Rihn

The Wolf, The Gardener

Deity of Animals, Deity of Gardens, Deity of Wild Men

Rihn represents the law of nature, and the balance between that which grows wild, and that which is tended and controlled. The Wolf is revered and feared, for just as a mount may carry you, and a pet may love you; the horse can throw you, and the dog can bite you. Rihn is often acknowledged in daily life by those who choose not to give thanks or openly worship as others do. Reverence can often be measured by actions, not words. A clipped and lush garden is an example of devotion, as are men who live with wolves and are not devoured.
