Teaching, A Guide to the Sacred
Wolves have been long regarded by Native Americans as teachers
or pathfinders. Wolves are fiercely loyal to their mates, and
have a strong sense of family while maintaining individualism.
In the stars, Wolf is represented by the Dog, Sirius, thought
by many abroginal tribes to be the home of the "Ancients."
It seems to be through this connection that Wolf has come to be
associated with ancient teachings.
Wolves are probably the most misunderstood of the wild animals.
Tales of cold bloodedness abound, in spite of the their friendly,
social and intelligent traits. They are truly free spirits even
though their packs are highly organized. They seem to go out of
their way to avoid a fight. One is rarely necessary when a shift
in posture, a growl, or a glance gets the point across quite readily.
Traditionally, someone with Wolf Medicine has a strong sense of
self, and communicates well through subtle changes in voice inflection
and body movements.They often find new solutions to problems while
providing stability and support that one normally associates with
a family structure.
