The Moon Wolf is a person who has entered the story of awakening. They have glimpsed a vision of something outside of their experience that has allowed them to veer off the path of forgetfulness. Now following a new path, made from the intention of discovery and awareness, the Moon Wolf individual begins a Journey that will connect them to their soul, the earth, and their community.
The inspiration for "Moon Wolf" originates from a profound visionary dream, which many contemporary practitioners would interpret as a past life experience. It chronicles a journey of self-discovery and the reawakening of forgotten knowledge. In numerous spiritual traditions, the transmigration of a spirit into the living realm is believed to erase memories of previous existences. However, there is consistently a pivotal moment in each lifetime when an individual enters and initiates the resurgence of these dormant memories. The narrative of Moon Wolf journey exemplifies such a phenomenon.
In this visionary dream, the Wolf traverses the landscape and encounters a creek running through a wide canyon. A blend of curiosity and circumspection pervades the wolf's mind as it observes from the edge of the creek and notices a human dwelling and a burning fire on the opposite side.. To the wolf's astonishment, a human approaches the bank of the creek and extends an invitation to the wandering wolf.
The wolf decides to cross the creek/ Letting the water rush around its legs, the wolf comprehends that it is now embarking upon a new trajectory, allowing for the complete release of its past.
The human has a kind and ancient soul: sagacious, patient, and compassionate. He offers his home to share with the wolf, and when accepted, he begins imparting knowledge about the land and how to forge a connection with it. Eventually, he begins to instruct the wolf on how to rediscover what has long been forgotten.
One evening, the wolf approaches the creek for a drink and, for the first time, beholds its reflection as it gazes into the water beneath the illumination of a full moon. Stuck in a gaze and amazed at the realization of its image. The human joins the wolf and teaches that its reflection is merely an illusion, akin to its experience as a wolf. He states that to unearth what is truly forgotten, the wolf must learn to perceive beyond sensory perception. The human then directs the wolf's attention to the moon. He introduced it to the spirit of the moon, which in turn greets the wolf. At that precise moment, the wolf begins to apprehend the spirit of the moon and the moon begins to impart the wisdom of the heavens and recounts to the wolf tales of every life it has witnessed the wolf inhabit. Gradually, the wolf recollects all its past and future existences and remembers its true self. .
This journey ultimately guides the wolf to the human, who was awaiting to help in its reawakening. Through the celestial narratives of the moon, the wolf awakens to the totality of its past and future experiences, achieving complete self-awareness once more. For the remainder of its lifetime as a wolf, it decided to carry the name "Moon Wolf" in appreciation for the guidance bestowed upon it by the spirit of the moon.
