The Wolf & Owl are our newest additions to the magical menagerie, seated comfortably on the memorial bench. Scott carved the pair in memory of his sister Chauncey, who loved “the idea that two very different animals can find companionship, kindness and even love together.”
To have Wolf as your spirit animal means you must have a deep connection with your instincts and your appreciation of the wild. As a wolf, you are loyal and smart and carry the instinct for freedom. Black wolves like this one are less aggressive than many other kinds of wolves, and it has been well documented that they have mated with domestic dogs for centuries. This particular wolf is close friends with a young owl, so there are times when kindness overrules all else. When you carry the owl spirit animal, you see beyond appearances and deceptions.
“The gaze of the wolf reaches into our soul.” ~ Barry Lopez
“An owl sound wandered along the road with me. I didn’t hear it,
I breathed it into my ears.” ~ William Stafford
