The Majestic Wolf

He stands alone always watchful, 
ever vigilant 
His stature brings us courage and pride 
He guards that which is most 
precious to us 
The pathway to our souls 

We watch his beauty in awe 
His presence lends flight to our 
dreams and fears 
When we look into our secret wishes 
He is what we long to see 




He brings comfort and unease 
We trust in his strength and light 
Yet we fear, for he knows that which 
is in our hearts 
We yearn to be near that which is 
wild and free 

He is the guardian of the wood, 
master of all who bide within 
He will welcome you to his domain, 
provided you pay his price 
The task is always hard, but never cruel 
Tis' but a small price to pay for 
the reward you will reap 

Most would do anything for the 
love of a Wolf.

Silent Passage...
On it's journey to extinction 
a wolf pauses and looks back on those 
that are helping with  
that journey. There is no malice 
in the wolf's eyes,
rather there is a hint of tragic 
understanding, 
an instinctive intelligence that 
knows that all species including 
mankind will disappear 
from its environment when 
that environment is altered by a 
stronger force. The world will be a 
poorer place if the wolf passes in history. 



THE WOLF 
Feared and hated by men the world over, 
the mighty wolf has been plagued by all 
forms of evil stories, myths and legends. 
Hunted, trapped and killed to the point of 
extinction, many of these majestic animals 
are gone forever -- their breeds and blood lines 
never to be seen again.  

In spite of the many horror stories of wolves hunting, 
tracking and killing humans, no such event has ever 
been confirmed. Their eerie and lonely howl, 
which can make the blood run cold, 
is merely their form of communication. 
Each howl, with its tone, depth, length and 
frequency carries a different message to the pack, 
or to the partner who is out of sight. 
They're merely "talking".  




If you carry wolf medicine, here are some 
characteristics that sound familiar to you:  

You are fiercely loyal -- to friends, family, 
ideals and principles. There is no compromise for you.  

You are very territorial. You protect all that 
is yours and your family's at any expense. 
You are fearless in your protection, 
but not reckless. You plan your strategy carefully, 
and wait for the opportune moment for most powerful effect.  

You have a strong family structure. There is no 
doubt who the elders, patriarchs and parents are, 
or about their roles in the family structure. 
Disobedience, selfishness and unruly behavior 
is not tolerated as there are strong boundaries 
for the young. They are taught well and carefully 
so that they may assume leadership roles in their 
own family structures.  

You have a powerful sense of adventure. 
You love to explore new things, to stretch out 
for new horizons. You have a thirst for knowledge 
and for learning new things. You are eager to share 
these things, which makes you a natural teacher. 
Your adventures may take you away from home and family, 
but it is important that you have this base of security 
to return to.  




You have an unrelenting need to be alone. 
You are so busy being the protector, the provider, 
the teacher, and the trailblazer, that it's very easy 
for you to become exhausted and burned out. 
In order to re-charge your spirit, 
and keep your balance, it is critical that you have 
time to be alone with your thoughts and your 
own sense of self. This is one side of your nature 
that must not be overlooked. Even if you lock 
yourself in the bathroom for 15 minutes a day, 
the time alone must be honored if you are to have 
value to those you care for.  

Wolf is power. 
Wolf is honor. 
Wolf is integrity. 
Brother Wolf; 
Sister Wolf -- I honor you
