Lonerwolf
Meaning Behind “Lonerwolf”
​
Playing on the phrase “lone wolf,” lonerwolf is a name that signifies the journey away from the pack, and the quest for truth, freedom, and wholeness.
The lone wolf was chosen as a symbol of strength, braveness, authenticity, and free thought. It represents the path least traveled.
Spiritually, the wolf signifies instinct, compassion, intelligence, courage, and freedom.
Psychologically, the lone wolf signifies what Joseph Campbell famously referred to as “the Hero’s Journey” which is where we leave the known world to voyage into the unknown realm.
This ‘call to adventure’ usually manifests in the form of a life crisis, spiritual awakening, or Dark Night of the Soul that we must carry out alone.​
