Animal of the Day!
Seneca White Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)
Tumblr media
(Photo from ABC News)
Conservation Status- Least Concern
Habitat- Seneca County in New York
Size (Weight/Length)- 65 kg; 2 m
Diet- Leaves; Grasses; Fruits; Nuts; Lichens
Cool Facts- The Seneca white deer are almost identical to normal white-tailed deer except the majority of the population is leucistic. In 1941, the Seneca Army Depot was constructed to contain 43 square kilometers of fenced-in, New York wilderness. A small population of deer were isolated within the fencing, a few sporting white fur. As the deer bred throughout the decades, more and more became leucistic. While the army originally hunted the deer for food, it was banned in the 1950’s to shoot a white deer. Of the 700 deer contained in the area, over 300 of them are pure white. As the property was bought for farming and businesses, business owners worked to open the Deer Haven Park as a sanctuary for these very special animals.
Rating- 13/10 (One of the few cases of natural selective breeding.)

Gandy Creek and the Seneca Creek Backcountry together serve as the western gateways to the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area in the Monongahela National Forest. This incredibly beautiful and wild area boasts one of the premier trail systems in the Mid-Atlantic region, with some 60 miles of trails winding through twenty-thousand acres of wilderness-quality red spruce and northern hardwood forests. Gandy and Seneca Creeks are also two of the most highly regarded brook trout streams in the eastern US.  On Saturday, in a cool, clinging mist, I took a hike on one of the less traveled trails, the Leading Ridge Trail.  The pulsating intensity of the new spring greens made them seem to glow in the dripping moisture.
From top: golden alexanders (Zizia aurea), the flagship spring wildflower of the mountains with its massed, golden flowerheads; Robin’s plantain (Erigeron pulchellus), a daisy-like spring aster with wide, lavender ray petals; brook lettuce (Micranthes micranthidifolia), whose edible leaves were once gathered in the spring by mountain folk for salads; and white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda), also known as doll’s eyes, because its white fruit in the fall resembles the china eyes once used in dolls.

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: Any Closer to Home by Katie Daley
On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/any-closer-to-home-by-katie-daley/
Any Closer to Home is a song of bewilderment, a body searching Earth for the beat beneath the turmoil so it can dance nevertheless. There’s a jig for blistered fists, a naked waltz in a laundromat, and a blues lullaby for the end of the world. Migrants sweep the front stoop of Jupiter as mountainsides go up in flames. A donkey bellows, an apple falls, a bruise is swallowed. A long-distance driver pulls off the highway to kneel in a field of fireflies. She wants us to recognize the invitation. She wants us to consider the possibility that for all we know, she or any of us could be kneeling in the stars. #poetry #chapbook
Katie Daley is a recipient of three Individual Creativity Excellence Awards from the Ohio Arts Council and a fellowship at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Her work has been published in a variety of journals and anthologies, including The Keepthings, Exposition Review, Hippocampus Magazine, Art Crimes, Seneca Review, and After the Bell: Contemporary American Prose about School (University of Iowa Press). As a teaching artist, she does therapeutic writing outreach in drug rehabilitation programs, hospitals, schools and community centers throughout Northeast Ohio. Of all the occupations in the cosmos, she’s chosen to be a poet because it’s the one that makes her feel the most present and alive. It’s her hope that the poems she writes make that feeling as contagious as possible. www.katiedaley.com
PRAISE FOR Any Closer to Home by Katie Daley
Katie Daley has made a whole life cooking up poems composed as much by bodied breath as by pen and paper. “Any Closer to Home” is an unfolding feast of sound and vision, inviting us to partake in drinking “the constellations till we’re slaked,/ till there’s enough fire shaken from the cosmos / for it to fill its own cup and drink, too.”
–Philip Metres, author of Shrapnel Maps and recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship
For each wrecked deer & bloated possum
I lay my hand over my heart
then pass them up to heaven
where the summer puffs of white
are also rolling through this world
as the smoke of burnt fossils
shimmies out my tailpipe
Like a magician shaking bouquets from an empty sleeve, Katie Daley casts verbal wonders from her pen. She alchemizes today’s tired idiom of poetic plain-speak, returning the language to the darker roots of its inception, to the realm of marvel and metaphor and music. There’s not a poem in Any Closer to Home that does not dazzle you with the sheer, glorious richness of the word, the line, the image. And there’s a poem here about Tamir Rice that will bring you to your knees.
–George Bilgere
Katie Daley serenades, croons, and keens with a grief-cracked voice and tender lilt, making music with what’s at hand: moonstones and Milk Bones, broken mirrors, worn-out dress shoes, and “tea kettles that moan like trains.” She drinks deep from her life, transforming grief into gift, turning trouble into song. Between earthworms and stars, her expansive and generous poems will break your heart open to the world.
–David Hassler, co-editor of Dear Vaccine: Global Voices Speak to the Pandemic and director of the Wick Poetry Center

The white deer found at Seneca Army Depot are a natural variation of the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), which usually have brown coloring. The Seneca White Deer are leucistic, meaning they lack all pigmentation in the hair, but have the normal brown-colored eyes.

