Spirit's Blood ;; This power can only be held by females (Normally), The tips of their fur become hollow. In order to house a strange substance, this substance glows when spirits are near by. The substance can be any color, and is considered by the tribe 'Spirit's Blood'. It holds the essence of demonic spirits, with this the user goes into a meditated state, where they are able to alter small things around them. While in this meditative state the user is very vulnerable and has very little to no control of the outcome of their practice. Most of the time they simply make the area around them or themselves a beacon for the dead, this opens up the very good possibility for the user to be harmed. The after effects of the ritual can be dangerous to the user too, perhaps life threatening if they state in their trance too long as it is very physically and mentally draining.

Customs;
-Before giving birth to a litter, the mother must go gather dirt that has or is housing the dead. Then she must lay the dirt on the floor of her den, symbolizing that even with new life Death is always near.
-Tribe members often wear the bones of the dead, be it other animals, or that of a dead family member. It is said that wearing the bones of a love one, is to bring peace. And honors the journey the deceased has embarked on, for Death isn't the end.
-After a loved one has died, the tribe will wait an entire year before holding a ceremony for them. The tribe believes that a certain part of the soul, which is part of the livings soul. Remains within the tribe, until a year has passed. Then they move on to be reborn, which is what the tribe celebrates after the year marker.
-The tribe believes the soul is built on two parts, there is the gros bon ange 'big good angel' which controls functions of the body. Such as breathing, while the ti bon ange 'little good angel' is the part that holds the personality. They believe that one doesn't need both to 'live', they believe that the ti bon ange is able to be stolen. Making the body nothing more than a worker, doing as it is told.

Celebrations
Hallows Eve/ New name probably to come;
Everyone of the tribe must wear the bones of an animal, the full skeleton/ or at least most of the skeleton. The bones are dipped in a liquid that is made from some of the plants near by, they should be soaked in the liquid for 24 hours. Now when the sun begins to go down, or one enters a dark cave the bones will begin to glow. The tribe has also learned to make paint from these plants, in many different colors.
The bones may be of any animal, even that of a wolf. But it must cover your entire body, for on this night you should never be seen as you. Else vengeful or angry spirits will bring you harm, or worse your loved ones. This is the night that Death allows his spirits to roam, and the tribe must participate.
Planning to fuse this old idea with another older idea of dream wolves. Going to be working out the details. Just notes to myself
