DESCRIPTION

Season of the Wolf/Spring
Alpha Wolf Mother
Keeper of the Clan,
Blood readies in your strong muscles
for the hunt.
But you must stay behind
and tend the future, the clan young.

See them go
the others of your family.
They will hunt food for you this night.
Each must tend to the responsibilities
of this common life
giving up ones’ desires,
hunting, birthing, killing, dying,
for the sake of the Clan.

You are part of a family
that lives beyond all individual lives,
and this Clan’s spirit is incarnated each Spring,
in the bodies of the young,
born from you, and you only,
Alpha Wolf Mother.
