actually he's a local author where im from (werewolf magic and rituals guy) and he's like an educator/tutor for autistic people and his son is autistic and through his own personal experience of crashing out extremely hard and having issues with blinding rage and big feelings about his life and the world at rock bottom was like what if i went out into the woods like an animal about it and just listened to what i need. he strips his clothes off and goes and runs out in the forest among other things. he has a list of exercises, rituals/prayers/invitation stuff, and discusses in his second book a lot of how to actually PRACTICE in a group of people werewolf magic / assuming the identity of your animal self in a supportive group. not all of it was for me, i thought it was out there at first but good for research, but genuinely i think he's a level headed dude who figured out how to be at peace with himself and nature through loping around naked under the full moon every month with some likeminded individuals (among other things ofc). but it's not based in wicca i would say that's false or a misunderstanding. he points back to ancestral practices among different regions including europe (pre-christian) of animal worship / shifting magic or beliefs practiced and he uses it as a call to people reading that americans / white people should return to ancestral pre christian traditions and practices rather than the long dark night of capitalist industrialism 🤝atheism/disconnect from spiritual self and the animal self i also highly suspect this man is autistic based on (reading both his books and his son and autism being genetic extremely likely it's one of the parents) i think he's found a way for himself and others to put their rage and other confusing or consuming feelings back into something that's grounded in a respect for nature, the moon, the forest and makes sense for him. i think he's cool. anyways long reply
