Presentation :
Much of human suffering and crises in the physical, mental and spiritual realms are aspects of unbalance and repression of the Self. Depression, self-destructive behaviors, the devastation of our environment, excessive greed, poisoned food and water and an epidemic of modern mental and physical disorders all point to serious imbalance between humans and Gaia.
We have been cut off from nature and been programmed by patriarchal religions and cultures to believe that we are not the animals within Nature that we are. Through my work with Feral Magick as expressed in my last book, ​Werewolf Magick,​ I dove deep into prehistoric and authentic ​shamanic sources and realized that these problems began with a false separation of ‘humans’ from ‘animals.’ Pagan, Animist and other Earth-centered cultures see all humans and animals as ‘people,’ but the monothiestic religious belief that we have ‘divine dominion over all of nature’ has led us to the current ecological disaster as well as our own deep imbalance.
By remembering and invoking the ancient feral techniques of the ancient Shapeshifters and Shamans, ​we can call up our sleeping imprisoned Animalself​. The key is reactivating our deepest links with the primal ‘animal brain centers’ as well as our DNA where all ‘animal spirits’ genetically reside. Our genes are 98% the same as chimpanzees!
With these basic techniques we can each free our innate Animalself and thus reconnect with the ecosystem we exist in and thus with the heart of Gaia, as all other animals do.
Using the feral Wildness, Wyrd and Way we can regain our feral instincts, intuition and insight, the core of my work. For the last four years I have spent all my time on this great work, have rediscovered internal and external magickal techniques for unleashing, focusing and
utilizing the Animalself as a way to remove restrictions that allow us to open the way for truly uniting within Nature, the goal of every Pagan and Animist tradition.
