Peaceful White Deer

In memory of those lost.

In Celtic mythology, the deer is a magical creature, able to move between the worlds. As in Eire many tales have humans transformed into deer. For example, St. Patrick was said to have transformed himself and his companions into deer in order to escape a trap laid by a pagan king. In the Welsh tale of Culhwch and Olwen, the stag is one of the oldest animals in the world, along with the blackbird, the owl, the eagle and the salmon.

White deer are very rare. less than 1/4 ever survive to adulthood, being easy targets for preditors and trophy hunters, not to mention the fish and wildlife comittee in certain places.
