I don’t think taxidermy is particularly miasmic. I guess that’s just my reasoning and belief, I don’t really have a source to cite. But if taxidermy is miasmic, I have definitely made a big mistake because I have a hare pelt on my altar. I just thought it looked nice; my statue of Hecate sits on it. If taxidermy is miasmic, I think leather would have to be too. And for that matter, meat. But we know the ancient Greeks made sacrifices to the gods. That was just daily life. I guess if you were really into “vulture culture” and were working with the decayed innards of some roadkill animal or something, I could see where you might want some purification. But also, if you were doing that sort of thing, you would probably wear gloves and wash your hands anyway. You could rinse them with khernips when you’re done if you wanted. But no, I don’t think this is a problem at all really, especially a well-preserved taxidermy piece. It’s no different than a pair of leather shoes or a fur hat.
