To seek excellence in all endeavors, seeing
strength to be used in the service of justice and the
pack, rather than in personal aggrandizement.
All members of the pack, from the Alphas, down to the
newest pup, should be respected as individuals whose opinions are important to the growth of the pack.
JUSTICE
Seek always the path of 'right',
unencumbered by bias or personal interest.
Recognize that the sword of justice can be a
terrible thing, so it must be tempered by humanity
and mercy. If the 'right' you see, agrees with
others, and you seek it out without bending to
the temptation for expediency, then you will
earn renown beyond measure..
LOYALTY
Be known for unwavering commitment
to the Pack and ideals you choose to live by.
There are many places where compromise is expected;
loyalty is not amongst them. The pack should remain
loyal to every member, and every member in return
remain loyal to the pack.
DEFENSE
Seek always to defend your pack, your
family, and those to whom you believe worthy of
loyalty. Every member of the pack should be willing
to come to the aide or defense of every other member
of the pack. No exceptions. No member of the pack
should ever feel threatened or intimidated by any
other member of the pack.
COURAGE
Be prepared to make personal sacrifices
in service of the precepts and people you value.
At the same time, seek wisdom to see that stupidity
and courage are cousins. Courage also means taking
the side of truth in all matters, rather than seeking
the expedient lie. Seek the truth whenever possible,
but remember to temper justice with mercy, or the pure
truth can bring grief.
FAITH
Have faith in your beliefs, for faith roots
you and gives hope against the despair that human
failings create.
HUMILITY
Value first the contributions of others;
do not boast of your own accomplishments, let others
do this for you. Tell the deeds of others before your
own, according them the renown rightfully earned through
virtuous deeds. In this way it is well done and glorified,
helping not only the gentle spoken of but also all who
call yourself Pack.
FRANCHISE
Seek to emulate everything I have spoken
of as sincerely as possible, not for the reason of
personal gain but because it is right. Do not restrict
your exploration to the small world, but seek to infuse
every aspect of your life with these qualities. Should you
succeed in even a tiny measure then you will be well remembered
for your quality and virtue.
WOLF MEDICINE
The mournful cry of the Wolf is the sound
that links this World with the one beyond.
The Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner
of new ideas.
Fiercely loyal to friends, family, ideals and
principles. There is no compromise for you.
Territorial. You protect all that is yours and your
family's at any expense. You are fearless, but not
reckless in your protection.
Strong family structure. There is no doubt who the
elders, patriarchs and parents are, or about their
roles in the family structure. Disobedience,
selfishness and unruly behavior is not tolerated
as there are strong boundaries for the young. They
are taught well and carefully so that they may assume
leadership roles in their own family structures.
Sense of adventure. You love to explore , to stretch
out for new horizons. You have a thirst for knowledge
and for learning new things. You are eager to share
these things, which makes you a natural teacher.
Your adventures may take you away from home and
family, but it is important that you have this
security to return to.
