While the bison is about caring for the whole tribe – the Musk Ox is ancient, and walked with Mammoth! In Northern European traditions, the relative Aurochs, is a symbol of Strength – of drawing up energy from the earth and condensing it into the clouds, and raining down like fertility from the sky – the strength of this repeated cycle = is the strength of Aurochs.
Musk Ox, like Bullocks, is a travelling companion. He carries your load, indicating that your emotional burden will be lightening. With Musk Ox, it is important to keep your emotional objectivity, but also important to share with the herd – to keep your community around you. There are similarities between Musk Ox and Bison, but I just wanted to add these few additions to a previous vision.
