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:

unknownbinaries: mls-classics: sweetguts: look this is a bird wing this is what a wing looks like not this it’s got LAYERS and a SPECIFIC SHAPE designed for flight they aren’t just two bones with feathers arbitrarily hanging off them!!! DAT SHIT NEEDS STRUCTURE I seriously have about 6 different wing refs in my bookmarks, because this. And constant worry of “oh my god, wings drawn without a ref look so terrible, it’s not even gunny funny”.(I can type, I /swear/.) Okay, now I feel like a bad and naughty artist because I often forget the scapulars, and that the primary and secondary coverts form rows.
