Lupus erthematous is an autoimmune disease named after the wolf because of the malar rash, that some patients get, this rash resemble the mask like face of a wolf. I am afraid of the wolf. We  have all this history where the wolf is a pagan symbol, where it evokes the idea of the devil and evil, such as the werewolf. That savageness is seen as destructive. I have never embraced the wolf.







But then, the wolf, to some people, is primordial, instinctual. If you are pro-wolf, the image of the wolf is positive in that if you listen to your instinct it will guide you in the right direction.

These pages depict my journey to understand the wolf which the disease is named for. Hopefully, I will learn to walk with the wolf without fear and be led in the right direction.

These pages are for all that come peacefully to the pack. And these pages are for me, so I can learn.

Walk with me my friend, let us embrace the wolf together.
