"My wolf is not directly linked to the story of Red Riding Hood, but connects to the idea of young girls coming of age and obtaining a totem animal as a spirit guide.     I imagine the original story of Little red riding Hood is probably linked to ancient stories of wolf spirits and as is the case in many 'primitive' societies, predator animals were revered for the prowess, intelligence and for keeping a balance in the world of prey and predator. Native people in America rarely hunted their predators, but only game. Once the Brother's Grimm got to the story it had altered and changed by a society who had moved to farming and who had almost exterminated the wolf in Europe -certainly in Germany,where we no longer have wolves or bears. I am German, but have lived in the US for 15 years. I grew up with the fairy tales of the Brothers' Grimm and am now immersed in shamanic studies.Anne Siems
