  • In Japanese Folklore, Kitsune are Foxes that possess Paranormal Abilities that increase as they get older and wiser. According to Folklore, the Kitsune-Foxes (or perhaps the "Fox Spirits") can bewitch people, just like the Tanuki[a].
  • They have the ability to shapeshift into human or other forms, and to trick or fool human beings. While some folktales speak of Kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as Foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as Faithful Guardians, Friends, and Lovers.
  • Foxes and humans lived close together in ancient Japan. This companionship gave rise to Legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto Kami or Spirit, and serve as its Messengers. This role has reinforced the Fox's supernatural significance. The more Tails a Kitsune has—they may have as many as Nine—the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make sacrifices to them as to a Deity.

  • Agate is a type of Chalcedony in the Quartz Family, which often occurs in nodular masses in volcanic lava rocks. They form in concentric layers and bands similar to tree trunks and may appear as eyes, scallops, or visually resemble landscapes. It is the Official Gemstone/ Mineral of several States within the USA. The Folklore of many Ancient Civilizations rumors that wearing Agate would Protect from Danger. It was often used on the breastplates of soldier's armor to give warriors strength and make them victorious in battle. Agate was thought of as the Stone of Strength in the Ancient Cultures. Roman farmers believed carrying or wearing a Moss Agate stone would serve to ensure good crops and to please the Gods that would bring an abundant harvest. In Ancient Asia, magicians believed that agates might be used to see the future, ward off evil, and to divert dangerous storms. Early Britons believed the stone might prevent skin disease. Agate Talismans were worn in the Middle East and believed to keep the blood healthy, and sucking on an Agate pebble was thought to relieve thirst. Another legend says that any person who looks upon an Agate can not remain secretive and is obligated to tell the truth. Agate is commonly found in Folklore to induce calming, aid in protection, and promoting a balanced body energy.
