The story of the Moon Wolf chronicles a journey of self-discovery and the reawakening of forgotten knowledge through a visionary dream. In numerous spiritual traditions, the transmigration of a spirit into the living realm is believed to erase memories of previous existences. However, there is consistently a pivotal moment in each lifetime when an individual enters and initiates the resurgence of these dormant memories. The narrative of Moon Wolf journey exemplifies such a phenomenon.

In this visionary dream, a Wolf traverses the landscape and encounters a shallow and wide creek running through a canyon.  Seeing and smelling a burning fire across the creek the wolfs curiosity drew it closer to the edge of the water with curiosity. To the wolf's astonishment, a human notices it and approaches the bank of the creek and extends an invitation to the wandering wolf to join him. 

The wolf the decision to cross the creek.  Letting the water rush around its legs, the wolf feels the worries and challenges of its travels fade away into the stream.  

Approaching the human, the wolf can sense that he has a kind and ancient soul: sagacious, patient, and compassionate. He offers his home to share with the wolf and after feeling a sense of renewal from crossing the creek, the wolf accepts the invite and begins to settle into the space watching and listening to the stories of the human.  And the human told many stories! He taught the wolf through these stories about life lessons, ways to live better, and how to listen to the earth and spirits around them.  In return the wolf gave the human a sense of community and both felt like they belonged. 

One evening, brightened by the light of the full moon, the wolf approaches the creek for a drink of water.  As the wolf looks down to take a drink, it pauses and recognizes its reflection in the moon lit water and, for the first time, becomes aware of what it looks like. Stuck in a gaze and amazed at the realization of its image, the human joins to see what has mesmerized the wolf.  The human, in amusement, tells the wolf that its reflection is merely an illusion, just like its experience as a wolf. He tells a story of how we live many lifetimes so that our true selves can learn the lessons it needs for each life because each time we are reborn, memory is taken away and we have the choice to learn new or old lessons.   He teaches the wolf that there is a way to unearth what is truly forgotten, and the wolf must learn to perceive beyond sensory perceptions like the one that shows its reflection. The human then directs the wolf's attention to the moon. He introduced it to the spirit of the moon, which in turn greets the wolf. At this moment, the spirit of the moon asks the wolf if it would like to learn about the lessons it learned in other lifetimes. With agreement, the moon begins to tell the wolf of all the lifetimes it watched over, recounting the lessons and events of each life.  

The conversation went on through the night, as the moon crossed the sky and right before it fell into the horizon, it told its final story of the wolfs life it lived now. With a moment of shock, the wolf realized it was now aware of all the lives lived and lessons learned. Filled with connection and awareness, the wolf thanked the Moon for reawakening its memory and they said the farewell until the next time they would meet again.

This journey ultimately guides the wolf to the human, who was waiting to help in its reawakening. Through the celestial narratives of the moon, the wolf awakens to the totality of its past and future experiences, achieving complete self-awareness once more. For the remainder of its lifetime as a wolf, it decided to carry the name "Moon Wolf" in appreciation for the guidance bestowed upon it by the spirit of the moon.
