Har lest fram og tilbake og vært innom mange linker, men finner ikke noe om måren.  Har ikke sett den i naturen, ikke som jeg vet, men fikk besøk i en drøm, visste bare at det var en mår, og slo opp i en bok og fannt bilde.  Stemmer på en prikk.  Ser at den har ett våkent og nysjerrig blikk, sikkert kjemperask i bevegelsene, og kanskje litt hissig?  Den hadde en viktig beskjed til meg, men vanskelig.  Kan noen fortelle meg noe mer om dens egenskaper som kraftdyr?  Edda

Jeg vet ikke noe om måren som kraftdyr, men jeg ville bare si at det var snakk om måren på frokost-tv på NRK i morrest. Den er det eneste dyret som fanger ugleunger! Ugla har reir i ekornhuler i trær, og når ugleungene merker fare,så sparker de alt de kan oppover med de skarpe klørne sine. Og enda klarer måren å fange dem!

Mvh Stridshjelp

Det finnes fler oversettelser av mår, så
ta disse egenskaper med ei klype salt,
men hvertfall ligger dette til mårfamilien:

Weasel's Wisdom Includes:

Stealth

Cunning

Ingenuity

Revenge

Keen observation

Ability to see hidden reasons behind things

Power of observation

takk for tips, nå lurer jeg bare på hvordan jeg kan bruke dette, herre gud den høres farlig ut! 

Mår  / Martes Martes (latin) / Martens (engelsk)

Mange steder er mår blitt en truet dyreart. Et medlem i det som på engelsk blir ”weasel”-familien. Mår har en del særegenskaper siden den er rå til å klatre og jakte i trær. I det lille jeg fant om mår som kraftdyr, blir den knyttet også til øvre verden. 

Mår er et av totemdyrene for disse indianergrupper: Menomonis og Ojibways

Martens
by Richard L. Dieterle

Martens are an arboreal animals that chiefly prey upon squirrels. They are valued chiefly for their fur, as we see in the courtship costumes of the Mulberry Picker [1] and of Trickster [2], both of whom sport a white marten skin quiver. When Sun came to earth as Grandfather, the sixth son of his first family specialized in hunting nothing but martens.

Because of their arboreal nature, martens are considered creatures of the upper world as much as they are of the earth. In the story of the Dipper, the Grandfather, who also plays the role of the sun, has bad dreams that tell him that he must have the meat of a white marten with its hair singed off, or he will sicken and die. His grandson, Black Hawk Looking at Us as He Stands, agrees to go in search of the white marten of his dreams. The grandson finds him among a host of martens, but these agree not to give the alarm in exchange for that special plant over which humans alone have control, tobacco. He kills the white marten with two arrow shots and escapes with his body. When the meat is prepared, the spirits come to the feast.

Black Hawk Looking at Us as He Stands went courting women with the Thunderbirds, who always marry Nightspirits. He was searching for two women that Grandfather had told him about. He eventually came back with them. One of them was a marten in reality, although she had a human form. It was she whom he married. For a time they lived as hummingbirds. When their adventures on earth were over, the marten woman became the Little Dipper and her husband, the grandson, became Polaris. [3]

Once Great Walker was blessed by a white Marten Spirit. This marten was the attendant of a great white Waterspirit who lived in the Spiritland of Wa'ûni. The martin had the power to lay upon the surface of the water, and gave Great Walker a plant that grew from his body. This plant had the virtue of being a purgative that could save someone who had been the victim of poisoning. [4]
