Origin & Lore

The wolf appears in the lore of nearly every people who lived alongside it, as a hunter, a guardian, a teacher and sometimes a threat. In Rome it was sacred to Mars, the war god, and Norse warriors called úlfheðnar wore wolfskins into battle. This oil is a modern blend used in spirit animal work, calling on the wolf for its strength and instinct.

Rome told its own founding story through a wolf: the she-wolf who suckled Romulus and Remus in a cave beneath the Palatine Hill.

At the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in February near the cave of the she-wolf, young men ran through the city striking women with strips of goatskin. In Norse myth the wolf Fenrir is bound by the gods, and Odin keeps two wolves, Geri and Freki, at his side.
