Your Gut Feeling Was Right
The Werewolf
Drawing the Werewolf card symbolizes the struggle between your human self and your untamed nature. One force is primal and instinctual, a reflection of the raw, visceral part of your being. The other is cultivated and developed, growing from experiences and learning. In a continuous battle that can leave you feeling lost or disconnected, your personal journey requires acknowledging that both aspects coexist within you. There will be instances when your intuition and urgings appear to be going against what your rational mind is advising. A sense of experiencing two realities at once, this card insists you don’t ignore or attempt to suppress these mixed feelings. Your gut feeling was right - accepting your dual nature will bring wholeness.
The Werewolf, in this instance, symbolizes this dual aspect: a man transforming under the light of the moon into a wild and primal creature. Underneath the full moon, the werewolf growls, showcasing its raw and primal instinct, a symbol of uncontrolled power that lies within us, waiting to be unleashed. Yet, the ripped clothing he wears reminds us of the complex, civilized human he once was. Like the werewolf, you too have these co-existing natures within you. The card reminds us that these two sides, however contradictory they seem, are necessary and complementary elements of your nature.
This acceptance can manifest in multiple areas of your life. In relationships, your desire to connect with others is exemplified by your human side while your desire for independence and freedom is the howl of the werewolf. Professionally, your human side looks for routines and predictability, while your wild side craves novelty and excitement. Acknowledging these opposing forces will aid in bringing balance and satisfaction to these aspects of life.
The image of the Full Moon and the ruins of old buildings illustrate the influence of the unconscious - the primal forces within us that grow fiercer in response to life's challenges. Yet, these forces also hold great potential for personal growth and transformation. If we can accept and incorporate our primal selves, we can find a sense of wholeness and peace with our dual nature. A werewolf is neither entirely human nor entirely wild creature but a synthesis of both. It is this integration that allows for the harmony reflected in the card.
Listen to Your Instincts
Drawing the Werewolf opens your eyes to the existence of dual forces within you. It encourages you to listen to the stirrings of your gut, those human instincts that are often suppressed or ignored. Be open to the intuitive guidance that speaks from the shadows, not just the mind's ordered reasoning. Are you suppressing a part of yourself for fear it will not be accepted? Are you ignoring your instincts to fit in or comply to societal standards? The Werewolf card brings these questions to the surface, and pushes you to find balance in your dueling natures.
What the Werewolf Means for You Today
Drawing the Werewolf signifies you are at a crossroad in your life where you need to understand your true essence that includes the logical, reasonable human and the intuitive, instinctual beast. You will find the calm that comes from inner peace and harmony when you embrace both aspects of your nature. The werewolf’s growls are slowly calling you to face your primal fears. This is your innate way of signaling to you that in order to reach fulfillment and wholeness in life, you need to embrace your dual nature. Your raw instincts and polished intellect are both tools for your journey, so listen to them closely. Remember the werewolf, for he has found peace in his duality, and so too can you.
