DAILY ANIMAL SPIRIT
Wolf spirit | Balance the needs of the one with the needs of the many.

Wolf can survive either as a loner or as part of a pack, and he howls to remind you that you have to balance the needs of others with the needs of the self. If you’re giving yourself away to your own detriment, you are living in opposition to Wolf medicine. Return to balance—and begin feeding your emotions, your mind, and your body.

The wolf is one of the most known power animals. Many people misunderstand the nature of this animal, labeling them as aggressive, and often think it’ll attack without any provocation. But, in fact, they are very clever, loyal, and protective of their herd. They will only strike when someone threatens their family or territory. They are very smart, sensitive and cherish their freedom.

Let’s take a look at some of the meanings and symbolisms of this spirit animal:

Powerful connection with your intuition: If you encounter a wolf in a dream or you come across an image of this powerful animal repeatedly, it is an indication that you are reconnecting with your higher instincts. This means you no longer need outside judgment to know how to navigate your way. Your mind is clear of doubts and your gut feeling is the compass pointing out the right steps to follow.

High intelligence: Contrary to popular belief, wolves do not react impulsively to their circumstances. They carefully calculate their actions and respond according to their experience and wisdom. Therefore, the wolf appears to remind you not to act rashly in whatever situation you are currently facing. It suggests you should trust in your skills and rise above your opponents’ game.

Loyalty and communication: Wolves, as mentioned above, are fiercely loyal to their pack. They have great communicational skills that lead them to be close to their family members. The wolf appears for you to recall your roots and get in touch with your family at times of distress or loneliness. By resuming your ties with your home place, you will find your way again.

Deep urge for freedom: Wolves are wild animals for a reason. They do not allow oppression by any authority, they are free, and they march to the beat of their own drum. When a wolf seems to constantly appear in your daily existence, it’s a warning sign you should pay close attention to. It means that you are losing independence and spontaneity due to an external situation. It is time to regain your freedom and fight for your territory before the flame of your spirit fades away.

The main personality traits of the wolf spirit animal are inteligence, determination, confidence, loyalty, boldness. Like elephants or dolphins, wolves raise their young, care for injured family members, and live in family groups. There is evidence that they suffer and mourn the loss of family members. They have a highly advanced and efficient social organization that enables them to withstand any hindrance. The alpha wolves are in charge of maintaining order and coherence, while the rest of the members have also specific functions. Wolves look after each other as individuals, form friendships and pass on knowledge from one generation to the next. Strong pack structure allows them to communicate effectively with each other. Older wolves teach younger ones hunting strategies and preserve a specific pack culture. They are curious and clever, plan their actions thoroughly, and do not let their opponents deceive them. They know exactly what they want and no one can make them question their goals and ambitions. Although they run in packs and are very protective of their lineage, they are also very strong and independent. They know who they are and never forget their roots. Despite the popular reputation of the lone wolf, there don’t live apart from each other. A lone wolf is not a wolf moving away from family and rebelling against the status quo, but simply looking for another wolf for companionship. They are social but do not easily trust outsiders. They are also extremely careful not to be led astray by appearances or empty promises. They enjoy the outdoors and open spaces. Wolves need a proper range to roam freely, and they can’t stand to be locked up or told what to do. If this were to happen, they will bear their fangs and make it clear to everyone else that they are messing with the wrong creature.


DAILY ORACLE CARD
KING OF SWORDS

The King of Swords tarot card shows a king who sits on his throne while holding a double-edged sword that points upwards in his right hand. The King of Swords radiates intellectual power, clear thinking, truth, and authority. He understands that power holds great responsibility.

The blue tunic that the king wears is a symbol of his spiritual understanding. The butterflies on the back of his throne are indicative of transformation. 

The King of Swords appearing in a reading suggests that you should remain objective in your current situation – you must establish truth by sticking to the facts. The King of Swords and his intellectual power implies that you will need to use your intellect to make your point known and attain your goals. Besides your experience and education, you should be sharp and observant, to see deeply into problems that come your way.

Because he rules over the suit of swords, he has a special connection to rules, laws, and diplomacy, which are systems of logical thought applied and manifest on earth.

The King of Swords meaning also shows that you need to be stern in your role while ensuring that you have clarity of mind at all times. When judging a situation, you need to consider all the possible consequences to make an appropriate judgment. You will need to leave your emotions out of the judgment so as to maintain rational thinking at all times. The King of Swords meaning suggests that you should take time to reason with others and be candid with the observations that you have made.

As far as your personal life goes, the King of Swords urges you to use your intellect and logic to maneuver the path that lies ahead. You will need to confront the issue at hand and make a sober decision. The King of Swords implies that you should be able to look at any situation and make a decision with complete impartiality. He can also be an indicator of the high ethical standards that the King of Swords demonstrates.
