Quae Carcajou**


"Why is the Moon so lonely?
Because She had a lover.
And every night, He looks up in the sky
And sees the Moon and howls Her name.
But, He can never touch Her again."

Why is the Moon so lonely?

Because She had a lover.

His name was Quae Carcajou and they lived in a spirit world together.

And every night they would wander the skies together.

But one of the Spirits was jealous. Trickster wanted the Moon for himself.

So he told Quae Carcajou that the Moon had asked for flowers. He told him to come to our world and pick her some wild roses.

But Quae Carcajou didn’t know that once you leave the spirit world, you can never come back.

And every night, He looks up in the sky and sees the Moon and howls Her name.

But, He can never touch Her again.

Quae Carcajou means the Wolverine.
