Why wolf howl at moon?

Have you ever wondereded exactly why wolves howl at the Moon? Well, the truth is, they don’t. It’s a common myth that wolves are more likely to howl during a full moon. However, there’s no evidence linking the behavior to lunar phases.

Still, you’re much more likely to hear a wolf howl at night than during the day. Wolves are nocturnal. They sleep during the day; when the Sun goes down, they move about and hunt. Over the millennia, humans have noticed that they hear wolves howling at night. That’s why we’ve long connected this behavior with the Moon. 

Spiritually, wolves are intricately linked with the night and with the moon. The added symbolism of howling makes a wolf howling at the moon a perfect spiritual message that contains a deeper meaning. In ancient traditions when storytellers passed on messages through fables, they gave profound spiritual insight through loaded symbolism such as this. 

Wolves predominantly travel in groups and have a very strong and loyal community, known as a pack. However, the wolf alone expresses deep freedom and individuality, which is where the “lone wolf” gets its role in the spiritual journey. The power of such independent and free spirits choosing to live together as a pack is a bond that is seen as deeply loving and heart-centered.
