Don't know about wolves, but in the <smashan> (burning grounds,

crematoriums) where Shiva dances with Kali, there are plenty of jackals

gnawing on corpses. Sometimes Kali Herself assumes the form of a jackal

bitch.

 

If I recall, the Rig Veda mentions wolves in relation to Ratri, the

goddess of Night, whose black robes are spangled with stars...

Wolf is magick. Consider going to the pix section and look

up "Elemental Ganesh". Look at them wolves buddying around with

Wotan...them's magick wolves...are there wolves in the Himalayas? I

never heard of any. If so, I'm sure they'd be around Shiva.

 

Do people outside of the USA know much about coyote? I think of

coyotes as tantric wolves...

 

They're very clever and not supposed to live far outside of the

American southwest (cowboy country). HOWEVER, a dead female was

found along one of our highways here (20 miles north of NYC, a

continent away). As coyotes are NOT solitaries it was assumed that

she had family...anyway, one calls upon coyote energy only if

willing to gamble - you never know what they'll get into...

 

I love bear. And eagle. Especially eagle. Don't tell no one (said

he, blatting to the whole of cyber space) but I have an especially

magick eagle fetish dating back probably to the 1930's...it's and

eagle's head and spine and wing bones covered by the most beautiful

Hopi or Apache beadword, pale blue and white. Why keep it a

secret? The eagle is as sacred in this country as the cow in India,

perhaps more so. Only Amerinds are permitted to keep eagle relics

around. I'm a white man. It's illegal for me to own even an eagle

feather. They are NEVER offered for sale. Only the Amerinds are

permitted to have them.

 

I once met a very interesting Amerind stock broker in a fancy NYC

shop. He was "on leave" from his reservation out west - made a

small fortune in the market every day, which he used to support his

reservation, and lived as "natively" as possible by night. I had

just blown a small fortune on a bear fetish necklace he made using

bear claws and trade beads going back to the 17th Century (old beads

are still kept on the reservations, beads traded for centuries ago)

and he "happened" into the store as I was paying for it - one of

those "aha" moments...

 

As we chatted and he told me of his life, he told me how good it

felt to go home at night and meditate with an eagle feather. Then

he blushed, embarassed. One New Yorker had been rude to another (we

may be bitches to tourists but among one another we are VERY

polite). You see, I am a white man. I can not own an eagle

feather. It is illegal even for me to attempt to attain one.

 

Strictly speaking, were I out on the praries somewhere and found

one, I would have to leave it there.

 

I wonder how many people outside the USA realize that we do have a

tribal magick side...particularly with eagle...

 

Has any other country so elevated its spirit-animal, I wonder?
