Today's animal in our A - Z animal spirit series has captivated human imagination for centuries. It is the wolf who embodies a complex array of symbolic meanings across many cultures. The wolf is found in Europe, Asia and North America. These majestic creatures have played significant roles in mythology, folklore, and spiritual beliefs. Overall wolf symbolizes power, wisdom, loyalty, adaptability, courage, socialization, communication, and our key to preventing overgrazing by other animals for the spirit of nature. Wolves are well adapted predators with several physical characteristics that contribute to their hunting prowess. Their bodies are streamlined and muscular, designed for endurance running, and for swift movements. The Wolf has large paws with well-developed claws that aid in gripping prey, and in navigating various terrains. They are found in snow covered landscapes, and dense forests. All of their senses are finely tuned for hunting. Wolves have keen eyesight, which allows them to detect movement over very long distances, even in low light conditions. Their sense of smell is acute and perhaps their most powerful tool. It helps them to track prey, identify pack members, and communicate through their scent marking in their territory.

So call in the wolf spirit for courage, wisdom, loyalty, adaptability. Call in the wolf! “Call IT in With Dar!”
