The First Tree

The First Tree is the most sacred and ancient tree in the wolves' forest, believed to be the first living thing to rise from the earth. It stands as a symbol of life, wisdom, and the deep connection between the wolves, the forest, and the cosmos. The First Tree is central to many of the wolves' spiritual ceremonies, including the annual Night of the Starweave.

This tree is said to have roots that stretch to the core of the earth, nourishing the land and all its creatures, while its branches reach high into the heavens, connecting the forest to the stars. Its towering presence is awe-inspiring, with an ancient trunk marked by the passage of time, embodying the strength and resilience of the earth itself. The wolves believe that the First Tree allows them to read the night sky and find harmony with the cosmos, serving as a bridge between their world and that of their ancestors.

The Night of the Starweave, a sacred ceremony held each year on Halloween under the full Hunter’s Moon, takes place around this tree. During this ritual, the wolves honor the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, acknowledging the completion of one year’s journey and the beginning of another. They offer tokens representing their trials and triumphs from the past year at the base of the tree. This ceremony strengthens their bond with their ancestors, the land, and the stars above.
