Social Responsibilty
Today’s Wolf Full Moon
Did you know that the web that holds the social structure of the wolves together is based on sharing, strategy in acquiring food, training and nurturing the young? They are brave, protective and loyal. They hunt what they need to survive, not to kill. In native American culture the wolf and its essence is savored. All the tribes (the Pawnee were actually called Wolf People), were taught these significant life lessons from the wolf; how to love, care for the young, hunt and survive with respect to other living beings.

Can we learn from this? Will we?
I couldn’t help but going over this article from 2021 and find it more pertinent than ever. On January 3, 2026 we have another Wolf Full Moon that calls for fairness, respect, mothering not smothering. Karmic rewards are also possible in love and money provided you are fair to yourself and others. Fair, respectful, protective, these are all attributes the wolves seem to effortlessly subscribe to. Why can’t we? A native of the country we call United States once told me that the day we disrespect the wolf, humanity will stand in front of great peril. The new senate bill H.R. 845 that was voted in the United States about wolf hunting brings us closer to this edge. How close or far away are you from this land? It doesn’t matter, it is as good as happening in your back yard. Because as our world’s web falls apart silk string by silk string, it is a matter of time for us all to simply fall through it. Respect the wolf. Respect life. Respect your family.
Sung’Manitu-tanka Oyate: it is impossible for me to properly translate this in English, there is too deep a meaning for words. ‘The Great Spirit of the Wolf that hunts walking’ makes me think, and this is of course just my understanding of it, that everything and everyone on this planet is made of the same star particles, being in this sense interconnected. Every little piece of star matter and dust contains the Great Spirit, Life, Chi, Energeia.
