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, and related topics. Currently working on "New Paths to Plant and Fungus Totems".

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

Ask me anything

23rd March 2012

sabbyvalo: <3 Really? I don’t find existence to be horrible. I find it to be a rare opportunity to be alive and aware. Even at my darkest moments I’ve been grateful for each day. My little zygote was the one that managed to make it all the way through nine months of gestation. If art has done anything, it’s enhanced my wonder about existence. I can look at the blade of grass that I share space with, and be amazed at photosynthesis. I have aesthetic appreciation for the basic facts of life. And while I mourn for the abuses of the world—toward humans, toward other animals, plants, landscapes—I don’t see existence as intrinsically abusive.
