Another story traceable to wolf-clan traditions was "Little Red Riding Hood." The tale includes all the details of the myth: the red garment, the offering of food to a "grandmother" in the deep woods, a grandmother who wore a wolf skin, and the cannibalistic motif of devouring and resurrection.
The story's original victim would not have been the red-clad Virgin but the hunter, as Lord of the Hunt.
Like Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood is part of the Goddess trinity, wearing the same red garment that Kali and prophetizing the red moon of a lunar eclipse as a bad omen. Romanian churchmen declared that the eclipsed moon was reddened by her own blood, shed when her wolves attacked her, to "make men repent and turn from evil."
