    The wolf is a strong symbol of family bonds and protection.

    The wolf is a symbol of strength, courage loyalty. It is a good provider and all members of a pack care for the young. It does not matter if you are Christian, the wolf does not care, he has come into your life to protect you.

    um first I have to say, Christianity has many "PAGEN" starts, same with the Catholic religion. This is seen as these religions progressed into what they are. Symbols that are used had "pagen" orgin. Rights are from pagen orgin. Christianity did not just appear, it evolved from an idea and incorporated many other rituals from "pagen" religions.

    second, the wolf is a strong family animal. people may see you as "family." The wolf is a strong caring creature. It thinks not of itself but it's family always comes first. The wolf is smart and cunning.

    these people who are giving you these gifts may see you as this also. or just maybe they think you like wolves alot.

    The wolf is a teacher and a protector. It seems you have been chosen by our four-legged brother and this is a good thing. If wolf is truly one of your spirit/totem animals he will come to you in your dreams. You must have some American Indian blood in you somewhere. Right now all the peoples with American Indian ancestry are awaking to who they are. This could be the situation with you. It has nothing to do with man-made religion. We are all a part of the sacred circle and it would seem you're beginning to awaken to that. This is good. Be true to yourself regardless of what anyone, including your pastor, thinks or says.

    Maybe somebody thought you liked wolf stuff.

    It could just be that simple.

    My sister is a Taurus, but since she's female I give her COW stuff all the time. I'm still looking for those old can things that you flip over and they moo.

    If your a SKIN, doesn't matter what religion YOU follow, your peoples way will ALWAYS win in the end. EVERYBODY comes back home.

    Perhaps you could ask for other images like whales, dolphins or pink flamingos.

    I really doubt it is anything symbolic. I think people just chose to give. And if you feel very strongly about the "wolf" perhaps you can give to some Save the Wolf organization or sanctuary.

    Maybe it's a way of letting you know your animal guardian is w/you and on the job. If you find yourself in a jam call on the wolf.

    The first time I left my daughter home alone overnight after she had just turned 18, and I went out on the hill and was praying for her protection while I was gone for the week-end, I saw 2 wolves during my prayers. When I got home, she told me there had been 2 dogs that looked just like wolves hanging around in our backyard that week-end. Wolves are for protection of family.

    In some traditions, the wolf is considered a teacher. Are you one, and that does not necessarily mean in the classroom?

    Wolfs are so gosh darn beautiful, that is the most likely answer. Please do not confuse American Indian religion with paganism or new age healing.
