animal_quillsGreets, all :)
Very, very good idea for a community, I gotta say!
I'm a twenty-something wolf therian living in lovely Seattle, recently transplanted from Pittsburgh. I've been happily married to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
teriel for...wow...three months now. I'm a pagan and a practicing magician, with an emphasis on animism, totemism and animal magics (gee, who woulda guessed?) Some of ya already know me, some don't, but it's good to be here regardless :)
I've always liked writing, though the B.A. in English pretty much solidified it for me. I've been writing semi-professionally for a couple of years now; my first book, Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic came out earlier this year, and my next one, A Field Guide to Otherkin, is going to be out this coming March.
Here are a couple of things I've written on therianthropy, two of which are hosted elsewhere (but feel free to add them to the queue). I'm sure I'll come up with more at a later time, hence part of why I'm here (the other part being to read :) :
I Am Not a Werewolf
Wolf Therians and Pack - this is the first of three essays I wrote of varying lengths on what Pack means to me. It does have a link at the bottom to the original LJ post.
Here's the second part - some of this material went into "I Am Not a Werewolf" above.
And the third part

Date: 2006-10-07 03:59 am (UTC)I very much get what you say when talking about "pack" and "Pack". I do feel very happy when I am with those I consider pack, but the canine energy is often lacking. My little-p pack does let me be wolfish, but I've never felt what it is like to have wolfish energy returned to me. It would be nice to know such a thing, but it is not always reasonable to expect. I once was adopted into a clan of earthly cats, and it was a remarkable experience, but cat society is far more calmer and not dominance or hunting based. I cherish that memory while still wondering what it would be like to have canine energy flowing all around me instead.
