Why wolves?
From the "Big Bad Wolf" of fairytales such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs to Fenrir, the fearsome wolf of Norse mythology, and the direwolves of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series, wolves have been woven into the fabric of storytelling across cultures. Tales of shapeshifting werewolves further enrich this tradition by delving into the conversation of man's duplicitous nature.
Beyond their literary and mythical roles, wolves are revered in many Native American traditions as sacred animals, embodying wisdom, resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world. They have inspired awe and admiration for thousands of years, leaving an enduring mark on human imagination.
However, the real-world plight of wolves is far less enchanting. North American wolf populations face severe challenges, including habitat loss and hunting. Now, more than ever, it is time for us to take action to protect these magnificent animals and ensure their survival for generations to come.
Old Soul Artisan donates $1 from every website order to a handful of organizations working to promote wolf conservation within the United States. Donations collected have been distributed to these organizations:
Wolf Conservation Center (S. Salem, NY)
Lakota Wolf Preserve (Columbia, NJ)
Wolf Sanctuary of PA (Lititz, PA)
Howling Woods Farm (Jackson, NJ)
Wolves of the Rockies(Stevensville, MT)
Wolf Connection (Palmdale, CA)
To learn more about wolves and wolf conservation please visit the websites of these donation partners. These organizations were selected based on their excellent work in educating the public about wolves and their conservation efforts. I've personally visited several of these organizations and have seen first hand the incredible work they do.
