The Wolven Path is a re-birth of an ancient Celtic/Druidic form of Shamanism, descended from North European traditions. The lineage and history of the Tradition is lost in the mists of history.
The Shamanic Tradition follows the qualities and character of the wolf and incorporates those into a Spirit and Earth driven way of life and relationship. Within the Wolven Path is the belief that from the First Breath, the Creator sent a teacher to humankind and that this teacher, the First Shaman, was a wolf; Fao-lin Mac Tire. The people refused to listen to the wolf and it was destroyed and vilified. In response to this the Creator sent the second shaman who was a wolf in human form and so this continues the human wolf returns again and again to remind the lost to return home and this compassion will remain until the last breath.
This Wolf has links to Fenris, the Dark Wolf, son of Loki, who was made divine so that he would not complete his destiny, which was to bring an end to the gods (to disparity) and return the world to its primal equality. The First Pathfinder Shaman is buried deep within the earth and his messenger is the Twin Pathfinder Shaman Bran Fithcheak, the Raven.
The Wolven Path tradition is one foremost of community, clan and family; where all interactions are based upon the interactions within a family or pack.

The Tradition is based on a Nomadic tribe’s view of the world around them; the Pathfinder being their guide for following the journey of survival and wellbeing. The Pathfinder was versed in the ancient and hereditary teachings of the actual paths the tribe would take on their journey from the mountains of winter to the water of summer; they knew the plants, trees and animals of the Forest; they knew each member of the community and were able to plan paths for each in their lives to support the tribe and to maintain relationships with the environment. Through personal travail and journey they had the intimate relationships with all the spirits of the land, the forest, the waters and the plains; they could read and interpret the signs of the spirits present in the world about them and they knew the stories of the oral tradition to use as guidance and direction for their community. The Pathfinder Shaman of the Tradition believe that they are the returning Wolf Shaman and each is permanently marked spiritually and physically to proclaim this.

The wolf is the perfect parent; it cares for its young to its own death. The wolf values infancy and see the potential of all young as a blessing for the future not just of its own species but children as a promise for the future of all species. The wolf parent embodies the Twelfth Law of Shamanism “Children, the young and the new, must not be harmed for the continuity of life and the promise of the future is through children.”
Legend speaks of wolves raising infants and those infants changing the world.  The Wolf sees the future promise in all
The People of the Wolf made an agreement with the Great Spirit; The One Above, to hold the Sacred Teachings and Memories of Astral ancestry for the People of Humankind and to bring home to the First Times, the four leggeds who learnt to walk on two.
The Wolf becomes the embodiment of the Great Spirit’s guidance and presence and is the Holder of the Sacred Wisdom.
The Wolf is the Silent Teacher, which leads to the truth, even when the path to that truth is strewn with pain and hardship. The Silent Teacher will not abandon its pupils. It is in the silence that we are not deaf to the Spirit and in the stillness we will learn the steps to the Sacred Dance
The Wolf is the Psychopompus of the newly dead, leading the souls to be washed by them in the Sacred River. This washing eradicates all stain of mundane life; the wolf carries the lighter soul to its Spirit and thus to its ancestral home.
The Wolf is the Bone Collector, who gathers all the bones of the children of the earth and returns them to the Cradle of the sacred Mother.
The Wolf is the Pathfinder; leading us to and by the ways that serve us best, that keep us safe.
The Wolf is the Shadow Seer and has the ability and duty to walk into the realm of shadows to retrieve the lost.
The Wolf is the Moon Walker, that finds its steps along the edge of day and night, light and dark, having the ability to live in both.
The Wolf is the Sun Warrior, never afraid to fight the necessary battle and to be seen in both its power and its vulnerability.
The Wolf is the Joy Dancer, who feeds and nurtures with generosity and sacrifice, whilst revelling in the magic of life.


The Shamanic Practitioners, Shaman and Followers of the Wolven Path Tradition, incorporate to the best of their ability these virtues in their practice, life and service.
The Tradition holds to the concept of the Creator Spirit; The One Above, which imbues the world with wisdom and love. That Spirit emanates Soul to manifest incarnate form and that all incarnate form is related by this original commonality.
That The Great Creator Spirit Celi; The One Above Tei, is inherent in all teaching and action and is manifest profoundly in all relational process.
