The ultimate symbol of pure freedom, the wolf is a sociable animal gifted with great empathy. Long ago, people demonized it because it escaped their control: although it lives in a pack, it would rather resist than lose its freedom.

The wolf, instinct and freedom
The wolf is the twelfth and last animal of the Native American wheel. It matches the end of winter, just before spring returns, and the sign of Pisces in Western astrology. It thus closes the circle and prepares the renewal.
It is often associated with loyalty, strength, freedom and spirituality. A symbol of instinct and intelligence, it also reminds us of the importance of bonds: the wolf lives in a pack, but knows how to walk alone when it must. Like the owl, it readily trusts its intuition to face challenges.
👉 A wolf's howl carries for several kilometers (a few miles): it serves to gather the pack and tell others where it is.
