I'm concious that far right BNP/NF type Facist/Nazi organisations have started to use this symbolism just like they have tried to appropriate the history of Winston Churchill and take "ownership" of union jack etc
Like the "K" Liberation Front my instinct is to challenge Far right organisations over ownership of what should be common currency
I'd been aware for about a week or so that i'd been experiencing a succession of "white wolf" syncronicites. Today i was reading the latest post on the blog by Neil Kramer "The Cleaver" ( which included lots of images of wolves ) and no sooner had i finished than Shakira's new tune "She Wolf" came on MTV in the backgound.
Like mmany I first beacame concious of the wolf archetype with the children's favourite "Little Red Riding Hood " in my mid teens i was exposed to the more "adult" versions of the tale and became more aware of sexual themes related to th archetype , Informational exchange wth the 23rd current reintroduced the archetype to my conciousness in relation to "Sleeping Dogs" and the awakening of conciousness. Apart from the aforemention links with White power organistion the wolf had been dormant in my conciousness until the last few days, I think it's interesting these groups resonate with the wolf as i believe their "politics of hate" is a result not just of ignaorance but a deep seated fear and they hunt in packs preying on the vulnerable , Wolves like may dogs when hunting smell the fear and these far right political leaders do similar things smelling the fear in their potential recruits
The Buddha and later Yoda said "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred leads to violence" and this is sadly a description of the activity of the far right
In Capoeira theres an expression "the lone wolf" for a player that for whatever reason doesn't have a group to call their own. For a while following injury I felt somewhat of a lone wolf but never really severed my ties with my group (East London Capoeira Angla Palmares ) and i'm glad to say I train a little bit again now . To me the wolf represents the awakening of conciousness , not the vicous hunter driven unconciously by fear.
