TITHE

Caroline Myss, a spiritual teacher and author, emphasizes the spiritual aspect of tithing in her teachings. According to Myss, tithing is not just about giving a portion of one’s income or resources; 

it’s about aligning oneself with the universal flow of abundance and recognizing the interconnectedness of all things. 

By practicing tithing, individuals acknowledge their gratitude for the blessings in their lives and open themselves to receiving more abundance. Myss suggests that tithing can be a powerful tool for spiritual growth and transformation, fostering a deeper sense of connection to the divine and to others.

We encourage tithing for individuals and groups who identify Black Wolf Society, it’s members and advocates as being of assistance and inspiration to them personally and/or within the community.
