Wolf

Your Spirit animal is a Wolf! Wolves are beautiful and mysterious creatures that have often been misunderstood and represented negatively, although in Native American culture they are considered to be a very spiritual totem animal with much to teach us. Wolves are full of stamina, often running for long periods at a time and so represent being tenacious, and perseverance.

Wolves are very family orientated, but yet do manage to preserve some individuality. If the wolf is your spirit animal then do look at your home/work/friends balance, as if it is out of kilter, learning from the wolf will help you correct this.

Wolves are very intelligent, reminding us to think before we speak and act. Those with the wolf as their spirit animal are likely to find themselves drawn to spiritual or metaphysical paths.

Wolves can be a bit uncertain and shy at times and this can lead to a lack of confidence, and so the wolf may have lessons for you about needing to trust yourself. Wolves are very territorial, and this can play out in people as getting angry when you feel someone has crossed a line, which in relationships can be interpreted as aggressive or possessive, so the wolf as a totem animal can also be there to encourage us to let go and not take things so personally.

Like all animals, the wolf represents both negative and positive qualities. In the view of the Native Americans we can learn from our spirit animal by studying both types of qualities and striving to improve further at the positive ones and avoid the negative ones.

Positive Traits: Intelligent, Family Orientated, Ability to not give up, Spiritual, Loyalty
