I
don't want this blog to be about me, but I will be making
recommendations and giving opinions along and, you probably need to
know a little about me.
My
name is Wolf VanZandt. I'm a 63 year old (at this posting - it keeps
changing) retired vocational evaluator that lives in the Denver,
Colorado area. Until I moved here, I had never lived outside the
southeastern United States and had only traveled outside that region
four times - three times to Denver. I was born in south Florida and
grew up in Georgia and Alabama. My jobs have included ornamental
plant shipper, library assistant, textile mill worker, security
guard, retail salesperson, self-service gas station clerk, laboratory
assistant, media department manager, animal handler for a dairy unit
(that would be a cow poke to some of you), offshore pipeline lay
barge welder helper, camp counselor at a camp for disabled persons,
and, for twenty years, a professional vocational rehabilitation
specialist.
When
people ask me what I like doing, I generally report, truthfully, that
I don't like bookkeeping. My actual hobby is life long learning.
One
reason for this website is that I suspect that my other website, the
Therian Timeline, makes other people think that it's only for
Therians. It is specifically for Therians but it also has a lot of
general interest stuff (I'll be providing links here.)
Most
people, it turns out, are hybrid homo sapiens x homo
Neanderthalensis, but where most of them show as pure human, I and
folks like me show all the Neanderthal traits. I consider us
Neanderthal. As such, I'm one of a subset that shows shamanic
tendencies and (in my opinion) that makes me a Werewolf. Other have
different ideas about what constitutes a Were or a Therian but that's
my take on the subject. Regardless, I'm not in the first or second
standard deviation of humanity, but neither am I alone.
I
like diversity. I enjoy hearing others takes on things - I like
hearing stories. I like other cultures.
I'm
a devout and orthodox Christian (orthodox in that I accept the Bible
as fundamental to the Christian faith and I adhere to the Apostles'
Creed). As I also adhere to sola scriptura, I'm pretty sure the
Apostles would not recognize today's Christianity as a legitimate
embodiment of Christ's teachings. That and my outlier life
experiences undoubtedly color my beliefs.
People
ask how my therianthropy changes my world view and I have no idea how
to answer because I have nothing to compare it with and it pervades
my life, so, even if I could give an answer, it would be too long,
complex, and involved to be tolerated by a being with finite
attention span. And I've probably stretched this introduction beyond
that tolerance limit, so I will move on to other things.
