There are several species of Wolf differing greatly in size, from 30 to 150 pounds. Before humans decimated their numbers, Wolves lived in a wide variety of climates from the arctic to the subtropics. All of their senses are excellent and well above human ability. They prey mostly on hoofed animals, such as deer, moose and elk. 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. With an extremely well developed societal organization, they act together to hunt and raise their young. They exercise a rigid hierarchy in their packs, with the dominant Wolf calling the shots. There are no documented cases of a wild Wolf killing a human in North America, though there are cases that have been verified in Europe. Wolves actually prefer to avoid people. They are seldom aggressive towards each other and rarely do they engage in actual violence. Only when Wolves are having a dominance struggle or when a stray tries to infiltrate the pack will there be blood.
Wolf Medicine...
Wolf medicine can teach you to have a balance between your family's needs for you and your needs for you. Wolves are totally loyal to the pack, but do not give up their identity to the pack. If Wolf has come into your life in some fashion, 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 between me and us. Wolf can help you learn this.
In Wolf terms, you can't be too loyal to the pack. In human terms, you can become too devoted to an idea, a group or a family unit, particularly if the family is dysfunctional and robbing your power. If Wolf makes itself known to you, it may hold the message that it is time to break away from the pack you are in and start your own.
