Animal Without, Animal Within : Restoring The Shapeshifters Stang At The Witches’ Wood

This weekend at the Witches Wood at Raven’s Knoll I was able to work with a stang that I had not before.

The shapeshifters stang has been in a sad state for a while, transformed into nothing but a small stick. The furs gone, the bones rotted, the offerings black and fallen. The new stang had been resting there and ready, I couldn’t bare thinking of folk coming back to nothing, yet I didn’t want to rob anyone of the chance to work with the stang. I had to sit and think and talk to the animal within.

So, curled into the den I began to wash and lovingly take away the rot, honouring each offering thanking them for their love and service. I kept some things that still had life to give, Bob the skull now nothing but his upper face, was washed and cleaned with sacred waters, and the stang stripped bare. I had a moment of silence thanking the bones of the fetch, once a great young stang now a peaceful staff, an elder who’s earned its rest. I laid it to rest in the boundary wall, to watch on as the new stang steps into its place. Turning now to the new I began to replace the stripped items to their new home. Bob looked happy with his new jaw and the the offerings were beautifully placed. New additions of rabbit fur and bones, shells, snake skin, beads, and bones were added and finally the stang was finished. What started as a solo work became a group affair as everyone tucked into the den to place the stang, digging with shovel, paws and claws. The energy was tangible as we burred it into the earth, cradled by offerings and libations of water and herb. Stones were gathered and placed around the base and one last wash was poured over.

Excitement and accomplishment wash over everyone as we stepped back to look at the work we had done. standing proud and ready for the folk was The Animal Within, and almost as if our time had run out the sky began to open and we rushed to gather our things before we were caught in the coming storm. As I walked back to camp I think of the animals I saw this weekend, all the different spirits that had shown themselves to me Otter, Butterfly, Raven, Snake, Squirrel, Toad, Frog, Crane, Beetle, bat and spider, everything moving and breathing together, living together on land.

‘Stangs of the West

It’s unknown why and how the horses in the Western part of the US survived but many believe it has to do with their ancestors being wild horses native to the land. A stang does not seem too different from what the old world horses look like, but they are very much more perceptive. Sporting two pairs of ears and eyes, they are used to capture different frequencies and see in a different way with each pair. They are not as fast as ghouls who survived the bombs remember, but they are hardy and can withstand the harsh wastes. The color variants they are mostly seen in are earthy tones, browns reds and even more pinkish/skin-like tones (but that’s more so with specimens that don’t have much of a coat left). They, unlike horses, don’t really find themselves in herds as much, opting for two to three specimens per group (usually a family like group).

Caravans and merchants use them as a way to get through all the rough terrain easily and it’s been heard some are even being trained by rangers to help make patrols quicker and easier. 

1966 Shelby GT350.

By 1966, the Shelby GT350 loses its Mustang emblems. For this year more colors are added to the range like blue, red, green and black. Other changes include new rear side windows that replace the 1965 model vents. The rear seat is offered as optional equipment. While the first 1965 models had the engine block painted in black, they were now painted in the regular dark blue. Equally new are the double exhaust outputs.

The 1966 production was 1,373 fastbacks, including two prototypes and four converted to dragsters, plus 252 copies with 1965 bodyworks. Four "experimental" convertibles were built to study the feasibility of this bodywork, which finally appeared as 1967 1/2, which Totals a production of 2,378 copies in that year.

I've done some weird things around stangs on this day. This year, it dawned on me I have access to the familial Deerstalker of Beinn Alligin. Antler and possibly birch wood.
