Wolf is an eternal symbol of family, love, trust, and loyalty.  Wolves are extremely dedicated and loving parents.  They have a tightly knit hierarchy, and many blood ties within the pack.  Only the alpha female gives birth to pups, over whom she is extremely protective and watchful in the first weeks of life.  When she is able to leave her pups for short periods to join in the hunt,  they are expertly entrusted to their protective and eager elder sisters.  There is a lot of educational play in the group, and many vocal expressions of care and emotion. When wolves hunt, they move together as one. They seem to know exactly what the others in the pack are about to do, and what they should each do next.  Each uses their own talents accordingly....some chase, some encircle, they move closer....they are experts at solving problems as a family.  Wolves know and trust each other, and show undeniable love and affection for each other.  They are very loyal and keenly sensitive to one another,  jumping in to protect their family at the expense of their own safety.

 We don't often see wolves now in daily life in most parts of the world.  However,  Divine Spirit talks to us in many different ways, if we are only open to seeing them.  Maybe a billboard catches your eye, or a book your child brings home is about wolves.  Wolf comes to many people very vivdly in dreams.  If you are experiencing Wolf in your life, perhaps you need to strengthen the bond with your children or parents.  This can be a cue to get to know your family better and spend more time showing them that you care.  If you are closely drawn to Wolf, most likely you either already share some of these characteristics with this beautiful Animal Spirit or wish to better emulate them in your life.  Connecting with Wolf energy is a powerful but safe way to do this.  Wolf is a loving, loyal and protective spirit to have with you along your journey.   

Hawk is the symbol of Vision, Enlightenment and Clarity.  Hawk is also seen as a messenger of Spirit.  Far above in the great open sky, Hawk can see very far down to alert on its prey.  This far-seeing ability to obtain clarity from such a great distance is a trait that serves to bolster the success of this beautiful and lofty creature. Hawk, when seen in daily life, can be a whispering of Spirit in your ear, telling you to look for a message from your guides or the Creator.  This is also a clear call to keenly observe your new ideas and thoughts. Visualize the road before you clearly, the way you dream it to be.  Hawk has a powerful confidence and intricate intelligence, which you can draw from to open yourself to accepting your visions and ideas as gifts of Spirit within yourself, and then taking flight in the open beautiful sky to share those treasures with the world.
