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:

Smaller drums now available! I just listed these two horse hide hoop drums, one eight inch and one ten inch, on Etsy. If you’re looking for a more affordable option without sacrificing good sound, these may be just want you need. Take a listen to these exact drums here, and find out more about the eight inch drum and the ten inch drum on my Etsy shop!

Hey, folks. Ironically enough, when I was posting these to Etsy last night, I was dealing with my inner ear being clogged up with water from swimming a few days ago, and had to go to an urgent care clinic today to get it dealt with because it was threatening to turn into an infection (I’m still 700 miles from home, and I have no health insurance—whee, self employment!).

Anyway, I just got back to our host’s place, and the appointment and treatment to remove the water and prevent infection was an unexpected significant travel cost since I had to pay it all on the spot; we’re not in dire danger of being stranded by any means, but if you want to help make today better for me, please consider reblogging this post or my Etsy shop’s link to let folks know I have awesome stuff made of dead stuff for sale.

(And, you know, I just wanted to make a joke about a pair of ear DRUMS! Ha ha! ;)
