Oh my wolf, all is well.

Here are some questions to ask yourself if you’re wondering what your animal totem is:
  • Have you ever felt drawn to one animal or another without being able to explain why? This could be animal, including birds and insects.
  • Does a certain kind of animal consistently appear in your life? This doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical appearance, it could be represented in other ways such as receiving card and letters with the same animal pictured over and over, unexplainable dreams of a particular animal, watching television and seeing the same animal featured time and time again, or, actually having the animal show up.
  • When you go to the zoo, a park, wildlife area, or forest, what are you most interested in seeing?
  • Are there any animals that you find to be extremely frightening or intriguing?
  • Is there a particular animal that you see frequently when you’re out in nature?
  • Have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal?
  • Have you ever had a recurring dream about a certain animal, or a dream from childhood that you have never been able to forget?
  • Are you drawn to figurines or paintings of a specific animal?




He recordado mis encuentros recurrentes con "un" animal, even if they came in the form of an attack; dreams (a protector Wolf's comfy furry back); objetos, talismanes... (figuritas de la suerte, murales, llaveros...); etc.

1 German Sepherd in the mountains while jogging that caused me to faint in shock
2 Attacked (LLE) by a wolf-dog, Sofi, when I accidentally touched her food bowl while sweepping the garden. I screamed in total panic. I was a little girl.
3 Dogs barking at the other side of the door when I had to knock because of my job in an insurance company, and of course, I could not run away every time I listened to the frenzied barking (and I didn't do it, not even once!)
4 My own dog, an adorable Catalan Shephard, bit me several times in the past, but once he hurt me quite severely.

Encounters (Spirit Guide): Dogs (wolves-relatives), wolf-dogs.
Lesson (Wolf Medicine): to overcome fears, to fight my own weaknesses, self-improvement (autosuperación).

También yo en cierto modo he renegado de él/ella (my Wolf) este tiempo. ¿Por qué? Por venir a ayudarme a reconocer mi propia voz interior, a plantarme en mi territorio y defender mis límites personales, por reforzarme en mis convicciones en momentos decisivos. Por tener que ser en esos momentos harsh, abrupt, edgy, transfixing... he querido en otros desterrarlo en cierto modo... ¿Por qué? ¿por sentirme luego más mansa, más dócil? ¿por vivir entonces más tranquila? ¿Es justo eso? No son amables los animales salvajes (como el instinto) en situaciones adversas; no se andan con chiquitas cuando conviene dejar algo claro. Sin embargo, eso no quita que haya un momento para la batalla y otro para el descanso, igual como lo hay para la familia y para el individuo, para la sociedad y para la soledad.. Y el Lobo enseña a guardar este equilibrio a los que llevan su medicina en el alma, o en los huesos...

Oh my Wolf, all is well. I need to apologize to her... and thank her for so many things and blessings! Thanks, Wild Wolf Mama! You teach me to gather peculiar tools and misty insights along the path. Awroooo!
