Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi Everyone, I just got back from an incredible bike ride outside of Aspen, CO. On my way back to town a wolf ran out infront of my bike, crossed the road and ran up the embankment. It stopped about 20 feet from me and turned around to look at me. We locked eyes for a long time ( with my jaw touching the ground!) I don't think it had any interest to leave, but a couple cars passed and it gradually went deeper into the woods, looking back at me several times. It was one of the most profound, beutiful creatures I've ever seen in my life. I've seen wolves in captivity before (a friend raises them to introduce them into the wild), but I've never seen one in the wild, let alone so close to home! I also saw a snake in the same area, crossing the road inches from my bike, and the most enormous doe I've ever seen, grazing by the road. Anyone know animal symbolism for wolves? Love, Jeannette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi Jeannette! You might find this interesting! Love, dhyana Animal Totems The Wolf When a lone wolf is spotted in the wilderness it embodies the energy of freedom. When seen in a pack it embodies a sense of community. If wolf appears to you alone or in a pack it is asking you to acquire the same within your own life. In spite of their negative press wolves are actually friendly, social and highly intelligent. The wolf's senses are highly developed. Their intelligence is marked with excellent hearing, sense of smell and strong feeling. They are determined as well as cunning and use these skills for the benefit of the pack. The howl of the wolf is primal and penetrating. They howl to find other pack members or to let wolves from outside of the pack know their territory boundaries. If you hear a wolf howl it might be telling you to stand your ground and defend your boundaries. Wolf teaches you to have a balance between the needs your family has of you and the needs you have for yourself. They are totally loyal to the pack but do not give up their identity to the pack. If wolf appears in your life you are being asked to look at where you are being too dependent and where you may be too independent. In both family and community there needs to be a balance. Wolves convey much with their bodies. If they are angry, they may stick their ears straight up and bare their teeth. A wolf who is suspicious pulls its ears back and squints. Fear is often shown by flattening the ears against the head. A wolf who wants to play dances and bows playfully. Their body language is symbolic for those with this medicine. Man also uses body language to convey messages. The study of this art can increase perception in those with this totem. Wolves hunt in packs, relying on endurance to run down weak and older animals. They have been known to run 35 miles a day in pursuit. They are the epitome of stamina and strength. With an extremely well developed societal organization, they act together to hunt and raise their young. They do not fight unnecessarily and often go out of their way to avoid fighting. Sometimes a growl, a glance, a posture is all that is necessary to determine dominance. Wolf teaches those with this medicine to know who you are and to develop strength and confidence in what you do. --- yogbittar <yogbittar wrote: > Hi Everyone, I just got back from an incredible bike > ride outside of > Aspen, CO.