Colin Dann’s White Deer Park herd from The Animals of Farthing Wood are either Seneca White Deer or are based on them. The females of the herd are called “hinds” which is used only in reference to female Red Deer or these white deer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_white_deer which is an isolated White-Tailed Deer herd whose members carry a recessive gene for all white coats (not albinism but leucism). They live in Seneca County, New York, within an old army base which allowed them to have higher rates of survival than they normally would have in the wild with their brilliant white coats.

Animals
Hello again everybody!! I hope you well and still taking care of the pandemic, today we’re gonna talk about animals, first I tell you all about mines, my favorite animals. Anyway, we’ll start, you ready? Good.
These are some of the many animals that I like. Let’s go!!!
SNOW LEOPARD:
Tumblr media
The snow leopard has evolved to survive under the most extreme conditions on Earth. Its grayish-white fur with large black spots blends perfectly with the texture of the rugged, rocky mountains of Central Asia.
The snow leopard's powerful anatomy allows it to climb large, steep slopes with ease. Its hind legs give the snow leopard the ability to leap the equivalent of six times its body length. Its long tail provides balance and agility, and also allows the snow leopard to shelter from the cold when at rest.
For thousands of years, this magnificent feline was king of the mountains, where prey such as blue goats, argali, ibex, marmots, rock rabbits and hares abounded. The snow leopard is found in 12 countries, including China, Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia and Mongolia, but its population is declining.
SPANISH HORSE:
Tumblr media
The true origin of the Spanish Horse is not known for certain, however there is evidence that in pre-Roman times there were equestrian references in what is known today as Spain.
Roman authors such as Plutarch, Pliny the Elder and Seneca speak of the Hispanian horse as a beautiful, docile, arrogant and brave specimen, ideal for war and for the games that took place in the circuses of the time.
King Philip II ordered the horse herd of his kingdom and laid the definitive foundations for the Pura Raza Española to reach its apogee in the years to come. He achieved this through the creation of the Royal Stables of Cordoba, where he grouped together the best stallions and mares from the provinces bordering the Guadalquivir, which at that time were the most prolific in horse breeding.
Thus was born the Yeguada Real, which eventually became the Yeguada Nacional. A multitude of horses were then sent to the American continent, which had a decisive influence on their exploration, and these were the origin and basis of most of the breeds that were later bred in America.
BENGAL TIGER:
Tumblr media
Tigers are the largest members of the cat family and are famous for their power and strength. Bengal tigers, also called Indian tigers, live in India. They are the most numerous tiger species and account for about half of the wild tiger population.
For many centuries they have played an important role in Indian tradition and culture. Tigers live solitary lives and aggressively mark large territories with their scent to keep rivals away. They are powerful nocturnal hunters, capable of traveling many kilometers to find buffalo, deer, wild boar or other large mammals.
Tigers use their distinctive fur for camouflage (no two tigers have the same stripes). They stalk patiently and approach their victims with great stealth just long enough to attack them with a quick and lethal leap. A hungry tiger can eat up to 25 kilograms in one night, although they are usually not so voracious.
That’s all for today guys, I hope you liked it, thaniks, see you all soon everyone! Take care.

