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:

The Death Coach

In Irish Folklore the Death Coach is known as Cóiste Bodhar (Koe-shta-bower), meaning death or silent coach and if you see or even hear it then either you or a close relative will die in the very near future. The belief is that once the coach has…

This shit NEEDS to be stopped. I am sorry, E L James has fucking inspired the worst SHIT in the history of the universe. I took these pictures myself today and these were not in the sexy adult section they were in the section with the normal costumes and shit, where teens and kids would get costumes. 
E L James already is promoting dangerous sex practices with her books under the guise of it being BDSM and it’s nowhere near that. If that wasn’t bad enough she’s promoting a very VERY abusive relationship as ROMANTIC and even worse? She is BANKING off of basically selling people Twilight for a second time. 
I could forget the last two things if I didn’t constantly hear 16-19 year old girls crying about how they will never find their sexually sadistic and incredibly abusive boyfriend Christian Grey because PERFECT MEN like that DON’T EXIST. Yeah they do they are in FUCKING JAIL you STUPID FAN GIRLS!
You don’t want a Christian Grey. He didn’t care about Ana he cared about HURTING someone and I mean ANYONE to get off. He’s an abusive, sadistic, psychopathic, asshole. And seeing stuff like this makes me want to puke. E L James knows NOTHING about BDSM not one THING and I am not the only one who knows this. Ask professional Dom/Dommes or subs they will tell you the same GOD DAMN THING. 
I had half a mind to start screaming about this in the store and making them move the display somewhere else. Ask someone in the BDSM lifestyle and who had to go through training to get where she was and learn safety and rules and first aid JUST IN CASE bad shit happened (And bad shit DID happen I saw it happen) what she is doing is VERY dangerous. People are looking at it like a HOW TO book and a HUGE audience for it is stupid teenage girls who think Christian Grey is some sort of romantic hero. 
PLEASE speak up about this shit! I am not a prude I am someone who doesn’t want to watch her world taken over by bimbo fan girls who equate romance to getting beaten and tortured to shit because some guy they think is hot wants to do it to them. Just DO SOMETHING! 

No fact checking necessary.

hellbound witch: Pagan Books, Reviewers, and Links Wanted! →

Hey, folks, I need book reviewers!

So Pagan Book Reviews is now a .net instead of a .com because in the craziness of grad school and the aftermath I accidentally let the domain name expire and some squatter nabbed it and wants too much money for it. So I figured if .net is…

Lazy Pagan: Things to do with blank runes. →

hellboundwitch:

babascupboard:

So…if we’re being historically accurate, there isn’t a blank rune. Furthermore, every message it has can be found on another rune, so you don’t really need it. But most rune sets have them, so I thought maybe we should come up with a list of things to do…

You can make a bindrune, too, with the blank!

Snow falls in South Africa, Tuesday August 7, 2012

The South African Weather Services (SAWS) confirmed snow had fallen across Vereeniging, Pretoria and Johannesburg.


“It’s difficult to gauge how much snow has fallen as we don’t really measure snowfall in South Africa, but it’s more than we have had since 2008,” Venetia Phakula, forecaster at the South African Weather Service, told the Mail & Guardian.


Snow is a rare occurrence in Gauteng, with snowfall having been experienced in May 1956, August 1962, June 1964, September 1981 and on June 27 2007.


September 1981 has the greatest snowfall on record, with statistics showing snowfall accumulating up to 10 centimetres across the province.

I just uploaded some (mostly vintage/reclaimed) fur and leather pouches to my Etsy shop! The above pics are just a sample; there are more than these. There’s some rabbit fur drawstring pouches, a leather necklace pouch with raccoon fur, a leather and fox face bag—and two pouches (one small, one large) made from vintage Asian leopard cat fur from a coat, very rare! Head over here to check them out!

I’m just screaming right now.  BRING THEM ALL TO ME.

Two of ‘em have already sold since I posted this earlier today. so act fast :D

I already got mine!  It’s probably only polite to leave some behind for everyone else..

(Oh, who am I kidding.  If I had the money, they’d all be mine, bwahahahhaaaaa)

*snerk* Sharing is fun, though! ;)

And thank you for the purchase! Just shipped stuff last night at the 24/7 postal kiosk (love that thing!) so your pouch should arrive sometime this coming week!
