Elk and Deer in mythology:
Elk is a traditional and main participant in astral myths, and, typologically, the earliest. The study of such myths helps to determine, first of all, the cosmological role of the moose. The moose's connection with the sun (moose horns – rays of the sun) is confirmed by the mythological image of the cosmic moose, identified with the constellation of the Great bear (in Russian folk tradition, this constellation is called " Moose»). In ancient Russian astronomical folklore, the image of the Big dipper as a chariot or cart is extremely widespread (Rus. the name of the constellation " who " - URSA Major). Moose also acts as a character in a demythologized animal fairy tale, often as an image of the Universe and a wizard's assistant spirit, his mount. At the same time, the image of the elk in fairy-tale and mythological representations and in ritual is often duplicated by the image of the deer – in those territories where the deer is more important as a commercial and partially domesticated animal than the elk. For example, Santa Claus rides around on a reindeer sled with gifts.
