Weasel - Pagan Symbolism, Furred Kin: Symbol of Stealth, Fierceness, Tenacity
Whose Weasel
Weasels have a negative reputation as being sneaky cowards for those who
don�t know the true nature of the animal. In reality, they are bold,
aggressive, tenacious, clever and confident. They prey upon mammals and
birds larger than themselves and have been known to kill hawks when
these raptors try to capture and kill them.
Intriguing symbolism and lore surrounds these, sometimes misunderstood,
animals.
Weasel, The Animal
Weasels are the smallest members of the carnivorous mustelidae family
which includes stoats, fishers, minks, martens, wolverines, otters,
badgers and polecats, which aren�t skunks, a common misconception, but
an animal of its own. Mustelids are native to all continents except
Australia and Antarctica, oceanic islands and Madagascar.
They are cunning and tireless hunters, bounding and zigzagging, while
pursuing their prey. Weasels can burrow into tunnels, swim and climb
trees. Their preferred meal is mice. When mice aren�t abundant, weasels
will also hunt rabbits, rats, chickens, moles, chipmunks, frogs, snakes,
shrews, insects, pikas, birds and their eggs, gophers, voles, fish, and
hares. They kill as many of their prey as and when they can, then store
it in a side compartment of their dens. Because weasels have a high
metabolism rate and are skinny and long, they have to eat large amounts
of food, 40 percent or more of their weight, to keep them warm. Weasels�
weight, depending on the type, ranges from 2.1 to 14 ounces!
Weasels have glands that produce a strong smell and some people claim
that their musk is stronger than the skunk's.
Weasel Symbolism
The silent and graceful weasel imparts the ability go unseen and unheard
into places to be able to observe what is happening, then discern what�s
important. Native Americans believed their scouts had Weasel Medicine
and sought blessings from her when they went into battle.
Weasel symbolizes quick movement, justice achieved, retribution,
stealth, warrior energy, fierceness, curiosity, discernment, tenacity
and cunning. She helps people to gain deeper intuition and is a guide to
the Underworld. One of her lessons is that small size isn�t a barrier to
achievement. She gives people the ability to use one�s intuition to see
the intent behind words and acts and not to underestimate others.
Weasel Lore
�Medieval European: Weasel, by her odor, could kill the Basilisk, a
legendary animal with a rooster�s head and talons, snake�s body and a
lethal tail. Weasel squeaking near a house was a death omen. �Medieval
Christian: The animal was a symbol of Christ because she kills snakes,
symbolic of sin. The animal was a spiritual warrior, able to defeat
Satan by faith. St. Jordan of Battberg had a pet Weasel who represented
the attribute of vigilance and watchfulness. �Ancient Israelite: Weasel
was unclean. �Ancient Egyptian: The animal was sacred.
�Ancient Greek: Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, shapeshifted into
Weasel to pursue justice. �Carpathian: Thousands of Weasels would attack
to avenge the death of one of their kind. Chinese: Weasel was one of
five animals with the ability to hear all that was said.

And once again the bi polar bare ass displays its vast and detailed
knowledge of animal psychology.
I wonder how it thinks any animal predator learns how to kill without
practicing it as sport, as play, first?
Ever own a kitty lady?
Ever seen a bear cub "play" with a salmon?
