A White Stag, A White Bison and A White Moose Are All Alive

and are currently being protected from hunters


“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.”

Stop off in Hays to see a White Buffalo, next to the Old Fort Hays museum on the bypass.

No mystical explanation of a white Moose?

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.

9. The myth of the White Moose.

As requested by Me. 😉

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. 😁

The White Moose will sound his bull-rut roar and a blue mist will fall over the nation heralding in the new and driving out the old. All who hear will either rejoice in the coming or weep for their loss.

You have a true talent in myth writing. It's always nice to have a secondary career you can fall back on in a pinch.

And then it means that Mr. B. is about to pull a rabbit out of his hat.
