The deer, symbol of life renewing itself
The deer is the third animal of the Native American wheel. It matches the end of spring, when nature is in full bloom, and the sign of Gemini, whose liveliness it shares. Talkative and outgoing by nature, it symbolizes eternal life.
Every year its antlers fall and grow back larger: that is why it is credited with the power to regenerate. Gentle, it is by no means defenseless, and its antlers remind us that gentleness can also command respect.
👉 Deer antlers are among the fastest-growing tissues in the animal kingdom: in spring, they can grow more than a centimeter (almost half an inch) a day.
