Native American Indian omens and superstitions question here…..?
Last night, during a storm, I was inside my garage with the door open looking out at the rain come down, when a huge, pure white wolf with yellow eyes came at a fast run from the middle of the deserted street and ran straight into the garage. He was sopping wet, cold and hungry. I have cared for our friend's wolf and so know how to interact with one. Slow, sure movements, no running and no fear. I toweled him off gently, laid down a pad of blankets for him to rest and hand fed him roast beef, allowing him to lick and nibble my finger tips. He stood up on me and met my height – 5'6" and tried to dance with me, it seemed, though I know it's not possible. When I forced him down, he reached behind my leg and put my calf in his mouth and tried to pull me out of the garage. I could feel his sharp teeth prick my skin but he didn't tear the flesh. I told him to rest and was trying to be spiritual with him, because I was trying not to become afraid. He was about a year old, as best I could judge. Then he lay down and slept 30 minutes, got up tried to play with me but he was too big and powerful, even for a pup and I quietly moved away and went in the house. Each time I would come outside, he would following me around. He seemed very calm and comfortable around me. It was 4:00 am when he finally left my yard. Late this morning I awoke and he was gone. It was an amazing experience. My sister and I have discussed this occurance and she feels the wolf is a ghost dog, who comes to guide someone soon to depart life. I think it could be a good omen.
I am wondering if there is some Native American Indian lore about such an experience or someone who has any knowledge of it that will say weither or not this is a good omen or a prelude to death? I wouldn't mind getting advise from experienced wolf handlers about what to do if he should come back and if you thought I was foolish to have interacted with an animal unknown to me.
I feel it is just an amazing and unexpected experience but it felt spiritual. I didn't get a photo because I wasn't sure how the wolf would react and I didn't want to get hurt or offend it, since I know they are very sensitive animals. =)

I believe it was a good omen, especially with woman I feel it is your protector.You should feel honored that this happened to you.Since the beginning of time, the Native Americans have been associating their lives with that of animals in the wildlife kingdom. One of the most misunderstood of these animals is the wolf. For years, the wolf has been seen as an aggressor, when in reality they are very loving and social creatures. This side of the animal was first seen by the tribes of the Americas. The Native American tribes recognized this and they have incorporated the wolf into many of their myths and legends. The wolf will forever be associated with the Native Americans, and learning more about this relationship can help one to better understand the world of Native Americans.One can look to the many tribes of the Native Americans to see stories that tell about wolves. The Sioux, Cherokee, Lakota, and others all have stories about how the wolves helped in the development of man. The creation story of the Cherokee has a wolf in it as well as the story of the woman who was left behind in the Lakota tribe and the wolf saved her. Just as Romulus and Remus were supposedly saved by a she wolf and they then founded Rome.Wolves have been in the world of Native Americans since the beginning. They are revered not only for their strength but also for their endurance. Wolves can sustain life with little food or water for extremely long periods of time. This was something that the Native Americans hoped for in their own selves.Today, the wolves can be seen in numerous Native American arts. They are depicted by watching over people while they sleep or as a journey to the spirit world. Owning these magnificent creatures is not something that most are encouraged to do, however, you can own a piece of Native American art that showcases these incredible creatures. If you do not live in or near an Indian reservation or land, then you can use the internet to search for beautiful artwork that is all hand made by Native American artisans. Everything from wolf jewelry to wolf dream catchers can be located online. Often you will see women with the wolves in Native American art due to the stories that depict women and wolves together.
omens are fake but it could be a guardian angel
wow. very interesting but i don't believe in all those omen stuff. its fake to me
Go to a Native American tribe and tell them that. I swear they will laugh at you.
I am sorry not to be able to help you with any Native American Lore, but I can relate to yourfeelings.My thoughts on reading your description were ones of peace and happiness, and this animalwas obviously completely at ease and trusted you, otherwise there is no way he would have slept.What I am trying to say, is that whatever interpretation you put to this wonderful experience, it canonly be a friendly one.I do not consider you foolish for interacting with an animal unknown to you, I have been doing thisall my life, with no regrets. Animals always know our feelings towards them.
