Obedience to rules is best achieved through a willingness to cooperate rather than a fear of punishment. Wolf teaches us how to become teachers so that our experiences of learning can help others as they seek their own answers. The way of the Wolf is the way of listening to the silent self, and following the scent within to find ones unique way through life. The Wolf advises us when to strike out on our own and when to stay safe in the protection of a pack. Unlike herd animals, this complex social animal does not follow a pre-established trail. She makes her own path through the maze of trees, zig-zagging as she pleases across all landscapes and defying patterns of habit. She may step onto a well-beaten path to track the scent of an object she desires. But she steps off that path just as easily as she’d stepped on, forging out into the unknown with fearless confidence. Wolf medicine teaches us how to live by our own inner guidance and not get stuck in the safety of a well-worn trail. She ask us to remember how we once communicated with our animal relatives and how we once made room for all forms of life regardless of differences.Wolf reminds us that it is possible to communicate with the all the animals of this planet. It is possible to have deeply satisfying (though subtle) relationships with life forms other than human. The animals are talking. Can you hear them? We need only listen and respond with acceptance for the vast array of differences between us all. Wolf’s body language, facial language, and vocal communication is as expressive as our own and the social order found in her family systems is often more advanced in cooperation than ours. Her tail indicates her mood and level of contentment. Unlike coyotes who howl in a chorus of individual voices, Wolves howl in harmony with each other creating a melodic song to the moon. Her voice uses whines, barks, growls, and howling with cosmic tones that can, in fact, be comprehended. Where her language may not translate into verbal expressions of logic, if we quiet the mind and listen with the other 90% of our being, we can grasp the deeper logic of her calls and we can even answer back. To learn how to do this we must be willing to learn. We must be willing to move through the humility of not knowing in order to step into the knowledge we seek. When we maintain a life-long willingness to learn we invariably become teachers. Wolf medicine is the medicine of the Teacher. A teacher is not a person with lots of information, though they may have that. A teacher is someone who has developed the ability to hold a healthy space around them regardless of outside influences. Space is the key to learning. Wolf holds the space for others to find their own. A teacher has no need to collect followers. A teacher simply proceeds on a personal path of exploration, creating space in their wake that allows others to find their own clarity as all our paths weave and cross. Every being born to Earth is a teacher of some topic for every being understands a unique perspective of life. If Wolf medicine is afoot, it may be time to share your knowledge in a more structured and formal way. Or it may be time to find an expert instructor to help you learn about your current situation. Ultimately all learning comes from the self, so a teacher can never show you how to do something. They can only show you how they’ve figured out how to do something. And with their example as a guide, you are then able to create your own way. The heart of wolf medicine is independence and she cautions young students from following people who seek to control others behavior or obtain excessive loyalty. A true teacher will not punish or respond to a student with angry aggression. Anger and pain is not compatible with learning. When seeking a teacher, Wolf medicine advises that the relationship feel safe and peaceful underneath the turbulence of the learning process. When seeking tobecome a teacher the most important topic to address is dissolving personal anger and opening to accepting people at whatever level of emotional/intellectual comprehension they may be at. Accepting a student at the level they are at will prevent conflict and deepen their ability to learn. Believing in people’s ability to learn is the primary role of a teacher.
