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".

I spent the weekend at SteamCon in Seattle; while I was there, I took out some Introvert Care Time to paint a couple of drums. In these photos the painting’s done but hasn’t yet been sealed, and I haven’t added any of the other decorations.

I’ll be debuting them and a whole bunch of other new artwork (including more ritual tools and some new dead-critter costumery) at OryCon in Portland this coming weekend! So if you want to get the first look at the new goodies, come find my booth in the vendor’s area at the convention :)

Oh, and yes, that first drum IS a recreation of one of the ones that got stolen back in July. I finally got over the grief from that loss enough to give it another try!
