15 WOLF -- Teacher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wolf...
|
||
|
|
Teacher,
|
||
|
|
Pathfinder,
|
||
|
|
Moon-dog of my soul.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Howling,
|
||
|
|
Singing,
|
||
|
|
Teaching how to know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to
|
||
|
|
teach and share medicine. Wolf takes one mate for life and is loyal like Dog
|
||
|
|
In the Great Star Nation, Wolf is represented by the Dog Star,
|
||
|
|
Sirius, which legend tells us was the original home of our teachers
|
||
|
|
in ancient times. Sirius was thought to be the home of the gods by
|
||
|
|
the ancient Egyptians, and is still considered so by the Dogon tribe
|
||
|
|
in Africa. It stands to reason that Native American peoples would
|
||
|
|
formulate this same connection and adopt Wolf people as the clan of
|
||
|
|
teachers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The senses of Wolf are very keen, and the moon is its power ally. The
|
||
|
|
moon is the symbol for psychic energy, or the unconscious that holds
|
||
|
|
the secrets of knowledge and wisdom. Baying at the moon may be an
|
||
|
|
indication of Wolf's desire to connect with new ideas which are just
|
||
|
|
below the surface of consciousness. Wolf medicine empowers the teacher
|
||
|
|
within us all to come forth and aid the children of Earth in understanding
|
||
|
|
the Great Mystery and life.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have drawn Wolf's card, you may be able to share your personal
|
||
|
|
medicine with others. Your intuitive side may also have an answer or
|
||
|
|
teaching for your personal use at this time. As you feel Wolf coming alive
|
||
|
|
within you, you may wish to share your knowledge by writing or lecturing
|
||
|
|
on information that will help others better understand their uniqueness
|
||
|
|
or path in life. It is in the sharing of great truths that the consciousness
|
||
|
|
of humanity will attain new heights. Wolf could also be telling you to seek
|
||
|
|
out lonely places that will allow you to see your teacher within. In the
|
||
|
|
aloneness of a power place, devoid of other humans, you may find the
|
||
|
|
true you. Look for teachings no matter where you are. Wolf would not
|
||
|
|
come to you unless you requested the appearance of the tribe's greatest
|
||
|
|
teacher.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Contrary:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If Wolf is reversed, you are being asked to expand your limited view of
|
||
|
|
the present situation. Doing this may entail a great deal of courage
|
||
|
|
and a willingness to look at new ideas. It could also require that
|
||
|
|
you delete some old ideas to make room for the expansiveness that
|
||
|
|
always comes when you are willing to learn. The gift of wisdom comes
|
||
|
|
to you when you have walked enough pathways and found enough dead ends
|
||
|
|
to truly know the forest. In the discovery and rediscovery of every
|
||
|
|
inch of ground comes the knowledge that nothing ever remains the same.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Contrary Wolf may also be telling you that stagnation or fear of
|
||
|
|
asserting your viewpoint has bogged down the flow of change in your
|
||
|
|
life. Wolf reversed is [always] urging you to seek the teachers or
|
||
|
|
pathfinders that will show you the way to new life experiences.
|
||
|
|
Remember, the teacher or pathfinder may be the small still voice
|
||
|
|
within, as well as a person, a leaf, a cloud, a stone, a tree, a book,
|
||
|
|
or the Great Spirit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To live is to grow, and growing comes through accepting all life forms
|
||
|
|
as your teachers. Become Wolf, and take up the sense of adventure. You
|
||
|
|
may just stop howling and learn to [become] the moon.
