, charm luck, nurturing 6th sense to remove gossips and very good for Metta and inter personal luck.

In Japanese folklore it is believed that foxes -or 'kitsune' as they are also called- are intelligent beings and possess magical abilities. The more tails a kitsune has the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. In some folktales it is said that a kitsune will only grow an additional tail when it has lived for 1000 years.

When a kitsune grows its ninth tail, its fur becomes golden or white. These nine-tailed foxes gain the abilities to see and hear anything happening anywhere in the world. Other tales attribute them infinite wisdom. Most notably they are known for their ability to take on human forms an ability learned when it reaches a certain age (usually 100 years).

Foxes are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women. Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a fox. Other supernatural abilities commonly attributed to the kitsune include possession, mouths or tails that generate fire or lightning (known as kitsune-bi; literally, fox-fire), wilful manifestation in the dreams of others, flight, invisibility and the creation of illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality.
