Where I now live, there are coyotes all around. I’ve encountered a young, curious one in a park while walking my Alaskan Malamutes. I can often hear them singing to each other during the night, and occasionally I will see one on the road nearby that separates the residential area and the farmlands that lead up to the mountains. I feel connected to them when I see or hear them, as if they are guiding and affirming the changes and transformations in my own life.
Coyotes are a skillful, intelligent, and resourceful canine (Canis latrans), and with their playful and seemingly fearless behaviors they symbolize youth and trickster energy.
In Native American cultures, the coyote is seen as a shapeshifter, reminding us to be adaptable to change and that by removing our masks/personas we find our True Self. They are also seen as a transformer, bringing both endings and new life, including singing humans into being. Listen to coyote:
The Coyote Symbolizes:
- Transformation, Change, Death & Rebirth
- Shapeshifting
- Playfulness, Stealth, & Trickster Energy
- Intelligence & Resourcefulness

What a coincidence to receive this in my mail box… while hiking along Mount Scio just yesterday I came upon a lady who put me in mind of you. She was just starting in on the trail with her German Shepherd dog. Regards, JY
PS: Coyotes came to our Island on the ice a few years ago and are growing in number.
Thanks for thinking of me, Jason! I hope you had a beautiful hike!
