White wolf, lone hunter,

Stalking the night time stalker

To punish folly.

Awesome! I love that aspect of the lore that it hunts you if you hunt at night, makes it extra sinister🖤

I’m guessing there were also good reasons not to hunt at night for the Inuit…like maybe not being able to see weak ice or a drift that hid a cliff edge…😬

Oh for sure, a lot of folklore is cautionary. There are so many “don’t go out into x alone or y will eat you” stories for good reason.

Many fear amarok

Fangs on their throat, sharp enough

To pull souls from flesh

the cold flakes of snow

blow howling in her eyes

She howls with grief

Soft white warmth turned blood red cold

A debt will be paid

Alone Giant White Wolf “Amoroq”

No food to feed starving pups,

Returns to den, pups devoured.

But in lake reflection

Blood on mother’s lips

A while cloud free from snow melt drifts.