Hello. I would love a spirit guide reading. I’m a Scorpio.Thank you! ❤️🦂
Hello ♏ 🦂 ♏ 🦂 ♏ SCORPIO
You have many Spirit Guides and a lot of them are Angels but today I'm going to tell you about is an indigenous indigo child of light who comes ✨ to share a creation medicine teaching from her tribe ♥ ✨ 💛
💖 Your Spirit Guide is a Mohawk lady named Ehkadorah ✨ ♥ & She has two other sisters; EDEÀ and ÀKASHA (but you'll notice that her sisters are not as dark as her, that's because the European blood is in their heart due to the migration of this clan village)
&She wants to share this story with you here. About her people....
The Haudenosaunee people are a confederacy of six nations native to the Northeast in the US, as well as Ontario and Quebec in Canada. This confederacy consists of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora. Haudenosaunee means “people of the longhouse.”
Corn, beans, and squash are considered by the Haudenosaunee people to be special gifts from the daughter of Original Woman (Skywoman). As the story goes, when the daughter was dying in childbirth, she said that from her body would come the foods that would sustain the people. From her hands came the beans, from her breasts grew the corn, from her bellybutton grew the squash vines. From her legs grew the sunflowers, and from her head grew the sacred tobacco. From her heart sprouted the strawberry, and from her feet the original potato, known as a sunchoke. This is the cosmological story that comes to life every time Haudenosaunee people plant a Three Sisters Garden.
Tumblr media
We are told that our creation story never ended. The well-being of each crop is believed to be protected by that of the others, and their relationship reminds us of our cultural teaching of interdependence. This collective of original foods is called Tionhnhéhkwen, or our life’s sustainers. They nourish us, so we must remember to nourish them in turn as a reflection of our gratitude. The creation story that began so long ago continues to unfurl and come alive in every moment, as our life sustainers emerge from Mother Earth and remind us of our Original Instructions. Dancing in the direction that the sun goes, First Woman put into place the cycles of continuous creation, continuous birth. As human beings we have been given the Original Instructions to follow, which maintain the cycles of continuous creation, of this continuous birth put forth by Skywoman.
In English, this interplanting is often called “The Three Sisters,” which refers to how we understand these indigenous crops to be our living relatives, who we descended from in our cosmo-geneology. This indigenous planting system refers to the planting of corn, pole beans, and squash or pumpkins together in hills.
Tumblr media
Ehkadorah: All of the seeds shown here represent a small portion of my ancestral seed bundle. These seeds came to me at a time when I was seeking deeper connection to who I was as a young Mohawk woman. These seeds became my teachers and guides, helping me to rehydrate the ancestral memories that would encourage me to forge a more meaningful connection and relationship to the land and to my people. Through endless seasons and life cycles, they have persevered, passed down with the fragrance and memory of so many mothers’ prayers throughout the ages. Today they feed my children, along with the soil that feeds and nourishes so many here on our seed farm. May my breath, carrying seedsongs, be one of many prayers that reside at the very heart of these seeds, so that in generations to come they will protect and nourish those who courageously carry on the legacy of the ancestors.
What does your Spirit Guide look like?
Ehkadorah has medium brown hair and she has dark indigenous eyes; She wears a white deerskin dress with fringes, a buck hide belt, and a headband which is also a white deer skin garnet. She has a pair of bison hide moccasins which she wears to tribal and casual events.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are her two sisters, EDEA, AND AKASHA , they prefer to wear their warpaint and Hannah tattoo work to stay closer to their culture.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Whats the messages that my Spirit Guide has ?
Number 944 is a combination of the vibrations and attributes of number 9 and number 4, with number 4 appearing twice, magnifying its influences. Number 9 denotes endings and conclusions and relates to the Universal Spiritual Laws, a higher perspective and expansive viewpoint, strength of character, non-conformity, leadership and leading life as a positive example for others, altruism, humanitarianism and lightworking. Number 4 resonates with patience, practicality and application, hard work and responsibility, conscientiousness, progress, honesty and integrity, diligence and determination to achieve goals. Number 4 also relates to our passion and drive in life, and relates to the energies of the Archangels.
Angel Number 944 encourages you to re-organize your priorities and take responsibility for your own choices, actions, personal growth and all aspects of your life. Love and nurture yourself and others and focus upon your own goals, values and life path. Focus on being your highest and best self and speak and live your truths. Focus positively on your own energies and be your own powerful guide.
Angel Number 944 is a message that the angels and Archangels(and Spirit Guide) are supporting your life purpose and are encouraging you to look into spiritually-based work and/or career path or service-based project or venture. Your life purpose involves serving humanity using your lightworking abilities, so set your goals and pursue your aspirations with enthusiasm and passion and trust the workings of the Universe. You have all the skills and talents you need in order to fulfill your spiritual destiny.
Angel Number 944 may also suggest that it is time to let go of a situation that has now ran its course. As one door closes, another opens, and the angels are helping you to open those new doors of opportunity and help you heal from any pain, sorrow or feelings of loss that may accompany the transition that you are now undergoing. Use your creative mind to establish a plan of action, then move to the next level of your life.
Number 944 relates to number 8 (9+4+4=17, 1+7=8) and Angel Number 8.
Does any of these numbers relate to your life or have you noticed these in synchronicity on either the time on the clock or on the cost of your receipt?
January prediction from your Spirit Guide
Your dramatic expectations for a certain plan may clash with what is realistically possible this month, dear Scorpio. You may have wild ideas about what you can do - and you probably could if the circumstances were ideal - but someone else's plans or opinions may stand in your way. Although compromise is the last word you want to consider in this, it could actually be the best way for you to move forward. If you are open to making a few small changes in your plan, you can wind up getting almost all of what you want. You may discover in January that someone is trying to draw a wedge between you and someone else out of jealousy. But battling against the green-eyed monster takes strategy. First of all, you need to recognize that jealousy comes out of insecurity, so trying to merge one friend or associate with the one they are jealous of could actually result in a closer connection and more confidence if handled correctly. You don't want to lose either one of these individuals, so tread carefully. Your expectations for a joint effort might not parallel a partner's expectations. It is important to combine your goals until they are consistent and compatible before you begin. Make doing this a priority this month.
--Divinae

