Deer would be a favorite totem for hunters, and the shamanistic relationship between hunter and hunted should be evident in this blend. Deer has the powers of speed, grace and invisibility. Deer is also considered a good luck omen.

Because of the Deer being a hunted animal, Deer teaches of sacrifice for the greater good. The Deer reminds us how to be grateful for what we are given. Silent as they are, Deer teach us the powers of listening and observation. We can see in ourselves through the wisdom of the Deer an appreciation for peace and quiet and the beauty of Nature. Graceful and elusive, Deer oil smells like deep forest.

Deer is an Elemental Animal of Earth, with a minor secondary Element of Water, and partakes of the Planetary energy of Moon, with a secondary Planetary rule of Venus. Deer is potioned on Mondays when the Moon is waxing.
