About Me:: I hate writting these things. I consider myself to be a straight forward person who works at honesty and integrity within relationships. I study the energy that is created between individuals and groups and strive to identify the elements that can keep our personal energy running clean with the people we interact with, and care for, in this life. I have been on the Pagan Path for 22 years and have studied several traditions within Wicca, Traditional Witchcraft, Shamanism, and just heathenism in general. =). What I consider myself, today, is a Ghetto Shaman: Living on the hedge between civilization and the Wild, working with the tools I have available to me, and merging the two worlds to find my personal balance. An earth-friendly yurt, in the middle of nowhere, with an envirolet composting potty and wireless internet. There is more to it than that, but you get the gist.

I love Community, and what can be accomplished when you have a strong foundation of individuals willing to work for the greater good of all. I believe in personal responsibility & accountibility, and compassion & kindness. I also believe in consequences and tough love, or straight forward reality (delivered with tact), when necessary.

I believe in the importance of Ethics as I think it is a core part of the foundation for a Balanced way of life. I believe it should be a life goal for human beings to want to learn to take the High Road and better ourselves as aware spiritual creatures. I do realize that everyone has their own Path, and I do respect that... but only if you are respectful, in turn.

I am a free spirited gal, who loves to laugh, camp, watch scary movies, go to festivals (my Most Favorite Being Pagan Spirit Gathering hosted by Circle Sanctuary and held in Salem, MO), go to Fire Circles (a new passion), and lots of other stuff & junk. I am interested in talking with folks who might be willing to discuss and explore the Ethics issue as it relates to our selves, and our Community as a whole. I am also currently studying (separately) Alchemy, hunting themes, and pack behaviors, so if you have some juicy information.... Please Share!

Do You Wear A Pentacle?

I do. I made the choice and have had the fortune to live my life as an "Out of the Broom Closet" Pagan. I have always done so, since I was 20 years old, and have had the benefit of watching the attitudes towards our Spirituality change and soften a bit. Much of that is due largely in part to those in our Community to have dedicated their Path to the education of the Masses through publications, radio shows, Interfaith Gatherings, and so on. Through these tireless efforts I have noticed now that… Continue

Bring On Midsummer and PAGAN SPIRIT GATHERING~!

Here in Chicago we have actually had a bit of a break in the hard winter weather to the point where all the snow has melted. You can see the grass, feel the changing Winds on your face,and some crazy mother even let her kid run out of the house in nothing but shorts and a t-shirt. It has been a welcome relief, and shifts my thoughts to warmer days and my excitement grows....

June 14th & PAGAN SPIRIT GATHERING IS COMING!!! Woot Woot! The 51 week supply run is well over half over and soon I w… Continue

Welcome Tristan Sage~ A Tale of Pagan Birthing

We started out in Madison, where I had been staying all week checking out the area in anticipation of our move this coming summer. Billy Crow and Ana had arrived the night before, and we all rose with the sun for what promised to be an exciting day! Utah Jen was going to have the baby today. After a month of false labor and fears of a baby too large to deliver, the decision was made to induce labor....and so the birthing team gathered at the St. Claire's Hospital in Baraboo, WI. Fearn had spent… Continue

when your mission is clear and you
burn with the inner fire of unbreakable will;
no cold can touch your heart;
no deluge can dampen your purpose.
You know that you are alive.

I'm so glad you took the time to weave a little. If you have any questions about the four straw let me know. I got home and baby bird didn't want to nurse. I think it's time to ween. She is growing up too fast for me.

If you go on youtube and type in pyro dylan you'll see him spinning and a blooper too. He is awesome for just one month of acutal spinning.