20, 27, 44 💜
20. Do they have any pets? If so, what are they? No, but she has a familiar! It’s a Seneca Deer (they're all white, and beautiful) named Winona ^.^ But if she had the option of pets, she’d have s o many snakes and lizards. Need more snamily for Fausty. 27. What makes a person beautiful to them? Compassion!! Especially towards animals in particular. Something about seeing someone be gentle with an animal sets her heart aflame. Ie. the scene with Muriel when they care for the animals u.u Or when Julian tends to Inanna’s wounds. swoon 44. Can they cook? What’s their favourite dish to make? Yup! She loves baking, and she l o v e s preparing spongy or cakey foods. So, her favorite, Strawberry Shortcake. But she also enjoys making soups! Or anything that has her in the kitchen for a long time, it’s her comfort space.

The Seneca White Deer Herd
“ The story of this herd began in 1941, when the now defunct Army Depot was constructed, and along with it a fence that ran its perimeter. Over five-hundred concrete “igloos” were erected as storehouses for munitions.  The development of this arms storage facility helped to ensure the supply of weapons for our troops during World War II.  It wasn’t until after the war had ended that, in 1949, the first white deer was observed on the base. At that time, Base Commander Colonel Frank Kemble Jr. issued an order that protected the white deer from harvest. As the population grew, and the acreage of the enclosure did not, it became necessary to hunt deer on the base to prevent their starvation – but protection for white deer remained. Over time, the proportion of white deer in the herd increased. “

The White Stag
In certain cultures around the world—European, Native American, and Asian—there have been stories and myths told about white deer. In European mythology magical animals are striking in appearance owing to their supernatural shape, color, speed, and power; a frequent attribute of those animals is an unnatural white color. In Celtic mythology the pursuit of supernatural animals is a common theme. The white stag or hart often appears in the forests around King Arthur’s court, sending the knights on adventures against gods and fairies. One fable relates how King Arthur arrived at Sir Pellinore’s well, a magical site, without his hunting party or his horse after pursuing a white deer. The white stag was also the heraldic symbol of England’s King Richard II.
In Hungarian mythology a white stag led the brothers Hunor and Magar to settle in Scythia and to establish the Hun and Magyar people.
In Native American mythology there is the Chickasaw legend, “Ghost of the White Deer.” There is also a Lenape legend about white deer that predicts that when a pair of all-white deer is seen together, it is a sign that the indigenous peoples of the Dawnland will all come together and lead the world with their wisdom.
Many tribes and indigenous peoples throughout the world have similar myths. The Seneca, Roanoke, Algonquin, Nanticoke, and Pocomoke tribes all relate sightings of the Great White Deer.
In Kamakura, Japan, the Engakuji Temple, which was founded in 1282, is the head of a branch school of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. There a herd of divine white deer are said to have emerged from a cave to listen to the sermon of the temple’s founder the day it opened.

Meet Meringue!!!
Hey everyone! I don’t always post anymore like I used to, so to make up for it I made a new oc!! I found out about this anime called eto rangers, and I love retro anime and I gave it shot!! It’s wonderful so far!! It’s on YouTube so if you wanna watch it look it up and turn on captions for subtitles, since there’s no official dub. I always love obscure things lol.
Anyway back to the oc part! This is meringue! She’s a Seneca white deer, and I’ll give more information later!! But here’s an idea
She serves as help to the team. How? Well she uses a magical sword given to her by the princess to help out from time to time when needed, but not all the time. She also wears a mask to keep her identity hidden at first. Now the outfit is her normal outfit, since she is a resident of mugen. She wears a different one when she makes needed appearances, like an alter ego kind of thing. So yeah that’s it for now!!
