Excerpt from review of Divining with Animal Guides:
“I was delighted to discover that Divining with Animal Guides is not a cookbook dictionary, concretizing the ‘meanings’ of animal encounters. Author Hearth Moon Rising has created a manual for learning to observe and discern and ultimately, to shift our strictly human viewpoint. Only when we look at the context in which the animals offer us their messages are we able to fully understand their invitations and gifts.

I believe most people think of the “wolf at the door” in the January moon, referring to the cold and desperation of winter’s depths. We have had a very cold month, after last year’s unseasonably warm winter, but the good thing about that has been more snow to play in.
The wolf is a matriarchal symbol of family, because wolves are so family oriented. The youngsters stay with the clan a few years after they’re full size to help raise the next litters.
