Hi, folks!

I'm still plugging along on the manuscript for Vulture Culture 101. I'm well over 40,000 words now, and I've managed to incorporate a lot of suggestions you all have given me on what you'd like to see in the book. I still have some sections to add in, and I'll be incorporating some photos as well so I need to work on planning those shots.

There WILL be an IndieGoGo campaign early in 2018! This will give you the opportunity to pre-order the book for less than its retail price, as well as getting some neat Vulture Culture-related perks. And, of course, it will help me fund the printing of the book, as well as paying for other incidental costs.

One of those costs will be paying guest essayists. Once the campaign is done I will be putting out a call for writers to create tutorials (photos included) of some basic processes like tanning and bone cleaning. Since these are not central to my work--I'm an artist working with already preserved specimens--I want to include techniques employed by people who do tanning, bone cleaning, etc. on a regular basis so that readers can learn how, too! I'm still figuring out what I want included and what to put in the call for writers, but look for that in the first part of 2018 as well.

I'm hoping, if all goes well, to have the book out in the world sometime in Summer of 2018. Again, this is going to be a self-published project, so while it means that I get primary creative control, I also am doing most of the work. By backing the IndieGoGo campaign once it's live, you'll be helping me bring this important resource into full manifestation.

By the way, if you want to get in on WIP excerpts off the manuscript-in-progress, be my patron on Patreon! For just $1/month you get access to my Patron only feed with lots of exclusive content. And there are plenty of other Patronage levels, too, all of which get you on that feed along with other great perks. You can join the fun at http://www.patreon.com/lupagreenwolf :)

Hey, I’ve updated the Animal Parts Laws database again at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/animal-parts-laws/ ! There are new updates to the US Ivory Ban and Migratory Bird Treaty Act sections, as well as minor changes to state law information in North Carolina and Washington state.

And yes, I DO have non-U.S. international laws listed there, too :)

I have been doing some cleaning and culling in my studio in preparation for relocating my supplies, and I just did a big destash!

I've written a clarification on my post from yesterday, specifically addressing my frustration with the prayers, spells and the like: http://www.thegreenwolf.com/a-clari.....-my-last-post/

I am deeply grieving the Columbia River Gorge which is burning up as we speak, and at the same time I want to share concrete things you can do to both help now and prevent wildfires in the future. Read more at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/fight-f.....s-and-rituals/

It's that time of year again--chain stores everywhere are flooded with cheap, mass-produced Halloween decorations, clothing and more. But what is the actual cost of these items, both in terms of human rights and the environment, and how can we celebrate with better alternatives? Read on at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/leave-t.....-store-please/

Hi, folks! Sorry for the radio silence; my head hasn’t been in pagan space much lately so I’ve been dealing with a bit of writer’s block in that direction. I’m starting to come out of it a bit, though, and I have a few ideas, this being the first one.

Most essential reading lists for pagans tend to be pagan-specific books, or books that deal with related topics like the history of pre-Christian religions or herbalism. My list is perhaps a little more removed from blatant paganism than that, and might be better terms “Lupa’s Essential Books For Nature-Based Pagans”. Moreover, it’s a list that will likely change over time. But they’re texts I think all pagans would benefit from reading for one reason or another.

Read the list at http://www.thegreenwolf.com/lupas-e.....ks-for-pagans/
