    In Nature

    A deer's eyes are set almost directly on the sides of its skull, giving it nearly 310° of vision — it sees what is behind it without ever turning its head.

    The Medicine

    The deer's eyes are set so wide upon its head that it sees nearly all the way around itself — it grazes in softness because it already sees the wolf. Its gentleness is not naivety; it is an open heart carried by a panoramic mind. This is what Deer offers you: softness is only weakness when it is also unaware. Stay tender. Stay undefended. Keep your vision wide, so that your gentleness is a choice made in full sight of the world — the most sophisticated strength there is.

    The Number

    As card 15, the pair, the Deer carries gentleness that misses nothing.

    Shadow

    Freeze response mistaken for grace, seeing every threat and moving toward none.
