So once again the Wolf steps in to the 7th card Spot, asking us why we keep missing the lessons we walk through. Why is it we torture our very Souls… because reliving hardship, trauma, the stumbles we have had, none can be erased so we must learn from the past in order to move forward to allow good things, positive things to happen. As humans we need to release the angers, frustrations, expectations we place on others, and learn from them not repeat them. That is why we are here experiencing life to learn and grow.
If we stop to think about it all, we must realize and deal with the past, not put it away neatly in the proverbial closet to deal with later. Why not? Well first off we push it so towards the back of the shelf it grows, making it harder to deal with later. So pull the Band-Aid off so that the healing can begin. Why not today? Why wait? Face the lesson so you can use the things you learn from it in the future.
Wolf teaches us that although it is often difficult to see the value of things that cause us pain, regret and anger… it is in those very things that we learn from in order to make better choices in the future. Those bumps in the road make us stronger for getting through them all, but there is a limit to how long we allow ourselves to carry it all forward as it hinders our growth. So today let it all go and be in the moment of saying goodbye to all those things that have held us back! Be free of it so you can create new things, more positive things for yourself!
Wolf reminds us to sense what is important in our life circle and allow that to shore us up against negativity and the thoughtlessness of others. Be caring and nurturing with your energy and life source today… as it is an important key to how we need to walk and be.
Wolf reminds us that it is far to easy to shelter ourselves or do what I call self isolation, but sometimes by doing so we miss out on some amazing things and people. So enrich your souls today and expand your reach by including some of what life is offering us all outside of our circle.
Wolf has been a spiritual and totem animal in the religions of many cultures. Wolves represent the symbol of freedom and individuality, yet also remind us we have a responsibility to the pack. Some religious beliefs attribute the creation of the earth in part to the Wolf. It was believed that the power of a Wolf would could help with the success of a hunt, bring a chief’s dead son to life or alleviate the pain of childbirth. The People and the wolf are part of each other.
Wolf and its medicine live harmoniously with us…they will hunt together, live together and their spirits are one. Wolf represents courage, strength, loyalty, wisdom and teacher of balance. Some of the stories that have been passed down often tell of the first ancestors being transformed from wolves into Human.
Whatever they represent to each of us may be different, but the one thing I hold as truth is they are our teachers, our sisters and brothers… not something that should be controlled or hunted. They only take what is needed, they stay away from humans unless provoked…and we have taken all that is theirs when they and many like them have openly shared with us all. It is time for us all to raise our voice in protection of this magnificent animal and others like it…
Wolf is a very organized creature. It understands there is need for order and balance for harmony to occur with our Sacred Hoops. Wolf is regarded as one of the most powerful spirit guides of all for it represents teacher and lessons to be learned and shared with self. It speaks to us to seek counsel from people that you respect. To take a moment to step back and look for the true meaning from the issue you face. By doing so, you will be able to walk clearly ahead and do what needs to be done with the knowledge you can see it all clearly.
Although many think the sight of a Lone Wolf means freedom it actually does not. It instead represents that it is a time to look deep in oneself and find the balance that is needed in your own life that is lacking. For the wolf is meant to be in packs, in a community, in a family, with its mate. The times you see wolves on their own or isolated is do to unbalance that needs to reground and once again be in the circle of the Sacred Hoop.
The Wolf cry reminds us to stand our ground, remember we all need boundaries. It is about communication, answering the call and listening to the response. The Wolf an assist us to open and listen to the sound of others in order to understand better the situation. It is about having the strength of the pack, and your closest friends with you when you need them without questions.
Wolf is strongly connected to lunar cycles, so learn to move with that cycle and honor it in order to be at your best. They teach us to weed out what is the weakest and no longer serves us, so that new and better things will come our way.

It is not enough merely to learn the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth.
