The Green Wolf


Be aware that this Tumblr frequently includes pictures of art made with animal remains, as well as rampant feminist opinions, corgis and bats, and lush landscapes.

Artist, author, (neo)shaman, and wannabe polymath living in the Pacific Northwe(s)t.

I discovered neopaganism in the mid-1990s, and shortly thereafter began my work with animal totems and neoshamanism. Over the years I've wandered through various paths, ranging from Wicca-flavored neopaganism to Chaos magic, but for the past few years I've been creating Therioshamanism, a post-industrial neo-shamanic path. I've also been creating various neopagan ritual tools and other sacred art from hides, bones, beads and other such things since about the same time. And I've written several nonfiction books on totemism, animal magic, Otherkin, and related topics.

A few places to find me, as I'm all over the internet:

US-Relevant Animal Parts Laws →

haloquin:

I’m curious about the laws on possession of animal parts in Britain… does anyone know? I hear about everything from bird feathers up being illegal in the states but I’ve not come across any over here. I have done a bit of searching but tend to come up lost!

thegreenwolf:

Hey, taxidermy and dead-critter fans in the US (or who ship to the US)—I put together this collection of links to relevant laws to international, federal, and state laws that affect the possession and/or sales of animal parts in the US. It’s NOT intended as legal advice as I am not a legal professional, but I do offer it as a starting point (when in doubt about the legality of something, check with your state fish and wildlife department). Here it is: http://www.thegreenwolf.com/partslaws.html

I haven’t perused it in any detail, but apparently the Wildlife and Countryside Act is the main thing to be familiar with. It’s located at http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-1377

    Good point, that hadn’t occurred to me as I never mail stuff to people, especially not to the US as it can be quite...
