It was the Wolf who taught us to form community upon this Earth, for Wolves have an intuituve knowledge of order...
...and they posses the ability to survive change intact. Wolf medicine is very ancient and born of living experience.
Wolfs will look deep into your heart and share the greatest of knowledge, but will demand full participation and absolute sincerity. Wolf will rekindle old memories within your soul...
...Wolf medicine can make you whole.
Wolf I am, Everything in darkness will be good in light because Maheo. Wherever I search protect us. Wherever I run.... --Native American Warrior Song--
The Spirit of the Wolf resides in my heart. Mostly peacefull, yet ever wild. Running in time to the blowing wind. Dancing in the clouds that drift in the Heavens... ...The Spirit of the Wolf resides in my soul. Longing to hear the song of the Great One. Striving to be that which I am in my natural state. Succeeding only because of the Love that the Universe grants me.
Native peoples called the Wolf "brother" and "sister"... Great warriors, medicine men and chiefs took thier name and Wolf-tales were recounted around the fires untill the ashes grew cold... ...So powerfull the medicines of the Wolf, elite warrior societies believed that by donning the pelts of the Wolf and make themselves to resemble wolves before entering into the camp of an enemy they would be unseen and be invincible.
The Native Americans call animals the children of the Earth. The Wolf they call Big Mouth, Legend says the Wolf sent spirit messages to the world beyond.
Wolves play an important part in our lives, weather we know it or not. How many times have you said, "who's afraid of the big bad Wolf" or read The Three Little Pigs? Wolves have been stamped with a bad name over the years, a reputation that they do not deserve. Humans should watch and learn from them. A Wolf will not kill unless hungry or is they feel threatened. To kill for fun is a trait that only humans beings carry with them. What makes us feel threatened by Wolves, is it the fact that they are free? Or because they are different. Wolves are very protective of thier cubs, an entire pack will protect a young one. Wolves are very socail creatures, and very good parents. A Wolf may at times look like it is alone, but where there is one, you are sure to find more. A Wolf is connected to it's pack, a Wolf howls in order to let the rest of the pack know where it is and what is going on. They are connected in ways that humans can only dream of.
Let us listen to the magic of the Wolf...To the Native Americans, and to many other cultures, Wolves played a signifigant role. Wolves even played a role in the Bible, with St. Francis of Assisi, the patrion saint of animals... Perhaps the most famous story of St. Francis is when he tamed the wolf that was terrorizing the people of Gubbio. While Francis was staying in that town he learned of a wolf so ravenous that it was not only killing and eating animals, but people, too. The people took up arms and went after it, but those who encountered the wolf perished at its sharp teeth. Villagers became afraid to leave the city walls.
Francis had pity on the people and decided to go out and meet the wolf. He was desperately warned by the people, but he insisted that God would take care of him. A brave friar and several peasants accompanied Francis outside the city gate. But soon the peasants lost heart and said they would go no farther.
Francis and his companion began to walk on. Suddenly the wolf, jaws agape, charged out of the woods at the couple. Francis made the Sign of the Cross toward it. The power of God caused the wolf to slow down and to close its mouth.
Then Francis called out to the creature: "Come to me, Brother Wolf. In the name of Christ, I order you not to hurt anyone." At that moment the wolf lowered its head and lay down at St. Francis' feet, meek as a lamb.
St. Francis explained to the wolf that he had been terrorizing the people, killing not only irrational creatures, but humans who are made in the image of God. "Brother Wolf," said Francis, "I want to make peace between you and the people of Gubbio. They will harm you no more and you must no longer harm them. All past crimes are to be forgiven."
The wolf showed its assent by moving its body and nodding its head. Then to the absolute surprise of the gathering crowd, Francis asked the wolf to make a pledge. As St. Francis extended his hand to receive the pledge, so the wolf extended its front paw and placed it into the saint's hand. Then Francis commanded the wolf to follow him into town to make a peace pact with the townspeople. The wolf meekly followed St. Francis.
By the time they got to the town square, everyone was there to witness the miracle. With the wolf at his side, Francis gave the town a sermon on the wondrous and fearful love of God, calling them to repent from all their sins. Then he offered the townspeople peace, on behalf of the wolf. The townspeople promised in a loud voice to feed the wolf. Then Francis asked the wolf if he would live in peace under those terms. He bowed his head and twisted his body in a way that convinced everyone he accepted the pact. Then once again the wolf placed its paw in Francis' hand as a sign of the pact.
From that day on the people kept the pact they had made. The wolf lived for two years among the townspeople, going from door to door for food. It hurt no one and no one hurt it. Even the dogs did not bark at it. When the wolf finally died of old age, the people of Gubbio were sad. The wolf's peaceful ways had been a living reminder to them of the wonders, patience, virtues and holiness of St. Francis. It had been a living symbol of the power and providence of the living God.
