saw a fox running through a field...closed my eyes to sleep and saw families of vixens lying with their young, hunting their prey, and spying on me...
of course, i googled...
Foxes are seen as power animals / totems throughout the world. The Chinese  believed foxes could take human form. In Egypt the fox brought favour from  the gods. There was a fox god in Peru. Foxes aid the dead get to the next  life in Persia. The Cherokees, Hopi and various other Native American Indian  tribes believed in its healing power, the Apache credited the fox with  giving man fire. 
 
 Fox is amongst the most uniquely skilled and ingenious animals of nature.  Being a night creature, fox is often imbued with supernatural powers. Foxes  are usually seen at dawn and dusk. Dusk starts off their day, and the dawn  is its ending. This is the time, when the world of magic and our every day  realities cross paths. Foxes live on the edges of forests and open lands,  the border areas. As fox is an animal of the between times and places, it  can be a guide into the faerie realm. Fox has a long past of magic and  cunning associated with it. It can move in and out of circumstance restoring  order or causing confusion, depending on the occasion. 
Fox's power lies in not being able to outrun the hounds, but to know in  advance when they will be out hunting. They then use their ability to  camouflage. When we learn to detach from our surroundings and to use all our  senses to be observant, we will also be able to anticipate and create the  future. A fox being followed by hounds will run across the tops of walls,  cross streams diagonally, double back on its trail, run in circles - in  short, do anything to break the trail of its scent. Fox has the amazing  ability to outwit both predators and prey. Fox shows us how to slip out of  unpleasant situations quietly and unnoticed. Those with fox as a spirit  guide are frequently smart and witty but must remember to keep their crafty  and clever demeanour balanced or it could backfire. Fox can also show you  that your actions may be too obvious and the need to learn to be more  discreet. Fox is a wise, potent, teacher for those who choose to live  conscious and deliberate lives.
