Like so many other bloggers, I don’t want to put ads on this blog to generate revenue. That still leaves plenty of room for people who are inclined to throw money my way. Part of why I can write posts for this blog is because I am self-employed, and writing is part of that. Since I offer the writings on this blog for free, here are other options in case you would like to support me financially, even a little bit:

–Books: I have written several books on totemism, shamanism and related topics, and am included in a few anthologies as well. The best option for me, financially, is for you to buy the book from me directly; I get more than just the 10% royalty. However, I also understand that sometimes you have to budget, and sometimes secondhand sellers on Amazon have the books for much less than the cover price.

–Artwork: Since the 1990s I’ve been creating a variety of ritual tools, jewelry and other sacred art out of hides, bones, beads, and so forth. I’m self-taught, and my artwork is NOT Native American, just so’s you know. I’ve made thousands of pieces over the years, and I’ve put a lot of time into developing my designs, to include structural designs like the braided leather belt for tails, and my personal method of converting whole hides into dance costumes. I have a wide range of items and prices, and addition to my website I also have my artwork on my Etsy store. And there’s extra information on my popular antler rune and ogam sets, to include many custom options, over at Antler Runes.

–Totem readings: I’ve been reading with the Ted Andrews Animal-Wise deck since it came out in 1999. I’ve done many, many readings both personally and professionally with a spread that the deck and I worked out together when I first brought it home.

–Gift certificates: If you know someone who would like any of the above, but aren’t sure exactly what to pick out, this is a great option!

–Shamanic Services: I offer shamanic services in Portland and the surrounding area; more information is available here.

–Offer me work: I take custom work as an artist. Additionally, I’m always looking for good, paid writing opportunities, including but not limited to the pagan market.

–Donate: Even a few dollars helps. There’s a donate button over here.

In addition to all this, word of mouth makes the world go ’round, so if you know anyone who may be interested in any of the above, or this blog in general, let them know!
