“From beasts we scorn as soulless,
In forest, field and den,
The cry goes up to witness,
The soullessness of men.”
M. Frida Hartley
Music: Dances With Wolves
I spent much of my free time over the years
Up amongst The Wolves of The Great Lakes
How I truly loved, observing them in the wild
They were protected, and now their lives we take
I would joyously camp out on an island, on a wild lake
And as the moon would rise, I’d spot them on the shore
My dogs and I would very happily listen to them howling
And now, so very sadly, we soon won’t be able to anymore
Last year, our so called ‘leaders’ stripped them of their protection
And now, these lakes and woods are filled with so called ‘sportsmen’
Who now delight in shooting, trapping, poisoning, and ensnaring them
We are now rapidly bringing the days of the wild timber wolf to an end
And I get so sick of hearing that America’s wolves now have to be killed
Because they are now a threat to livestock, to people, and to America’s pets
The vast majority of The Wolves of the Great Lakes live in truly remote areas
And over the years, they have never attacked any human beings or any pets yet
All these wondrously wild and god-given creatures want, is to be left alone, to live
But as with so many other types of wildlife today, mankind covets, what they have
We crave their lakes, their forests, their mountainsides, and the deer and elk they eat
I mourn our modern day greed, and I find our penchant to kill everything today so sad
Great Lakes ‘Sport’ Trapping Season begins today Nov. 24,
And hundreds more of these beautiful and intelligent animals,
Will soon suffer and die, in gruesome leghold traps and snares.
I spent much of my free time over the years,
Up amongst The Wolves of The Great Lakes;
How I truly loved observing them out in the wild,
They were protected, and now, their lives we take.

in this manner... it is barbaric! It just shows
where the laws are turning on a right to protect
our wildlife are going...
Thank you again for the awareness
they are too blind to see what the wolf represents:
Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. Wolf takes one mate for life and is loyal like Dog. If you were to keep company with Wolves, you would find an enormous sense of family within the pack, as well individualistic urge. These qualities make Wolf very much like the human race. As humans, we also have an ability to be a part of society and yet still embody our individual dreams and ideas.
In the Great Star Nation, Wolf is represented by the Dog Star, Sirius, which legend tells us was the original home of our teachers in ancient times. Sirius was thought to be the home of the gods by the ancient Egyptians and is still considered so by the Dogan tribe in Africa. It stands to reason the Native American peoples would formulate this same connection and adopt Wolf people as the clan of teachers.
The senses of Wolf are very keen, and the moon is its power ally. The moon is the symbol for psychic energy, or the unconscious that holds the secrets of knowledge and wisdom. Baying at the moon may be an indication of Wolf's desire to connect with new ideas, which are just below the surface of consciousness. Wolf medicine empowers the teacher within us all to come forth and aid the children of Earth in understanding the Great Mystery and life.
I know I tend to get wordy...
Thank you for the awareness again...
Love and Light
