It's almost time for my spring sabbatical! My shops will be closed from March 29 to about April 21 or 22. If you want to get orders in before I close them down, you'll need to do so by 9pm PST this Friday, March 28. Here are the relevant links:

http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com - Vulture culture art and supplies, stickers and illustrations and other art, Pagan and Vulture Culture nonfic books I've written plus the Tarot of Bones deck and Pocket Osteomancy sets.

http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com - Includes some Vulture culture items not available on Etsy.

https://www.ebay.com/str/thegreenwolfportland - LOTS of original finish Breyer, Hartland and other model horses and other animals, plus my customized models - if the link doesn't work for you, start typing "The Green Wolf Portland" in any eBay search bar and it should pop up in the dropdown menu below.

Just popped open another box of the Tarot of Bones decks to fulfill a few orders! I'm down to just my last few hundred decks from the original print run, and I'm not likely to produce a second run, so when these are gone, that's it.

You can find Tarot of Bones decks, books, readings, and original art used to create the deck at https://www.etsy.com/shop/thegreenw.....ch_query=tarot

Just your periodic reminder that I've written a whole slew of books on nature-based Paganism and Vulture Culture, plus I created the Tarot of Bones deck! I have plenty of everything in stock; you can find them all at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/books (drop me a line at lupa(dot)greenwolf(at)gmail(dot)com if you have any issues ordering.) Thank you!

It's that time of year again! I am taking a couple of weeks off later in October and November, and to help keep my decks cleared I'll be shutting down my Etsy, eBay, and Storenvy shops late next week. That means now's a great time to grab that piece of artwork or book you've had your eye on:

http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com - My Etsy shop has the bulk of my work, but...

http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com - my Storenvy has some Vulture Culture items not found on Etsy, and....

http://www.ebay.com/str/The-Green-Wolf-Portland - my eBay shop has a LOT of Breyer/hartland/etc,. models, both OF and custom

Thank you!

I spent more time this weekend culling more bones, leather, feathers and other Vulture Culture/art supplies from my stash. You can find most of it over at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com but there are some non-Etsy specials over at htp://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com

Hi, all! It's coming up on my fall sabbatical, and I'll be closing down my shops for a few weeks next week, including my Etsy, eBay, and Storenvy shops. So if you want to order any of my Pagan/Vulture Culture books, hide and bone art, stickers, customized and original finish models, and other offerings, get your orders in now or you'll have to wait til mid-November! My various shop links can be found at https://thegreenwolf.com/links/

Hey, folks! I am putting my shops into vacation mode at the end of this week, and won’t be reopening til mid-April because I’m taking some much-needed time off. So if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, now’s the chance to jump on it! Here are the shop links:

http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com - Vulture Culture art and supplies, customized Breyer and other models

https://www.ebay.com/str/thegreenwolfportland - mostly original finish and customized Breyer models, a few other brands like Hartland and Marx and a few other odd and ends - the direct link on this one doesn’t always work, but if you start typing “the Green Wolf” into the search bar on eBay, a link to the store should show up before you finish typing.

http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com - more Vulture Culture stuff, including things not found on Etsy

So I still have a bunch of assemblage pieces, mostly some of the original Tarot of Bones art along with a few other odds and ends. I could really use the space here in the studio, so make me an offer! You can see everything that’s currently available at https://www.etsy.com/shop/thegreenw.....ion_id=6708168 - keep in mind that current prices include shipping, but again, I am open to offers for single or multiple pieces, and payment plans are available. Drop me a line at lupa(dot)greenwolf(at)gmail(dot)com :)

I’m still digging through what’s left of my stash of hides, bones, and other dead things and slowly getting them listed online. I’ve got some bones, vintage mink hides, and other crafty things at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com and a few new listings with wolf and black bear fur at http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com .

I finally got the last of my FaerieWorlds booth merch up at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com - you can skip right to the destash by going to the Supplies/Vintage section, or just browse through everything I have right now. You’ll also want to check out http://thegreenwolf.storenvy.com for items that AREN’T on Etsy!

Also, I am going to be putting the shop into vacation mode in a little over a week as I head out of town on a trip, so if there’s something you want now’s the time to get it!

It's that time of year again! While you can get a twelve-month Tarot of Bones reading from me anytime, the New Year is definitely the most popular, and each year I get more and more requests. Because these take a LOT of mental energy as well as time, and because I am extra busy with new creative endeavors this year, please understand that your reading may not be done on January 1st itself, but any not done on that day will be done as close to it as possible (more likely before rather than after.) If you ABSOLUTELY MUST have your reading on Jan. 1, please let me know when you place your order; otherwise I'll assume you're allowing me a little flexibility.

