Wolf is a fierce animal who is loyal to the pack and protective
of her family. She is a loyal partner who mates for life, and
has a strong affinity with the family unit. The wolf pack has
a complex structure of relationships, where each individual has
its responsibilities to the others -- making the pack a very strong
unit.
In
world mythology, the wolf is seen as a powerful, terrible diety
-- a symbol of evil, destruction and death. Yet, in Celtic and
Irish mythology, the wolf is seen in a positive light. Wolf is
claimed as the ancestor of one Irish tribe . . . Comac, a king
of Ireland, was suckled by wolves and associated with them . .
. in Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus were protected and nurtured
by wolves.
In these pages, I hope to lay some light and dispell the old
nursery rhymes of the big, bad wolf. I wish to thank Monty
Sloan of Wolf Park,
for the use of his beautiful photo's. Most of the photo's on the
next pages are owned and copyrighted by Mr. Sloan.
