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:

Ask me anything

16th February 2012

what’s the deal with all the talk about pagan head-covering lately?

lindentea:

am I the only one uncomfortable with a bunch of white (neo) pagans who come from a moderate Protestant background doing this?

especially when those same white pagans cite “covering the crown chakra” as their reasoning for doing so?

and then make big image posts that mostly consist of Muslim and Jewish people as examples?

  13. environmint said: Is it a trend? I so far have only seen/reblogged one person make a post about headcovering but it was for Hestia and they only had a picture of them with wearing a veil and a Hestia statue. I don’t remember anything about the crown chakra
