Wolf Ceremony

I wanted to give something of my past to my grandson. So I took him into the woods, to a quiet spot. Seated at my feet he listened as I told him of the powers that were given to each creature. He moved not a muscle as I explained how the woods had always provided us, with food,homes,comfort and religion. He was awed when I related to him how the Wolf became our guardian, and when I told him that I would sing the Sacred Wolf Song over him, he was overjoyed.

He was awed when I related to him how the Wolf became our guardian, and when I told him that I would sing the Sacred Wolf Song over him, he was overjoyed.

In my song, I appealed to the Wolf to come and preside over us while I would perform the Wolf ceremony so that the bondage between my grandson and the wolf would be lifelong.


I Sang.
In my voice was the hope that clings to every heartbeat.
I Sang.
In my words were the powers I inherited from my forefathers.
I Sang.
In my cupped hands lay a spruce seed...the link of creation.
I Sang.
In my eyes sparkled Love.
I Sang.

And the song floated on the sun's rays from tree to tree. When i was ended, it was if the whole world listened with us to hear the Wolf's reply.

We waited a long time but none came. Again I sang, humbly but as invitingly as I could, until my throat ached and my voice gave out. All of a sudden, I realized why no Wolves had heard my sacred song?!.

There were none left!

My heart filled with tears. I could no longer give my grandson faith in the past, our past.

At last I could whisper to him:"It is finished!"

"Can I go home now?" He asked, checking his watch to see if he would still be in time to catch his favorite program on TV

I watched him disappear and wept in silence.

All is Finished!

Story By Cheif Dan George (1899-1981)

Wow, what a powerful story Furya. Being half Native American I can certainly relate to that. My grandfather always explained to me how very important each creature was and how the wolf was very dear to our people. I have always been closer to my Native American side than my Irish side. Although, on my Irish side are the Celtics which also value nature. Thank you for sharing your story. It sort of reminded me of all the times my grandfather would take me into the woods and explain how nature works in balance. He always prayed to the great spirits that they would send me a protector and being a therian I think that they sent me the wolf in answer.

I deffinatly will check it out. I'm always interested in reading things.

[Furya]

my brothers are cherokee. (were all adopted, and i'm from different parents than theirs) I'm swedish/italian

[Ancient]

Really your brothers are Cherokee? That's cool because that is also my tribe. I'm from the eagle (long hair) totem. Do you know what totem you brothers are?

[Furya]

no. but man would it be cool to find out.

[Ancient]

I think it would be too. Me and your brothers could maybe be realted. Which would also make you my sister. Wow, my brain is spinning things today. I think it's the fact that one should not drink four Red Bulls and expect to function like a human being.

Caffeine is one tough addiction to beat. SoBe's can help with that. Try the Lizz Blizz (the white one) or the Green Tea (which i suggest). And you'll feel more energized without the crappy afterexhaustion of a caffeine high. i was addicted for four years, and i quit just last month... i think.... i can'r really remember how long i've gone without caffeine now.

[Ancient]

Ah, I now have a new addiction. I tried the SoBe's Green Tea. Rocked my world. I now have a doctor I work with addicted as well. *hugs* Thank you for that suggestion Furya. Yeah, caffeine is a hard addiction to over come. Especialy since I drink one cup of coffee every morning. It's like a ritual.

[Furya]

i just got sick for spiking on two cups of coffee on monday. headache, stomache ache, and i was feeling dizzy. i was also tired from not sleeping too.

glad you like the green tea! it's my fav too. lot better than caffeine.

[Ancient]

Awww, sorry to hear you got sick. I've been working for over 3 days. It's wonderful and wow at the same time.
