![]() The hind is the female red deer, the male being the stag or hart. Early examples of this sign relate to St Giles, who is said to have withdrawn into a remote forest where a hind lived with him and supplied him with milk. When the king's huntsmen pursued the hind St Giles caused thick bushes to spring up to protect it. | |||