You can order your twelve-month Tarot of Bones reading here: https://thetarotofbones.com/product.....month-reading/

Hey, who needs books? I just got home from the post office with a box full of 'em! I have all my titles on nature-based paganism, Vulture Culture, and more available at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/books

Prefer pixels to paperbacks? Ebooks of all titles are available as well at the above link :)

I just finished listing a huge batch of Breyers and other model horses to my eBay store! Mostly vintage, but a few newer molds as well. They're all at https://www.ebay.com/str/thegreenwolfportland ! All I have is what's there in the shop; if the listing is still live, it's still available.


If you find something you want, you can buy it on eBay, or feel free to message me to buy directly. I can combine shipping on multiple lots/items, just message me!

I am officially opening up for offers for the cave painting models! I am ONLY accepting offers for the entire set of six, NOT individual models. If I do not receive a satisfactory offer, I will be listing these individually at amounts of my choosing. Offers MUST BE EMAILED to lupa.greenwolf[at]gmail.com by Tuesday, September 7, 9pm PST.

I’ve had a few people contact me asking for a starting point, so let’s say offers need to be more than $1500.

A few important things of note:

--There are LOTS of pictures and other details about these customized models at http://thegreenwolf.com/cave-painting-models/- if you need more information, email me at the address above. I will ALSO update the current highest offer on that page on a daily basis.
--I will be creating a contract with whoever gives me the best offer. Said person will be required to complete the contract before models are shipped.
--Offers do NOT include shipping costs. I will be shipping these models in multiple boxes due to their size and fragility. International shipping is available; be aware of the higher chance of damage en route. Packages will be insured.
--Paid-in-full is preferred to payment plans. I may accept a lower offer that is PIF if the higher one requires payments. NO TRADES.
--These are being sold primarily as art pieces; for model hobbyists, I do NOT guarantee LSQ; as these are handmade works of art, they may have minor flaws like irregularities in paint or plastic/putty. Also, as the cave paintings are particularly delicate, it may not be a good idea to be carting these around to events; they are intended to be art enjoyed in situ.
--Due to the amount of hairing on these models, a small amount of shedding is to be expected. Also be aware that these are NOT meant to be handled on a regular basis.
--I am available for repairs for the life of these models; just contact me!

Any questions? Want to make an offer? Contact me at lupa.greenwolf[at]gmail.com

While most of my Pocket Osteomancy bone divination sets come with a mixed bag of species when it comes to bones, I also put together custom sets. And by far the most popular request is red fox bones! So I have a LIMITED number of red fox bone sets, with or without the Pocket Osteomancy book:

For the set with the casting cloth, red fox bones, and Pocket Osteomancy book, go to https://www.etsy.com/listing/104403.....t-osteomancy-a

For the set with the casting cloth, red fox bones, but NO BOOK, go to https://www.etsy.com/listing/103007.....t-osteomancy-a

Reblogs appreciated, and thank you :)

I'm pleased to announce that the new, updated and annotated edition of Nature Spirituality From the Ground Up is now available as a paperback and ebook at https://thegreenwolf.com/books/natu.....he-ground-up/! Originally published in 2016 by Llewellyn, it went out of print earlier this year and I received the rights back. So I made a new, self-published edition with some updates and notes in the footnotes. I also removed the word "totem" from the text and swapped in more culturally neutral terms like "nature spirits" and "animism".

Working with nature spirits isn’t just about what we can get from them; it’s a reciprocal relationship that requires us to know the land itself. In this book I show you ways to create new connections with the nature around you, identify nature spirits who may facilitate that growth, and use rituals and other practices to deepen these bonds. Most importantly, you’ll learn ways to give back to the land and the spirits with offerings that make a real difference.

Enter into an animistic ecosystem populated not just with the spirits of animals, plants, and fungi, but landforms, celestial bodies, and natural forces. Deepen your spiritual connection to the earth, and rejoin the community of nature! The table of contents offers more about what’s in this book:

Introduction

Chapter 1: The Importance of Reconnecting With Nature
Chapter 2: The Basics of Bioregionalism

Chapter 3: Introducing the Spirits Themselves

Chapter 4: The Animistic Ecosystem

Chapter 5: Practices For the Spirits and Yourself

Chapter 6: Animism Every Day

Conclusion: Wonder and Awe at the World

Appendix A: Recommended Reading

Appendix B: Beneficial Nonprofit Organizations

Appendix C: Helpful Hints For Animistic Research

Appendix D: A Quick Guide to Guided Meditation

Just got a new shipment of my books in, including a nice big pile of Vulture Culture 101: A Book For People Who Like Dead Things! And I still have a few VC101 stickers left, too. You can get this and my other books at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/books :)

If you’ve been paying attention to my social media or my shop links at all, you may have noticed that I haven’t really been posting much in the way of new hide and bone art for the past year or so. It’s not that I’ve stopped; I still make some fun things for my Patrons on Patreon every month, and I make some bone, tooth and claw jewelry on Etsy to order. But ever since events dried up, I haven’t been regularly making new batches of costume pieces or other Vulture Culture art. My usual M.O. was to make all sorts of new things for an upcoming event, and then once the weekend was done and I was home, post whatever hadn’t sold on Etsy. And since there haven’t been events…well…I’ve just found myself doing other things.

