She-Wolf

I was about ready to thank Tracker for leaving me alone when he played mechanical tricks. I watched as what used to affect me now bounces off me. The movie Men Who Stare at Goats portrays the way he tries to get under my skin. His antics are so very far from Spiritual Heart surrounding me as well as resonating from my core.

I then had a dream: A basket was covered with a half lid. A female doll was placed inside the basket with her head at the top and covered by basket. A male doll was placed inside and on top of her. The basket was sealed up. I watched emotionless. Then…I sent my wolves in to destroy the basket. One wolf keeps a piercing eye on Tracker—tracking.

Black magic trickery = sorcery = voodoo. What was bound is unbound. What was attached is unattached. What was hooked is unhooked. What was thread is unthread. Basket of trickery is seen in the Light of Love and Truth.


Werewolffrom Women’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects:

Werewolf superstitions arise from the belief that most ancient deities and their followers could put on the nature of certain animals by wearing their skins or masks. Such “shape-shifting” customs gave rise to bull gods, cow goddesses, goat gods, horse gods, and ram gods not to mention all the numerous deities of Egypt who could become crocodiles, beetles, hawks, hippopotami, jackals and birds as well as the monkey, elephant, tiger, and cobra deities of India. Wolves were revered as psychopomps or carriers of the dead, the same as dogs and vultures. Worshippers of wolf deities wore wolf skins and regarded themselves as honorary wolves. Such “werewolves” were sacred to Zeus, Lycaios (Wolfish Zeus) at the temple on the summit of Mount Lycaion in Arcadia. Zeus’s devotees lived nine years as wolves in the forest then resumed human form if they had not eaten human flesh. It was said of Zeus’s wolf temple that people lost their shadows by entering its doors—a later characteristic of werewolves.

Up to the seventeenth century A.D. Latvian peasants “became werewolves” by similar means on Midsummer, Pentecost, and Lucia’s Night to save their crops from “sorcerers” who would carry barley, rye and oats away to hell.

Certain Irish tribes claimed that their ancestors were wolves, and prayed to wolves as their tribal totems for help and healing. One Irish clas was said to become werewolves automatically every seventh year. This “becoming” seems to have been a ritual transformation, as German folklore said a person might become a werewolf by putting on a wolf skin.

Diabolization of werewolf legends was assured by the fact that wolf clans worshiped the Goddess as the Great She-Wolf, Lupa or Feronia, “Mother of Wolves,” other names for Diana of the Wild Animals, later declared queen of witches.
