ruthless greed. Wolves symbolize brazenness in carrying out evil, an obvious sexual predator, a rapacious lech, and a devourer. Wolves appear spiritually as chaotic forces and agents of calamity, abuse, and violence. These they promote by devious intelligence at work in spiritual battle as supernatural warriors. Wolves have long since been emblematic of witchcraft, and springing from this idea is the werewolf myth that blames a man’s transmutation upon the work of a witch.
