If ever there was a complex animal spirit guide, Wolf is it. Their lore and legends are filled with tales of terror. Elusive, almost ghostly, predators that hunt in bloodthirsty packs – this is the savage population of Wolves. But Wolves are the consummate comics of the wilderness. Their commitment to and love of family is humbling, their communications skills elegant and their extreme intelligence is awe inspiring.
When Wolf appears in your life it may be time to take a close look at a person or situation who may be a “Wolf in sheep's clothing” if you will. My belief is trust must be earned, do not give it freely. Pay very close attention to what your instincts tell you!
Wolves have been observed to have a highly developed “third eye” or “sixth sense”. Do you follow your instincts, or do you just follow along even if things might feel “off”? Wolf sometimes appears when we face challenges for which we feel less than prepared. Wolf reminds you that you have all the tools in your own spiritual treasure chest to handle this effectively! Do you need to take a
“step back” and see the situation with “fresh eyes”?
As Spirit Animal, Wolf comes to support and teach us about matters of personal power, balance, self-control and our animal instincts. Wolves are misunderstood by many to be aggressive, vicious animals who attack with no provocation, this is not so. Wolves will go out of their way to avoid fights. However, when they want to be heard, or when they want to stave off or deter an attack, they will always stand their ground.
Wolves are wonderful examples of standing in the seat of your own power. They let it be known they can fight to the death and are very well prepared to do so, but they rarely initiate combat.
Wolf is a powerful totem when you are feeling lost and don't know where to go.... Wolf will guide you, he will be your protector as you make your journey on a new unexplored path, as you gain inner sight and wisdom, experience and confidence you will bond with Wolf.
In facing life venturing into the forest, means you must be willing to face your own deepest fears. Wolf must venture deep into the forest to find what he requires for sustenance and growth, long ago he cast away his fear of the unknown, he faces it all the time now.
Wolf has faced and conquered his deepest fears, and now he walks the forest at night with total confidence, this trait carries powerful symbolic meaning if you choose to call upon the Wolf totem.
Wolf brings us the spirit animal gifts of self-reliance, endurance, and keen intelligence. Wolf brings the totem energies of freedom and companionship. Wolf brings the magic of extraordinary intuition and telepathy.
As the supreme hunter of the forest, Wolf power animal teaches us how to find the resources we need, to be resourceful and to use the resources wisely, to keep moving forward, to keep evolving. Wolf spirit animal totem teaches us to assess each situation and adapt as needed, always ready.... always prepared.
Wolf spirit animal is so very intuitive that he can sense your movements – anticipating your every move, he reads your mind as he is telepathic, you can learn this by bonding with his energy. Wolf symbolizes the supreme essence of freedom, he is free to roam the vast valleys, mountains of the forest, wherever he desires even in the Spirit realm.
When Wolf Spirit Animal appears for you.... Wolf is asking for introspection, to face your deepest fears.... the fears that are holding you back from taking the journey that will lead you to your greatest destiny – Freedom!
Dream symbolism of Wolf may represent that you are being called to study the art of Shamanism. Many Shamans wear headdresses of Wolf spirit animals as well as Bear, they did this to call upon the aid and assistance of the great spirit of the animal to help them manifest a particular desire.
In your dreams a Shaman may be coming to you in the form of a Wolf to help you with healing. If you dream of a pack of Wolves, you might need to pay attention to being surrounded by those that may not wish you the best of intentions.
I have become much more confident in myself and my decisions having Wolf in my life. I have other spirit animals/totems as well, but they seem to come and go as I need to learn specific things from them. If you haven't done so, take time to meditate and ask Spirit to show you what or which animals might be able to help guide you in your life, or a particular situation. I have had many readings over the years and nearly always my Wolf is right in there with me.
Above all, I suggest to really work on your intuition! Know the feelings you have and when to trust and when not to.... Animals can bring such love, intention and spirit into our lives whether they be animal spirits/totems or our own beautiful animals that we care for.
See what animal might have your best future in mind....
