Welcoming Pack Ceremony

When a new pack member is accepted into the pack they usually celebrate. Always under the full moon so the Moon Goddess may bless them and the new member. They howl together as a last initiation rite and to let other packs know they have a new member and it’s not a lone-wolf anymore.

Execution

First the new pack member must submit to the alpha pair. If they accept it they then asks for the Goddess blessings for their new member. Lastly the alpha pair starts a howl, the other members joins in after rank and lastly the new member to make it known another has joined the pack. The pack goes on a run together to ascertain the rank of the new wolf when it’s been introduced officially as ending point of the tradition.
