This is a bit drawn out but here goes:

Have you ever seen something and just been totally amazed? Have you ever been somewhere you probably shouldn't and had one of those experiences that if you talk about them you would feel like everyone would think you were nuts?

OK, well when I was a kid my parents took me to the zoo. We saw everything there is too see in the zoo, until we came upon the wolf den. One of the zookeeper said that the wolves just didn't want to come out, so I walked up to the fence and just sat down quietly and stared into the den, my parents started to tell me to come along and see other stuff, when all of the sudden one of the wolves stuck their head out of then den and just looked at me. Our eyes locked and he or she, not sure which, just walked over to me and sat down. Then all of the other wolves came and sat down next to him. They just stayed there looking at me and me at them. I wasn't scared, just fascinated. My mother was amazed, I wish I could have touched them, but the zoo keeper wouldn't let anyone put their hands through.

Then a few years later I was camping way up north in Canada, I totally can't remember where. Anyway at night I was alone by the fire and went for a walk, there was a full moon so I could see. I went down by the water and just sat quietly. What looked like a wolf, it could have been a coyote, came out of the woods, walked up close to me and just sat down about 2 or 3 feet from me. He looked at me and me at him, and we just sat. I swear I could hear him breathing. He laid down after a while and I just sat still. I was a little afraid, but something told me that he wasn't going to hurt me, so I just stayed. About 30 minutes passed, he got up, walked over nugged his head against my arm, I scratched his ear and he took off. The fur felt so thick, like a rug and smooth. I went back and my friends were freaking out, thinking I had wandered off somewhere and gotten lost. I wanted to tell them what happened but knew they just wouldn't get it.

I have always felt drawn to wolves, I still dream about them all of the time. I have dreams that I am running through the woods with them. Once I found wicca, I knew immediately that I had found the religion for me. Even when I am just walking quietly through the woods, I feel a hum, or a buzz. I love nature and I love animals. My cat is totally drawn to me and always has been even though my wife is the one who feeds her.

So, when I joined boy scouts we wanted to come up with code names, they named me wolf because I could see really well at night and I am totally affected by the full moon (I never sleep on a full moon). I was in lodge # 393 of the Order of the Arrow (Native American off shoot of boyscouts) so on the web I am refered to as wolf, wolf393, greywolf, or greywolf393, since in boyscouts I was surrounded by nature and loved it.
