Topic: Naturalist

Naturalist and neo-pagan author Lupa Greenwolf joins the program to discuss the intersection of magic and the animal kingdom. The conversation introduces her background as a ritual toolmaking artist and the creator of The Tarot of Bones. The discussion aims to explore how indigenous and pagan traditions maintain connections to nature that modern Western society has largely abandoned.

Lupa Greenwolf describes her spiritual trajectory starting with 1990s Wicca and the works of Scott Cunningham before moving into chaos magic and neo-shamanism. She eventually stripped away formal dogma to focus on a naturalist pagan approach rooted in physical ecosystems rather than abstract symbolism. She defines totems as archetypal beings representing entire species and clarifies that her practice exists within the terrain of consciousness rather than the supernatural.
