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

immachdracht: swanblood: marfmellow: via randomlancila this answer is everything, I find myself so disgusted everytime I turn on the television or find myself among people who know nothing about body acceptance or just people who don’t give a fuck about themselves (read: majority of people).  so much disordered thinking out there perpetuated by society and the media and then people come and ask me how I’m so confident and I mean I get it, you want to know how in the midst of all this bullshit I can still believe that I’m the shit and I’m worthy of everything. It just sucks though.  “I don’t spend much time in the real world. When I do, I realize why I left.” yes this I’ve heard people say that places like Tumblr are a bubble and they make people unfit to survive in the “real world”. I think instead they are inspiration to help us realize that the “real world” is not what it could be. And I don’t mean things that are fantasy. I mean things that we can change. Because, changing society just takes one person at a time. Pretty much this, I stay out of the loop in order to preserve my sanity, lol.  I feel it’s important to keep tabs on what’s going on, though. We can’t play ostrich and be unaffected forever. Taking media breaks and having personal safe space is good, but you have to pay some attention to the shallowness and the crap in order to be aware of the context in which the things you do pay attention to occur.

“I don’t spend much time in the real world. When I do, I realize why I left.”

yes this

I’ve heard people say that places like Tumblr are a bubble and they make people unfit to survive in the “real world”. I think instead they are inspiration to help us realize that the “real world” is not what it could be.

And I don’t mean things that are fantasy. I mean things that we can change. Because, changing society just takes one person at a time.
