WOLVES SYMBOLIZE: LOYALTY, TEACHER, COOPERATION

Wolf symbolizes perseverance, intuition, loyalty and success. The teacher of new ideas and wisdom, Wolf shows intense loyalty balanced with independence. Wolves are proficient hunters and have always been greatly respected for their cleverness. Because they might bestow this hunting prowess on people, wolves have often been called upon as spirit helpers. Like Orca, Wolves mate for life, thus having great strength in their relationships.
