Wolves are known mostly as pack animals, but as a couple, they represent a lifelong bond. The protective, front-running male is aware of the prospects and risks ahead, while the playful, wild female frolics free-spiritedly nearby. This piece wants to tell a story about the inner masculine and feminine, or in Jung's terms, the animus and anima. When there is a marriage of the two within, we can call upon the warrior or the nurturer when needed, and we can sense that we are whole. Because it would be a disservice to the maturity of Self to linger in one aspect unnecessarily, the two exist to divinely balance one another, bringing peace to the psyche. There is a time for the sword, for action, for hunting, for closing the deal, for taking on the world, for digging the den, for soldiering through. And equally, there is a time for nesting, for comfort, for gathering, for weaving, for holding the emotions of others, for intuition, for creativity, for going within, and for grieving.
One cannot survive without the other. These two wild spirits offer up a reminder of that sacred harmony between the trusty king and illuminated queen within.
