Wolfmaan's Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you always barefoot?
I have gone barefoot since I was very young, and firmly believe that going without shoes allows me a deep connection with the natural world. It forces me to slow down, to be careful where I go, and pay attention to my surroundings.
I'm living proof that a westernised person can can successfully live barefoot without injury or complication.
Going barefoot is very primal, very primitive and fills me with Earth Energy.
We live in complex times. Most western people are far removed from the natural world in almost every aspect of their lives. Tom Brown Jr, states that we all need to “re-establish our connection with the earth”.
Every time there is a media reference to you, it's normally focused around your feet. Why is that?
I enjoy a connection to the Earth that few people understand. I enjoy a tactile sense which few people experience on a day to day basis. Going barefoot certainly makes me different than 95% of other adventurers and travel writers out there. I certainly don't want to be known only for going barefoot, but that uniqueness often makes for an interesting read.
You mention that being barefoot is a “primal thing”. What does that mean?
I am a very spiritual person. I studied esoteric spirituality such as Wicca for many, many years. It's very common for Wiccans, Buddhists, and other spiritual based belief systems to go barefoot to keep their connection with the Earth Mother.
Is it a fetish thing?
I am always surprised when people ask me about this. I certainly won't deny it feels good to be barefoot, it is not a sexual thing.
What Kind Of Music do you like?
I have a very unusual taste in music. Most people have never heard of the groups I listen to, although some are popular in Europe. I love tribal music with drumming and chanting like "Gabrielle Roth and The Mirrors", and "Huun Huur Tu" (Mongolian Throat Music) I also love "Morcheeba" and "Tricky". On the darker side I enjoy "Oribital", "Enigma", "Delerium" and even "Enya"
