“Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine…
…If you were to keep company with Wolves, you would find an enormous sense of family, as well as a strong individualistic urge. These qualities make wolf very much like the human race. As humans we also have an ability to be a part of society and yet still embody our individual dreams and ideas.”
(From ‘Medicine Cards’ – Jamie Sams & David Carson)
“Faol (Gaelic for Wolf) brings a strong sense of faithfulness, inner strength and intuition. But the wolf brings learning too. Sometimes you need to cross barriers, to take risks, to go beyond the limited compass of ‘normal’ behaviour in order to learn and grow, although crossing these boundaries may seem unattractive, even painful. You need not fear the inner power and strength you feel when you spend time alone. Come to know your deepest self and even in the darkest places you will find courage and spiritual companionship.”
(From ‘The Druid Animal Oracle Deck’ – Philip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm)
