Wolf-The Call of the Wild

WOLF – THE CALL OF THE WILD
By Andrea Haugen
From her book, The Ancient Fires of Midgard

One of the animals that has left the strongest impression in the human
psyche is undoubtedly the wolf. The lupine has always been recognised
as the symbol of freedom, the image of the wild man and the wild
woman – our wild nature within.

'The modern man has lost his connection to the soil of his forefathers. The modern man's connection to his forefathers and the gods of his blood is lost too. He travels all across the Earth as a creature with no roots anywhere. He no longer grows his own food, he no longer catches his own fish or meat, he no longer milks the cows or collects eggs, berries, nuts, fruit and sea shells from nature. He no longer builds his own home or buries his own kin. He has lost his respect for nature, for his fatherland and for his kin, but he has gained nothing. The soul of the modern man is dead. He has lost almost everything.'
