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

22nd July 2012

There. That’s a good day’s work. After having four of my handmade drums stolen last Thursday, I made five more. And since I sold a drum on my Etsy today, I now have the same number of drums I did prior to the theft. Better yet, my ex-husband has copies of some of my books in his own sale stock, and so I’ll be buying those from him so I’ll have some books for Faerie Worlds. And I’ve been busy making masks and ears, too, to make up for those taken last week. So while it’s a pain in the ass, and I’ve been having to take time to make up for the stolen items that I had originally slated for other projects, I’m far better off than I was three days ago. Thank you again to everyone who has been so kind in all this, offering me pictures of cute critters, and sympathy, and suggestions. No word yet on any leads, but I keep checking eBay, Craig’s List, and the other usual suspects.  ETA: If you’re wondering, the drums have low-residue tape around them to hold the edges flat while they dry. Still need to make beaters for them.
