Thanks everyone.
@ Lyle

I won't worry about the silver bullets.
@ O. I like your bowl.
@ Rod and PM..My grandmother on my mom's side was adopted as a baby. We do not know her ethnic background. She had darker skin and hair than the rest of us but then the irish on my grandpa's (mom's dad) and my dad's side shows up. Other than that I am just a european type white girl.
Even as a child I have always dreamed and it seems I am able to 'know' or communicate with my animals on a level unlike the rest of my family except one niece.

The willow in celtic lore means healing, love, and protection. The wolf from what I have read so far is a teacher along with what you said Rod. Both the wolf and willow are ruled by the moon.
