The wolf spirit animal represents things like power, wildness, instincts, loyalty, independence and relying on others. Wolves are associated with freedom and movement, as they can travel great distances and are also adaptable to many different climates. They’re skilled predators that are built for a predatory lifestyle which is guided by their finely-tuned instincts.
Wolves are also social creatures who run in packs where there is an alpha, or lead, wolf who the other wolves are submissive to. They rely on each other when it comes to hunting and this allows them to take down bigger game which can feed the whole pack. Due to this need for socialization, which is imperative for their survival, wolves are also very loyal and work together as a team.
So the wolf spirit animal can indicate that it’s time for you to get in touch with your inner power and instincts to guide you in life. It can also signify a need to go your own way and explore all that the world has to offer you by charting new territory and getting out of your comfort zone. The wolf can also signify a need for you to get in touch with your own predatory instincts in order to take the initiative and go after what you want in life.
