Of all the animal spirits, the wolf is probably the most misunderstood,
feared and hated. Tales of evil and terror regarding them have been around
for centuries, and yet there has never been any documented or confirmed attacks
or killings of a human by a healthy wolf. They have been hunted, trapped and
brutally killed to the point of extinction for many breeds and others are
highly endangered at this point in time.
Many say the howl of the wolf is eerie, lonely, terrifying, etc. I find the
howl a beautiful song of joy and communication between these animals.
Each howl contains a message -- to a mate or the pack. Sometimes it is,
simply, a song of joy and celebration of spirit.
Contrary to many beliefs, the wolf is a friendly, social, loyal and
highly intelligent animal. They are very "family oriented" and live
within certain rules and rituals.
If you relate strongly to the "Spirit of the Wolf" you are very loyal --
to family, friends, principles and ideals. You will protect your loved ones,
especially your children, with strength and conviction.
Like the wolf itself, you do not like to fight unnecessarily -- you will, in fact,
go out of your way to avoid that type of situation.
Wolves use body language in communication and many people in tune with
this spirit have expressive eyes, hands and posture and use them when
communicating with others.
You believe in a strong family structure and realize that your elders and
your children all have something to teach you, to share with you. You take
the responsibility of teaching your children to respect the rights of others
very seriously. You want them to be loving and kind, but strong in life.
You seek knowledge, new ideas and new adventures in your life. You like
sharing what you learn and teaching others.
As with the wolf, you have a keener sense of smell and hearing than
the average person. Strong, unpleasant odors can actually make you
sick to your stomach and loud or piercing noise is distracting and can
"put you on edge". You love the smell of flowers, rain, etc. and the
soft voices of nature -- the sound of a creek running, birds singing.
