The white stag in Celtic myth is an indicator that the Otherworld is near. It appears when one is transgressing or breaking a taboo. It also appears as an impetus to quest--the white stag or hart often appears in the forests around King Arthur's court, sending the knights off on to adventure against gods and fairies.

When a white buffalo calf is born, it is a sign that their prayers are being heard and that the promises of the prophecy are being fulfilled. To American Indians, a White Buffalo Calf is the most sacred living thing on earth. The calf is a sign to begin life's sacred loop.

I was getting into the stories about the significance of those other white animals and then POOF.......not a word about the Moose!
If there isn't a white Moose myth, at least have the courtesy of fabricating one. 😉
Thanks for the post. Very interesting.
so after looking and finding nothing satidfactory, I think YOU should come up with a bit of mysticism...

The White Moose myth remains unsubstantiated and unattributed.
As the myth goes, when a White Moose is seen in the wild it's considered an omen that another animal - the orange crested beached whale (usually seen in Florida) - will soon be incarcerated and humiliated beyond its limits to comprehend.
It's rumored that an orange crested beached whale has recently been spotted in New Jersey, it's summer feeding grounds, but is headed south toward it's ancestral winter waters around Florida.
Updates as soon as the orange crested beached whale is spotted once more. Stay tuned. 😁
