Totem of the Wolf
"The wolf, noble and powerful, deserves both our fear and our reverence."The wolf is one of animism's most enduring spirit animals. From the Celtic wolf depictions of the Morrigan and the Cailleach, the wolf mothers of Roman and the Turkish legends, all the way to Native American myths and folk tales, wolves represent the connection between the physical, mortal world and the metaphysical plane of the gods and the cosmos in many pagan religions, where they are considered messengers between the divine and the corporeal. To the early Slavs, the wolf was connected to Horz, the god of the moon, and his dominion over night and the hours of darkness. The connection between wolves and the moon (and specifically, their howling) is now common folklore but to the Slavs, the night was when the wolves hunted. Although revered by tribal pagans, they were also feared; wolves are hunters and predators that presented both a challenge and a threat to the Slavic people, as they were difficult to hunt and extremely dangerous when encountered. Nevertheless, the Slavs respected anything that made them stronger, assuming they survived the experience of course!
