Question

For the howl, do I have to cup my hands around my mouth to make a better sound, or can I leave my hands by my sides?

Community Answer

Cupping your hands around your mouth helps to form the muzzle that real wolves have. It will make the sound deeper and louder, as well as carry it farther.

Question

Why would humans want to howl? Is there a reason?

Community Answer

It depends on what age you are. If you're a kid, maybe you would want to howl for a game or just for fun. If you're an adult, maybe it's like a primal scream to get back to your ancestral roots of being in the wilds or maybe it's to communicate with wolves while out in the woods. The diversity of benign human interests is to be celebrated.

Question

Would this be a good idea to do when I'm trying to connect with my spirit animal (a wolf)?

Community Answer

Yes, it is. For best results, make sure to drink a lot of water to keep your voice clear and your throat hydrated.

Question

How far would the sound carry?

Community Answer

It depends on where you are. If you are in a forest, it might not carry as far as if you were on a cliff.

Question

Can howls be translated into human speech? (Ex. A certain type of howl equals "hello"?)

Community Answer

Wolves typically use howls to warn other packs away and demarcate their territory and to relocate members of their own pack. In that sense, wolf howls have a purpose, but they can't be "translated" the way a human language might. The kind of casual communication between wolves that you seem to be getting at with your example would most likely happen through body language, anyway.

How do I make it sound more wolf like?

Listen to wolf howls, and do it with a friend so they can tell you how close you are.

Question

When I am trying to connect to my inner wolf/spirit animal, should I do this often? I feel like I could be part animal, and I want to connect to that part. Is this the best way? If so, what should I do?

Alpine

Community Answer

It sounds like you are a therianthrope. Research therians, they are people who believe that they are part animal on a non-physical level.

Question

How do I cup my hands over my mouth?

Community Answer

Make a 'C' shape with both your hands so the top of the 'C' will touch your nose while the bottom touches your chin.

Question

If I howl and a pack of wolves come, would they be friendly to me or not?

Community Answer

Absolutely not. A wolf is not going to mistake you for another wolf, even if you're howling. If you see a wolf or wolves, back away slowly and try to make your way to safety. Don't run.

Question

How often should I howl? A wolf is my spirit animal/ gardian animal and I want to connect to it. Is howling the way to do it?

Community Answer

Howl as often and as much as you want. Howling is one way to connect to a guardian/spirit wolf, but you can also perhaps meditate or dream, to see if you can communicate with them, and run around on all-fours. Despite this, howling is probably the easiest and (second) most fun way to connect with your inner-wolf .

Question

How do I tell my parents that I'm a Therian in a way that they will understand?

Community Answer

Just sit them down and explain it the best way you can. Tell them what this identity means and how it applies to you specifically. Tell them how it makes you feel, and let them know what you need from them in terms of understanding and support.

Question

How do I howl like a wolf without people knowing?

Community Answer

Considering that howling is a loud activity, it's not really possible to do it around people and keep them from knowing. Look for somewhere you can do it where there are no people around, like a nearby forest.

Question

When I howl, do I need to sit like a wolf or just sit like a human? If like a wolf, how do I do that?

Karlee Ellis

Community Answer

You can sit or stand, it doesn't really matter. But standing would carry the sound of the howl a little farther. If you want to sit like a wolf, sit on your feet and put your hands down on the ground.

Question

Will wolves attack me if they come because I’m not a wolf?

Amy Houston

Community Answer

Yes, they would. They would think you are a threat to them because our ancestors hunted wolves.

Question

Is it possible to befriend a wolf?

PauzeTheSnowLeopard

Community Answer

Possibly but it's hard unless you find a proto-dog wolf that is interested in being friendly, and they're rare. Wolves, however cute they may be, or however patient, can be aggressive if you pose a threat and you're never to know how the wolf is going to perceive you. A wolf-dog, fine, but a regular wolf, you should be a wildlife expert, have something to defend yourself with if things go downhill, and some good cardio to escape up a tree.

Question

What do I do if I lose the ability to howl like a wolf?

Community Answer

Keep practicing! If you could learn to do it once, you can probably learn to do it again. It may be that your voice is changing a little bit; try howling in a lower tone than you did before.

Try looking up real wolf howls, and do your best to imitate it. If you want to make your howl louder, try using more of your breath.
