RavenWolf is a name derived from the specific primary totem animals of Richard Wolfmoon and Christine Athena.
Richard has always had an affinity for the Wolf. As a Native American spirit guide, Wolf is the 'medicine' of the Teacher, the guide who is able to show us how to find the true pathway of our lives. Wolf is teacher, Richard is a teacher.
In Norse mythology, the Wolf is a symbol for victory when ridden by Odin and the Valkyries upon the battlefield.
As a Celtic symbol, the Wolf was a source of lunar power. Celtic lore states that the Wolf would hunt down the sun and devour it at each dusk so as to allow the power of the moon to come forth.
In Asia, the wolf guards the doors that allow entrance to heavenly, celestial realms. The Wolf is also said to be among the ancestry of Genghis Khan.
Christine has always been drawn to magic and that is the primary characteristic of Raven. While meditating in Sedona one day, a flock of ravens flew up from the valley below Airport Mesa Vortex and she knew that Raven was for her. It was a sign.
In Celtic lore, Raven is the symbol of of wisdom and knowledge as personified through the Welsh hero Bran, the Blessed, whose name in Welsh means raven. Bran was the holder of ancestral memories, and his wisdom was legendary. So much so, that he had his head (the vessel of his powerful wisdom) removed and interred in the sacred White Mount in London. Ravens are still roosting there (in the Tower of London), and they're thought to keep Bran's wisdom protected and alive by their presence.
The raven is symbolic of mind, thought and wisdom according to Norse legend, as their god Odin was accompanied by two ravens: Hugin who represented the power of thought and active search for information. The other raven, Mugin represented the mind, and its ability to intuit meaning rather than hunting for it. Odin would send these two ravens out each day to soar across the lands. At day's end, they would return to Odin and speak to him of all they had spied upon and learned on their journeys.
Odin was also known as the Raven God. He had many daughters known as Valkyries who could transform into ravens . I like to think Valkyries would ride as ravens after a bloody battle and whisper to the souls of fallen Norse warriors to raise up from their bodies and come with them, where they would soar the skies to Valhalla.
