#&*;«-¨¨¨¨ in the north, the deer is often used as ¨¨¨¨-«;*
@#&*;«-¨¨¨ a symbol for the forest's agency, or ¨¨¨-«;*@
#@#&*;«-¨¨ its self-knowledge. watching eyes. ¨¨-«;*@#
##@#&*;«-¨ ¨-«;*@##
#@#&*;«-¨¨ warmer regions instead ascribe it the ¨¨-«;*@#
@#&*;«-¨¨¨ knife (teeth, rumors of violence), or ¨¨¨-«;*@
#&*;«-¨¨¨¨ obsession (unblinking eyes, always ¨¨¨¨-«;*
&*;«-¨¨¨¨¨ awake, scrapie-like behavior). ¨¨¨¨¨-«;*&

##@#&*;«-¨ the deer is a cross between a horse and ¨-«;*@##
#@#&*;«-¨¨ a dog. it bears a resemblance to a ¨¨-«;*@#

*;«-¨¨¨¨¨¨ the horns of a deer is called antlers. ¨¨¨¨¨¨-«;*
&*;«-¨¨¨¨¨ they have a complex fractal shape, and ¨¨¨¨¨-«;*&
#&*;«-¨¨¨¨ are believed to enable the deer to ¨¨¨¨-«;*
@#&*;«-¨¨¨ "fold" through passages which should be ¨¨¨-«;*@
#@#&*;«-¨¨ too narrow for them. antlers from dead ¨¨-«;*@#
##@#&*;«-¨ deer seem to lose this power. ¨-«;*@##

&*;«-¨¨¨¨¨ during the course of it's life. with ¨¨¨¨¨-«;*&
*;«-¨¨¨¨¨¨ age the secrets will harden into a ¨¨¨¨¨¨-«;*
&*;«-¨¨¨¨¨ caramellized structure, which will ¨¨¨¨¨-«;*&
#&*;«-¨¨¨¨ eventually block the flow of blood, and ¨¨¨¨-«;*
@#&*;«-¨¨¨ kill the deer. ¨¨¨-«;*@
