- About Me:
- I describe myself as an artist, gardener and Witch. I have been involved with Mystery and the Spirit Peoples for over thirty years. My spiritual roots spring from the balance between the wild and the domestic; art, gardening, Queer Spirit, Hedge Witchery, runes, hiking, deep dreaming, shamanic visioning, cooking and the exploration of the sacred realms of sex and pleasure. I am committed to the building and nurturance of the emerging Cultures of Beauty, Balance and Delight. I suspect that it is high time that we choose to take on the continual acts of creation needed to build these sustainable ways of life. I know in my bones and blood, that we all have the power to bring these emerging cultures into our daily lives. I know that we are all Co-creators of the Multiverse.

The list of folks is very interesting. Thank you for adding my name. It would be grand to continue our correspondence. You can reach me at iowariver@mac.com.
My home group (Earth Conclave) is having a gathering in rural Wisconsin over Halloween weekend that you may be interesting in attending. I have information on my blog site if you are interested.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Donald
Some time ago I added your name to a list of folks that we Queer pagan types have looked up to and admired. I hope that you don't mind. http://www.brotherhoodofthephoenix.org/node/251
I do hope to be able to correspond with you here or through e-mail. Happy lughnasadh/lammas to you and yours,
Matthew
Sorry to not get back to you sooner. I was out visiting my mom in MT and shortly after I returned to Chicago I got hit with a nasty flu that has lasted the better part of the last month. I'm just now starting to get better and re-emerge. It would be nice to sit down and chat at some point -- I think that as time goes by we'll be seeing more and more queer heathens speaking up and making their presence felt. Are you familiar at all with Raven Kaldera and the folks at Cauldron farm?
Hugs,
Wulfelm
I got your message, and I know it must be confusing calling a complete stranger "friend". But I count "friends" on here as someone who I can either maybe learn something from or can just have an interesting conversation with (or both). This place is crammed with new and intriguing people that (although I've never met them) I have learnt much from, had deep conversations and/or just had a couple laughs with. I visited your site, and you seem like an interesting person. Don't feel pressured into having to write constantly or anything (I'm not that demanding, hehe). But if you feel the need, drop us a message. Enjoy the weekend!

I just liked what you had to say on your profile, about us all being co-creators and I am an artist as well. I like meeting new people and exploring the world with new perspectives. I feel I learn something from everyone I meet.
Merry Meet & Welcome to Pagan Space!