Some of that is because I’ve had to scramble to make up for the lost income; events were a pretty big chunk of my “pay”, and losing them meant having to tighten the belt. I also lost several other income streams thanks to the pandemic making it unsafe to be around groups of people, which didn’t help. So I had to rely on what was left, along with adopting a few new sources of bits and bobs of cash here and there.

And, honestly, I’ve needed a bit of a break. I’ve been making hide and bone art for over two decades now, and while I love it, any artist eventually wants to explore different media for a while. Sure, I’ve stretched my Vulture wings in new directions, going from costume pieces and ritual tools to assemblages and the Tarot of Bones. But ever since the Tarot came out, I’ve been feeling….not really burned out, but a little creatively wrung out, at least. I’ve really appreciated my Patrons and Etsy customers who have helped me keep a hand in that particular medium, while also allowing me to head off in other directions, too.

Which is to say that if you have been paying attention to the aforementioned social media and shops, you may have also noticed that I’ve been increasing the number of customized Breyer model horses and other animals I’ve made over the past couple of years. This might seem like a heck of a departure from skulls, bones, and other dead things. But in a way it’s really me getting back to long-neglected roots.

So, really cool thing--I am a panelist in the Magic and Ecology symposium and art exhibition being held by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities at the University of Cambridge! The panel, “Anthropocene Magic”, will be this Friday, January 15, at 6pm GMT/10am PST and my co-panelist will be Dr. Richard Irvine.

Meanwhile, I recorded a talk to whet your appetite on how the resurgence in magic is linked to ecopsychology and the reimagining of the Western relationship to nature. I am NOT an academic, so my talk is pretty accessible to folks from various backgrounds. My talk is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bQS-xOSUIk - you can also see Dr. Irvine’s pre-recorded talk, among many others, at CRASSH’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/crasshpublicity

And of course register for free for our panel at http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/29534

Twelve-month readings (with one card per month) are always available, but the New Year is especially popular for them! If you would like a 2021 reading to be done on Friday, January 1, now's the time to place your order. You can purchase your reading at https://thetarotofbones.com/product.....month-reading/

Each card will explore a theme for one month of the year, starting with January; in addition to these monthly themes, I will also provide an overview for the year as a whole. If there is a particular part of your life you'd like me to focus on I can do that; otherwise, we can just see what the cards think you should pay the most attention to.

I have been practicing divination of various forms since 1996, and have had many very happy customers! Your reading will be done with the Tarot of Bones, which I developed and produced myself, so it's a system I'm quite familiar with. Again, if you would like a twelve-month reading you can order it at https://thetarotofbones.com/product.....month-reading/

Thank you!

I finally listed all the destashed bones, hides and other bits and bobs that I culled from my art supplies during my move a couple of months ago. It’s all at http://thegreenwolf.etsy.com

Hey, everyone! My book Plant and Fungus Totems, originally published via Llewellyn, went out of print earlier this year. I've since updated and annotated it and released a new edition as Plant and Fungus Spirits. In addition to adding bits of new information or making other small changes, I've also removed the term "totem" other than where it refers to certain indigenous beliefs and practices. This is keeping in line with my other older books that I've re-released as self-published editions.

Sometimes the best teachers are those we often overlook! Explore the world of plant spirits, green beings who thrive on sunlight. Delve into the depths of fungus spirits, permeating the very soil beneath our feet. This book offers three unique approaches to working with these spirits:

*The Bioregional Model invites you to deepen your relationship to the physical land around you through the spirits that live there.
*The Correspondences Model combines the symbols of your path into your work with nature spirits.
*The Archetypal Model allows your spirit guides to help you through the intricacies of your inner self so you can know yourself better.

Whether you choose one of these models, or a combination, Plant and Fungus Spirits offers you meditations, examples and other tools to invite these spirits into your life. An excellent book for the beginner and the experienced practitioner alike!

You can purchase Plant and Fungus Spirits as a paperback or ebook at https://thegreenwolf.com/books/plan.....fungus-totems/
